$175,000 SETTLEMENT FOR MOTHER AND DAUGHTER

Jed Kirsch recently obtained a settlement during trial on behalf of a mother and daughter, who were driver and passenger, respectively, of a car that was struck in the rear by another car while they were stopped.  Liability for the happening of the accident was never in doubt and had been conceded. 

Our clients sustained serious injuries including a labral tear and rotator cuff tear of the shoulder, requiring two surgeries, injuries to the cervical and lumbar spines requiring orthopedic treatment with physical therapy, medication, radio frequency ablation  and epidural steroidal injections.  Although our clients made  good recoveries, we were able to obtain an excellent settlement of $175,000 for both clients, based upon our preparation for trial and our persistence in moving the case along and keeping pressure on the defendant.
