$1.35 Million Settlement
Our young client suffered soft tissue injuries which were complicated by anxiety and depression when a distracted driver violently rear-ended her at 80 km/hr. She worked for approximately two years in an office administration role following the collision. She had to take a disability leave of absence when her physical and psychological impairments interfered with her ability to work and cope with life in general.
Once she exhausted her medical & rehabilitation accident benefits, we submitted an application for Catastrophic Impairment to her auto insurer on her behalf, which the insurer denied. We successfully settled her tort and accident benefits cases at mediation for $1,350,000.
