The Case
Our client was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sustained soft tissue injuries. Over time, those injuries developed into chronic low back pain that had a significant impact on her daily life and ability to work.
As a single mother, our client’s injuries affected her earning capacity. She was no longer able to maintain full-time employment and was limited to working part-time.
The case remained unresolved throughout the litigation process and did not settle until just a few weeks before the scheduled trial was set to begin. Despite the late-stage negotiations, the matter was successfully resolved without proceeding to trial.
At the end of 2025, our client received an all-inclusive settlement of $750,000.
Why It Matters
This case highlights the lasting impact that soft tissue injuries can have when they develop into chronic pain. Even injuries that may not initially appear catastrophic can significantly affect a person’s ability to work and support their family.
The result also demonstrates that meaningful settlements can be achieved even after extensive litigation, including in cases that resolve only shortly before trial.
