$2.425 Million Settlement
Our client was nine years old when he was struck by a motor vehicle while he was walking in front of it. The driver struck our client accidentally with the front of the vehicle and pinned him against a wall. Our client suffered fractures to his lower body, a degloving injury to his leg, and a mild traumatic brain injury.
Our client had experienced challenges in school before the accident due to a pre-existing medical condition. With the help of medical experts, we were able to distinguish his accident-related impairments from his pre-existing impairments. We successfully settled his tort and accident benefits files for $2,425,000 at mediation.
Our clients decided to place $1,739,000 of the settlement funds into a structured settlement. By the time our client is 80 years old, the structure will have paid out over $4,451,000 to him on a tax-free basis.
