Call Earley Before It’s Too Late!A large part of our Boston personal injury law practice involves representing people injured in motor vehicle accidents due to no fault of their own. These cases include improper left-turns, rear-end accidents, improper lane changes, distracted driving, and other causes of car accidents.
In a recent motor vehicle accident case, our client, an elderly woman, was being transported in a van along with other passengers. The driver of the van was driving at a high-rate of speed. The van struck a pothole, causing our client to be violently moved in her seat. As a result, she sustained a serious burst fracture to her spine. This required her to undergo serious and extensive medical treatment. She would incur substantial medical bills. She was prescribed a walker to help her ambulate while her spine healed.
Our client only speaks Spanish. We were able to secure a written statement from another passenger, who also spoke Spanish, which confirmed the driver was driving too fast.
This case settled amicably with the van’s insurance company for $70,000. Thankfully we were able to settle the case without having to put our client through the car accident litigation process.
