In River Grove, IL, a woman was recently stopped at a red light, when suddenly the car behind her experienced a brake failure and crashed into the back of her vehicle. This, in turn, caused her to violently hit her head on the steering wheel and her car struck the rear of the car in front of her. Following this multiple car collision, the woman drove herself to Gottlieb Memorial Hospital to have her injuries assessed, which included lumbar strains, contusions, cervical sprains, and disc bulges. After a follow-up consultation with her primary care physician, the woman began physical therapy, which lasted three months. The woman was unable to work for a period of time and with her medical bills climbing, she retained the services of Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. for their legal advice.

With the help of attorney Jared Staver, the client submitted a wage loss form to recoup the income her injuries prevented her from earning. The insurance company took financial responsibility; however, the amount they offered was insufficient. As a result, attorney Staver began aggressively negotiating to recover a more appropriate amount. In the end, Staver reached a settlement of $27,500, which included a full reimbursement for the wages the woman lost during her recovery. The client was relieved to be able to heal properly without this added financial concern.
