Not long ago, a man was traveling westbound through an intersection with a green light when a police vehicle, who was responding to a call with no sirens or lights on failed to yield to the oncoming traffic and struck his car on the passenger side. The impact from the collision with the police cruiser caused the other vehicle to be pushed off the road before eventually coming to a rest. He took himself to Gottlieb Memorial Hospital where he was treated for multiple injuries to his neck, thigh, wrist and right knee including medial and lateral meniscus tears. This required the man to undergo a knee arthroscopy with partial lateral meniscectomy with significant post-op care.

Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. and their experienced car accident attorneys took the man’s case and after intense negotiations, reached a $87,500 settlement for this client’s injuries, loss of work, and the restrictions on his lifestyle since the accident.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
