attorney Jared Staver was recently contacted by a 57-year-old man rear-ended on Surmac Road in the city of Berwyn, Illinois. As a result of the rear-end collision Berwyn Police were called to the scene to investigate and the other driver was found to be at-fault and cited for the accident. Experiencing back and neck pain after the collision our client transported himself to Rush University Medical Center. Our client was treated and released and advised to follow up with his primary care physician. Upon doing so our client’s physician ordered an MRI to evaluate the continued back and neck pain and discovered our client suffered a serious lower lumbar injury as a result of the rear-end collision. Our client’s physician ordered pain management epidural shots in his back which relieved our client’s pain but required extended time off from work and thousands of dollars for these expensive treatments. When our client discovered the driver at-fault for the accident was an uninsured motorist our client immediately contacted the experienced attorneys of Staver Accident Injury Lawyers, P.C. to help him through this difficult and complicated experience. Our client’s own insurance policy carried Uninsured Motorist Coverage and our attorneys filed an Uninsured Motorist Claim with our client’s own insurance company. Working hard to represent our client Jared Staver successfully negotiated a settlement within four months of contacting our office for the maximum amount of our client’s policy at $35,000.00.
