$700,000
While stopped in congested traffic, a parent, teenage daughter and her friend, were slammed into by a truck going an estimated 40mph. The daughter’s friend tragically lost her life in the collision. Our attorneys represented the parent and daughter in claims of negligence against the truck driver and his employer. Fortunately, our clients survived the impact without life-threatening injuries. However, the psychological impact on both was immense requiring months of therapy to address feelings of guilt over the loss of the friend. With thorough preparation including documentation from the therapists, we were able to secure a joint settlement of $700,000 for our clients at a pre-lawsuit mediation. They were in the legal term “zone of danger” and we made the case about the psychological impact on their lives despite little physical injuries.
