$1M Auto Accident Settlement

$1M Auto Accident Settlement

Settlement: $1,000,000

Attorneys: Gene Riddle and Adam Smith

Our client was injured in an auto accident and the defendant driver was charged with a DWI. Our client suffered soft tissues injuries to the neck and back, and incurred approximately $20,000 in medical expenses. We filed suit after receiving lowball offers from the insurance carrier. We hired an accident reconstructionist and thoroughly investigated the accident to preserve the evidence against the defendant driver. We engaged in extensive written discovery and depositions of witnesses and parties. After a long legal process, we settled at mediation for $1,000,000, which included compensation for punitive damages against the impaired driver. We consider this one of our best results of 2024.
