Back & Spinal-Cord Injuries
Car Accidents
Matt Conner’s client suffered serious neck and spine injuries after being rear-ended while stopped for traffic. After months of continuous medical treatment, our client’s physicians decided that a rare double-fusion surgery was the best option to relieve his constant pain.
After surgery, Matt’s client gained some relief, but will likely live the rest of his life with some level of pain and discomfort. His injuries prevent him from enjoying recreational activities like motorcycling, camping, and swimming.
The unfortunate aspect of this case is that there was not much insurance money available, since the limits of the at-fault driver’s insurance policy were only $50,000.
Fortunately, our client’s insurance policy included Underinsured Motorist (UIM) coverage.Matt Conner successfully negotiated with his client’s own insurance adjuster to obtain the UIM limits as well, bring his client’s total recovery to $150,000.
