The force of the crash caused multiple injuries. She experienced:
Despite extensive treatment, her recovery was incomplete. She was left with a permanent partial disability, meaning she will always have some degree of physical limitation as a result of the crash.
Cases like this are often underestimated by insurance companies. Because the injuries were not catastrophic, the insurer initially tried to downplay the impact on our client’s life. But as Derek Spada and the Basch Keegan & Spada team know, justice is not only for those with the most severe injuries – it is also for those whose pain and limitations disrupt their livelihood, independence, and quality of life.
The defense also downplayed the case because our client is a Hispanic immigrant. Derek argued that the law applies equally to everyone. Derek further pointed out to the defense that our client was here legally and was employed during the time leading up to the collision.
Derek and his team carefully documented the client’s medical treatment, the long-term effects of her injuries, and how her permanent disability altered her ability to work and participate in daily activities. Through strategic negotiation and persistence, Derek achieved a $300,000 settlement that reflected the true impact of the accident.
This settlement provides our client with more than financial compensation – it provides security, dignity, and recognition of what she endured. While no amount of money can erase the pain she experienced, this outcome will help her manage medical expenses, support her family, and move forward with greater peace of mind.
