Spinal Injury leads to Three Quarters of a Million Dollars
The NYC Accident Lawyers of Raphaelson & Levine, Attorneys at Law represented a 30 year old woman who was injured in a motor vehicle accident in New York City. The car in which she was a passenger was struck by a truck. The vehicle in which she was in was attempting to exit a parking spot and was primarily responsible for the accident. As a result of the impact our client sustained spinal injuries that led to epidural injections and ultimately a laminectomy, a procedure to relieve pressure in the spine due to a herniated disk.
The case was particularly difficult because our client had two prior accidents, both pursued legally, with one resulting in a back injury in the same area that our client ultimately underwent the laminectomy. Additionally the Truck driver claimed our client was in fact the driver, not the passenger and the police report attributed the complete fault on the car, not the truck.
Through aggressive litigation Andrew Levine was able to secure a recovery of $750,000 on the eve of trial. This included $25,000 from the car, which represented the full insurance policy limit. The remaining portion as recovered from the truck. A portion of the sum was placed into a structured settlement thus the client's ultimate recovery will near $1,000,000.00. This recovery was featured in the New York Jury Verdict Reporter as a top recovery.
