Our client was a 51-year old otherwise healthy woman who was driving her car near her home when she came upon a four-way stop. Our client stopped her vehicle at the stop bar, and saw another vehicle approaching the intersection from the left a short distance from the intersection. Our client assumed the other vehicle was going to stop at the intersection, so our client proceeded. The vehicle on her left didn’t stop, and crashed into our client’s car.
Our client’s car was demolished, and declared a total loss. The offending driver’s insurance company paid for our client to purchase a replacement vehicle.
Our client began suffering left knee pain immediately after the crash, so she sent to see a Board-certified orthopedic surgeon. An MRI of our client’s knee was performed that revealed a complex tear of the posterior horn of our client’s medial meniscus. Our client tried a series of steroid injections into her knee, but the injections did not alleviate the pain or swelling that she was suffering with.
Our client eventually had to undergo an arthroscopic meniscectomy surgery. Her surgery went well, without complications, and our client is back to essentially full function.
The at-fault driver had only $10,000.00 in available bodily injury liability coverage, which was tendered before our client had her surgery. Our client was also wise enough to carry Underinsured Motorist coverage with Liberty Mutual Insurance.
We were able to secure an additional $70,000.00 in Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist benefits for our client which she used to pay her outstanding medical bills and create a small nest egg to address any future medical bills she may face.
