While driving in slow traffic, a 60-year-old woman was severely injured when a car crashed into her vehicle at the intersection of Linwood Avenue and Jeffer Court in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C. filed suit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, proving that the defendant was negligent in failing to drive their car safely, and won our client a $250,000 settlement.
The woman was taken by ambulance to Valley Hospital in Paramus, New Jersey, and was diagnosed with multiple fractures throughout her arm and hand, including a fracture in the right distal radius and base of the index finger. For treatment, she underwent open reduction internal fixation surgery and completed several courses of physical therapy for her pain.
Davis, Saperstein & Salmon retained a medical expert to author a narrative report that proved the permanent nature of our client’s injuries. The expert’s report helped win the client a settlement for her injuries, pain, and suffering.
Settlements are often limited by the total available insurance coverage. Insurance company adjusters and their lawyers often defend cases by claiming that a client was negligent and could have avoided being injured by arguing comparative negligence on the part of an injured client; or that their pain and suffering was caused by pre-existing medical conditions or prior injuries. Despite those defenses, the Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, PC lawyers won their client’s injury claim. Each client’s case is unique. Results may differ because of different facts, circumstances, and available insurance coverage.
