Our client was driving a company truck on the Capital Beltway in Silver Spring, Maryland when he was rear-ended. As a result of the accident, he suffered a closed head trauma; cervical, dorsal, and lumbrosacral strains; contusion to his left ribs; an internal derangement of his left knee; and persistent headaches. After he came to us, we recommended that he see a doctor for a second opinion and he then received extensive treatment for his injuries. As the statute of limitations approached, we drafted a law suit and were prepared to file it, but we were able to settle his case for $177,500 without filing the lawsuit.
