Our client was a passenger in a taxicab in Washington, DC that was rear-ended. As a result of the accident, our client suffered numerous injuries including: cervical, thoracic and lumber strains; headaches; post- concussion syndrome; impingement of the left supraspinatus tendon; separation of the AC joint of the left shoulder; internal derangement of the right knee; and a tear of the lateral and medial meniscus and chondromalacia of the right knee. The insurance company for the responsible driver disputed that all of the injuries were due to the accident and refused to pay any compensation. We filed suit, retained medical experts to testify that our client’s injuries were in fact, legitimate and caused by the accident and were able to obtain a settlement of $120,000 on the eve of trial.
