The mother of our client in Alexandria, Virginia was struck by a U.S. Postal Service truck while she was crossing a street in Alexandria, Virginia. She died a short while after arriving at the hospital due to closed head injuries. She was 74 years old, lived alone, and worked part-time. We hired an investigator to document the accident scene and interview the sole witness and also retained an economist to calculate the full economic damages. As a result, we were able to settle the case prior to filing suit for $265,000.00, resulting in a recovery for her estate of over $208,000.00.
