Our client was stopped at a traffic light during her lunch break when she was rear-ended by another driver. At the scene, she did not immediately report injuries. However, by the time she got home, she began feeling unwell. The next day, she visited urgent care, which referred her to the ER due to severe pain in her neck and back caused by soft tissue injuries. After weeks of physical therapy, she made a full recovery.
Despite the clear connection to the crash, the at-fault driver’s insurance company attempted to deny liability, arguing that her injuries must have been caused by something else since she didn’t seek immediate treatment. We countered this by providing expert opinions from her treating physicians and independent medical experts. Faced with strong evidence, the insurance company quickly settled for a substantial and fair amount.
