Our client, a young woman, was driving on a two-lane road when a distracted driver operating a heating and air commercial van swerved into her lane. With little room to react, she pulled to the side and attempted to stop, but the van struck her head-on. She suffered a broken arm, multiple other injuries, and significant financial losses, including lost wages and time away from school. The insurance company initially offered an unfairly low settlement. Our firm took action, filing a lawsuit against both the driver and the company in Monongalia County, West Virginia. After conducting numerous depositions, we secured a substantial settlement on her behalf.
