$250,000 Settled Before Trial : Auto Collision

Dutchess County, NY Our client’s vehicle was struck by a van driven by the defendant. As a result of the crash, she suffered soft-tissue injuries and two herniated discs. From the very beginning and throughout the course of followup treatment most doctors concurred that she would need surgery for her neck. The defendants opened up with an offer of $50,000 and we continued to work on the file. The key here was not backing down from our demand, working up the case and politely leaving the mediation when we realized that they did not come with full authority to settle the case. At that point they realized we were serious and approximately two weeks later the case settled. Attorneys: Robert Borrero
