$250,000 Settlement For Independence, Missouri Car Wreck Client By Driver Under The Influence of Drugs

A Foster Wallace client was very satisfied after settling his case for $250,000 after being struck by a driver under the influence of drugs in Independence, Missouri. Our client, a Vietnam veteran, had a lot of prior issues with his shoulder and back and, at first, the insurance company balked at paying him out the kind of money we were seeking, arguing he was already injured. After a lot of back and forth and hiring an expert witness to differentiate between his prior injuries and how the wreck caused new issues for our client, our client eventually settled his case for a collective $250,000. $50,000 of that was from the other driver’s insurance company and $200,000 of that was from an underinsured motorist policy he had. Our client is extremely happy with the result we were able to obtain for him.
