Recently, Portner & Shure attorney, Kevin Ruby
and paralegal, Amy Patton, settled a Virginia auto accident case for $112,000
just before trial was set to begin. This
accident occurred on Duke Street in Alexandria, Virginia in the midst of stop
and go traffic. The Defendant admitted
to not paying attention and rear-ended our client. Since the Defendant driver was not paying
attention while driving in heavy traffic, he hit our client’s vehicle with
great force because he did not apply the brakes. The insurance company involved in the case refused
to make any settlement offers initially because they were arguing that a
majority of our client’s injuries were pre-existing. Injuries to our client resulting from the
accident included injuries to her head, neck, hip and knee. We filed suit in
this case, which likely prompted the insurance company to begin settlement
negotiations in order to avoid going to trial.
Eventually, the insurance company made a very favorable offer of
$112,000 that our client was more than happy to accept.
