Portner & Shure settled a pedestrian accident
case for our injured client for $65,000.
The incident occurred in the parking lot of our client’s place of
employment in Salisbury, Maryland. Our
client was walking in the parking lot at work when she was struck by a car. Although there were no broken bones, our
client suffered injuries to her neck, back, arms, and legs. Medical bills totaled more than $46,000 for
our client.
Our paralegal, Pam
Brown, negotiated a settlement with the insurance company for $65,000. Since the accident happened in the parking lot
of her job, she was entitled to workers’ compensation benefits as well. A lien for more than $51,000 was due to be
paid, however, Pam negotiated a deal with the workers’ compensation carrier to
write off the entire lien. So in
reality, the recovery was $97,000 in a case with no broken bones or significant
injuries.
