$11 Million Settlement Reached in Brain Injury Case

A 19-year-old Virginia woman who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a traffic crash, has settled her case for $11 million with the owner of a van that crossed the center line on a wet two-lane highway. 

She was a backseat passenger in the vehicle that was hit by the van. She incurred $562,043 in medical bills for the treatment of these injuries after the crash.

Currently, Alabama’s statute of limitations for bringing a personal injury or wrongful death claim is two years from the date of the accident. So, if you’ve been injured in an auto accident, consult with an attorney whose practice focuses in this area of the law to discuss your situation – and do so well before that deadline. As always, consultations are free, without obligation and are strictly confidential.

Before the injury, the woman participated in softball and gymnastics and took advanced placement classes in high school. The woman now has the functional abilities of a 12-year-old and her doctors feel that it is unlikely that she will ever recover any more intellectual capacity.

Unfortunately, these injuries happen too frequently and they are often the result of the wrongdoing of someone else. Likewise, when these injuries do happen, insurance companies refuse to do the right thing and if they are not forced into accountability, the victim suffers a second injustice to them.
