At The Sanders Law Firm, we understand that pedestrian accidents can result in serious injuries, extensive medical treatment, and lasting physical challenges. When a driver disputes responsibility for an accident, establishing what actually happened becomes a critical part of pursuing compensation. In this case, our legal team secured a $1,950,000 settlement for a 40-year-old woman who suffered multiple injuries after being struck by a vehicle while crossing the street.
Our client was an active woman who worked as a banker. At approximately 8:30 in the morning, she was crossing the street when a car struck her, causing injuries to her neck, back, shoulders, and knees. Her injuries required multiple surgeries, including the implantation of a spinal cord stimulator in her back in an attempt to relieve her pain. Unfortunately, the procedure did not provide the relief she needed.
The driver disputed responsibility for the accident, claiming that our client had run into the street without looking. Our trial team, consisting of senior partner E. David Woycik Jr., attorney Matt Kittrell, and senior paralegal Katie Ramos, worked to establish the facts surrounding the collision.
Through their efforts, we secured video evidence that directly contradicted the driver’s account. The footage showed that our client had not run into the street and had looked both ways before attempting to cross. This evidence helped challenge the driver’s version of events and supported our client’s claim.
Ultimately, we secured a $1,950,000 settlement on behalf of our client.
