A driver who runs a red light can change another person’s life in an instant. When a serious crash leads to extensive medical treatment, recovering compensation often depends on proving what happened and documenting the full extent of the injuries. At The Sanders Law Firm, we focus on building cases supported by the facts and the medical evidence.
Our client, a 42-year-old man, was injured in a car accident while working. He was traveling straight on Peninsula Boulevard in Nassau County when another driver ran a red light and struck his vehicle.
To establish liability, we obtained a statement from an independent witness confirming that the defendant ran the red light. Following the collision, our client was transported to Mercy Hospital, where he began receiving treatment for his injuries.
His recovery required extensive medical care. He underwent surgery to repair a tear in his left shoulder, followed by a lumbar discectomy. When that procedure did not provide the intended result, he later underwent a second lumbar discectomy and spinal fusion approximately four months later.
We Pursued the Compensation Our Client Deserved
After our client underwent his second back surgery, we presented a demand to the insurance carrier for the defendant’s $500,000 policy limit. A few weeks later, the parties negotiated a $485,000 settlement, resolving the case before trial.
