Firm Partner Glenn Siegel recently achieved a major victory for our client V.V., securing a $1 million settlement after a serious crash involving a dump truck in southern Palm Beach County.
The case presented challenges from the outset, including a police report that incorrectly placed fault on our client, but through Glenn’s dedicated advocacy, justice prevailed.
The collision left V.V. with multiple traumatic injuries, requiring extensive medical treatment and months of rehabilitation. She required extensive physical therapy along with multiple injections in her neck, lower back, knee, and shoulder. She also missed five months of work from her job as a nurse while focusing on recovery. Despite recommendations from her doctors to undergo spine and knee surgeries, V.V. made the difficult decision to delay those procedures out of fear of losing her job and her ability to return to work.
Complicating the matter further, a community service officer concluded that V.V. caused the crash, even though he never got a statement from her as she was rushed by ambulance to the hospital.
Firm Partner Glenn Siegel carefully reviewed the evidence, uncovered key details that had been overlooked, and successfully challenged the initial findings. His efforts ultimately convinced the insurance company that the dump truck driver was 100% at fault.
As a result, the insurer agreed to pay the full $1 million policy limit, providing V.V. with the compensation she deserved for the long-term impact this crash caused her.
This case underscores the importance of experienced legal representation, especially when the facts are initially stacked against you. Our team is committed to uncovering the truth, fighting for our clients and ensuring they receive the justice they deserve.
