Kopfler & Hermann represented a client who was rear-ended in a passenger vehicle and sustained injuries requiring orthopedic and neurosurgical treatment. The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and resolved in 2020 for $387,500.
The case involved disputes about the speed of impact, the mechanism of injury, and whether our client’s symptoms were caused entirely by the collision or by a combination of pre-existing degenerative changes and the trauma. Through depositions of the treating physicians and the use of biomechanical analysis, our firm was able to establish a clear causal link between the rear-end impact and the disabling injuries our client experienced.
If you have been rear-ended and the insurance adjuster is offering you a settlement that does not reflect the full extent of your medical care or your lost income, call Kopfler & Hermann.
