$175K Settlement in Accident Case


Posted on Dec 26, 2008

Plaintiff was a 42-year-old preschool owner and administrator. The accident occurred on Route 17 in Stafford County when the defendant pulled out from a stop sign. There was no liability dispute, and the defendant could not be found.

Plaintiff had rapid onset of cervical and lumbar symptoms. After extensive unhelpful treatment, she was diagnosed with a herniated cervical disc and underwent surgery, which largely alleviated her symptoms.

Plaintiff was unable to work for approximately a year following the accident and claimed $41,000 as the cost of hiring personnel to replace her during that period.
