Lansing Car Accident Settlement For Serious Injuries
We recently settled a Lansing car accident lawsuit for a husband and wife from Holland, Michigan who suffered serious injuries in a car accident. The accident occurred because the defendant driver crossed the median of the road and struck our clients car near head-on. Both airbags deployed in the accident.
The clients contacted us just before the expiration of the statute of limitations for car accident cases in Michigan, which is three years from the date of the accident. Had they waited any longer, there claims would have been destroyed. The lawsuit was filed in the Ingham County Circuit Court.
The wife suffered lacerations to her knee and other injuries, including cellulitis and acquired lympedema. She requires the use of a Lympa Press every day, seven days a week, and this takes up to two hours everyday. She received a settlement for the insurance policy limits of $100,000 of the negligent driver.
The husband suffered a right knee sprain and a fracture of the metatarsal bone on his left foot. He missed approximately six weeks from work. He received a settlement of $20,000.00 for his injuries.
The clients were very smart and helped their own case by taking photographs of the damage to their vehicle after the accident. They also took photographs of their injuries and bruising after accident and this was essential to helping their settlement awards. Fortunately, they called our office just in time so that we could get their lawsuit filed.
