A Family in Trouble

Deborah, was driving down a residential street with her child when a car t-boned them and spun the car. Deborah suffered injuries to her shoulder, while her daughter fortunately came out safe and sound.

Doing Everything Right

Following the accident, Deborah saw a chiropractor for months without any relief to her shoulder pain, so returned to the hospital. Ultimately, Deborah went in for surgery and physical therapy, and the pain in her shoulder got to a point where she could tolerate it.

Driving While Anxious

Life after the injury was very different. Deborah suffered anxiety anytime she was in a car, and that impacted the long drives she and her husband loved to take. Physically, Deborah never regained full use of her shoulder; she now has to be mindful of lifting items and playing with her daughter.

Doing What it Takes to Win

At first the defense offered an initial settlement of $100,000 but Stefanie knew that Deborah deserved more, so we prepared for trial. While we prepared, the defense continued to push their offer, but we stood strong until they met Deborah’s demands. We settled for $300,000, enough to help Deborah get back on her feet and be the mom her daughter deserves.
