The at-fault party ran a red light and an independent witness confirmed liability. The police report associated with the car wreck assigned 100% responsibility to the at-fault driver.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The client was evaluated at CareNow in Coppell, TX the day after the motor vehicle collision. Our law firm assisted him in obtaining the necessary additional medical treatment he required to recover from the injuries he sustained in the car accident. His injuries were primarily the result of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/settlements\/whiplash\/\">whiplash<\/a>. He had sprain\/strain injuries to neck, left shoulder, and back. He also sustained a forehead bruise that quickly healed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember:<\/strong>\u00a0 Objective evidence of injury is important in the context of a Texas personal injury claim in that an award of at least some amount of non-economic damages is essentially required if objective evidence of injury is present. The client\u2019s forehead bruise \u2013 while temporary in nature \u2013 constituted objective evidence of injury.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Senior Associate\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/about\/joseph-r-morrison-attorney\/\">Attorney Joseph Morrison<\/a>\u00a0submitted a settlement demand when the client concluded his treatment. He was able to convince the liability insurance company for the at-fault driver that caused the wreck to offer $11,000.00 \u2013 even though recoverable past medical expenses associated with his care were only $5,596.20.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Comments From Attorney Joseph Morrison<\/strong>:\u00a0 This case worked out very well for the client. We recovered $3,948.00 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) proceeds from our client\u2019s insurance carrier in addition to the $11,000.00 offered by the at-fault driver\u2019s carrier. The gross recovery of $14,948 in proceeds was just shy of three times the client\u2019s past medical expenses.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>I made sure the liability adjuster on the file knew that the bruise the client sustained in the car wreck constituted objective evidence of injury and that a jury would essentially be required to award at least some amount of non-economic damages. At the end of the day the client had only $5,596.20 in medical bills but had a net recovery in his pocket of $8,048.34. I was really happy for him.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/faq\/what-is-pip-insurance-and-should-i-have-it\/\">Personal Injury Protection (PIP)<\/a>\u00a0is a no-fault insurance coverage you can add to your motor vehicle insurance policy to reimburse you at least a portion of medical expenses and lost wages incurred in a motor vehicle collision. It is relatively inexpensive to add it to your policy and our personal injury law firm highly recommends you do so.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The settlement for this claim involving whiplash as a result of a in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/coppell-tx\/\">car wreck in Coppell, TX<\/a>\u00a0was $14,948. Attorney fees were $4,185.44. Case expenses were $237.02. After paying medical providers, the client\u2019s net recovery was $8,048.34.
