The driver of the automobile disregarded a red light causing a major series of automobile collisions. Our client sustained significant injuries and required emergency transport to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Comments from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/about\/joseph-r-morrison-attorney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Attorney Joseph Morrison<\/a>:<\/strong> We\u2019re not a volume injury law firm. We keep our workload to a manageable level so that every client gets the attention his or her case deserves. One of our strengths is that we can quickly adapt to the unique facts of each claim.<\/p>\n<p>On this particular case I knew multiple people had been injured in the car wreck. To protect the client I needed to quickly demand the policy limits, which I did on the same day his file touched my desk. I submitted a Stowers demand utilizing the client\u2019s hospital discharge records and photographs of his injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The liability carrier for the negligent driver responded to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/articles\/how-we-write-demand-letters-to-maximize-compensation\/\">Stowers demand<\/a> by offering the full policy limits. In addition, we were able to locate an insurance policy on the vehicle involved in the car accident, and that carrier also agreed to tender its limits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember:<\/strong> It is important that you work with auto accident attorneys that have the time and resources to identify all possible sources of recovery on your case.<\/p>\n<p>The client had suffered significant injuries and his medical bills alone were in excess of the available policy limits. I went to work negotiating with the hospital and other emergency medical providers to secure reductions of their respective bills.<\/p>\n<p>I was eventually able to get his medical bills reduced by more than 50%. As a result our client was able to walk away from the accident with zero medical debt as well as funds to compensate him for the injuries he sustained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Remember:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/\">Mullen &amp; Mullen Law Firm<\/a> routinely get hospital bills reduced, even if the facility has filed a lien on the case. In addition, we routinely secure health insurance lien reductions for clients.<\/p>\n<p>The settlement for this claim involving a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/settlements\/broken-bones\/\">broken bone<\/a> as a result of an auto collision in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/the-colony-tx\/\">The Colony, TX<\/a> was $132,500. Attorney fees were $30,000. Case expenses were $103.31. After paying medical providers, the client\u2019s net recovery was $30,000. This is an outstanding result for this personal injury claim given the substantial medical bills he incurred undergoing emergency surgery.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading --><\/p>\n<h2>More Case Studies About Bone Fracture Settlements<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:list --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul><!-- wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/settlements\/broken-bones\/calcaneal-fracture-dallas-tx-574k\/\">$574,000 Settlement for calcaneal fracture in Dallas, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><!-- \/wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/settlements\/broken-bones\/ankle-forney-tx-300k\/\">$300,000 Settlement for broken ankle in Forney, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/settlements\/broken-bones\/fractured-clavicle-frisco-tx-132k\/\">$132,500 Settlement for fractured clavicle in Frisco, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/settlements\/broken-bones\/toe-fracture-dallas-tx-123k\/\">$123,500 Settlement for toe stress fracture in Dallas, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list-item --><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mullenandmullen.com\/personal-injury-lawyer\/settlements\/broken-bones\/ankle-contusion-allen-tx-23k\/\">$23,000 Settlement for ankle bone contusion in Allen, TX<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:image {\"align\":\"left\",\"id\":3644,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbf470d e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cbf470d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;_ob_use_container_extras&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_column_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_glider_is_slider&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_column_has_pseudo&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-39622e2 ob-has-background-overlay elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"39622e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ob_spacerat_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_widget_stalker_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_poopart_use&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;_ob_shadough_use&quot;:&quot;no&quot;,&quot;_ob_allow_hoveranimator&quot;:&quot;no&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
