Car Crash Involving Prior Medical History
Our client was injured in a motor vehicle collision in Sarasota County. Before the collision, our client had been involved in a previous accident and had received chiropractic treatment.
The insurance carrier disputed the extent to which our client’s injuries were caused or aggravated by the more recent collision.
Disputed Medical Causation
A significant issue in the case involved our client’s prior medical history. Harris Law Group maintained that the collision aggravated our client’s pre-existing condition and caused additional injuries and damages.
The insurance carrier initially offered $11,500 to resolve the claim. When the parties were unable to reach an agreement, Harris Law Group filed a lawsuit on our client’s behalf.
Litigation and $100,000 Settlement
The case proceeded through approximately one year of litigation, including discovery and depositions.
As the case approached trial, Harris Law Group obtained a $100,000 settlement for our client.
