Our 21-year-old client suffered devastating injuries when another driver crossed the double yellow line and struck her vehicle head-on. The crash caused a severe compound fracture of her right ankle that ultimately required fusion, leaving her unable to bend the ankle.
Despite the seriousness of the crash, the defense disputed responsibility and the extent of our client’s injuries throughout much of the case. The highest offer made before trial was just $10,000.
Brooks Law Group filed a lawsuit, conducted depositions, worked with our client’s doctors, and prepared the case for trial. After hearing the evidence, the jury returned a $969,000 verdict for our client.
The verdict reflected a result far beyond what had been offered before trial and gave our client the opportunity to hold the responsible party accountable after an injury that permanently changed her life.
