Despite months of medical treatment and numerous negotiations with the insurance carrier she was extended an unjust settlement offer well below her compensatory damages. • What are Compensatory Damages?: http://dianalegal.com/personal-injury-personal-injury-damages-compensatory-damages/ • Compensatory Damages in a Personal Injury Action: http://dianalegal.com/personal-injury-damages-compensatory-damages-for-personal-injuries/ In early 2018 our client was rear-ended by an uninsured motorist. Following the collision our client suffered from lumbar pain and cervical strain that triggered chronic headaches. After several months of medical treatment our client attempted to resolve her personal injury claim / uninsured motorist claim without an attorney. Despite her best efforts our self-represented client could not get a settlement offer over $1,500, which was unjust and well below compensatory damages. After spending months of time, energy and resources battling her insurance carrier she reached out to our offices and asked: “Do I need an Attorney?” and “Why a Lawyer?” After a brief consultation we were retained and an uninsured motorist claim was initiated. Following several months of litigation the UM case settled for $72,500, fairly compensating our client for her injuries.

CAR ACCIDENT I RIDESHARE ACCIDENT I UBER I LYFT I PERSONAL INJURY SETTLEMENT I CASE RESULTS – $100,000 Settlement, Initial Offer Without Legal Representation $0 – Wrongful Denial of Coverage [Do I need an attorney?] [Why a lawyer?]
January 14, 2020
Following a LYFT or UBER car accident injured parties often ask themselves:
| Injury/Claim | Settlement Offer without an Attorney | Settlement after we were Retained |
| Cervical Sprain Numbness in arms | $ 0 (Wrongful Denial of Coverage) | $ 100,000.00 (One Hundred Thousand USD) |
Most recently our offices settled a Rideshare Accident claim for $100,000. Prior to our involvement the self-represented client was wrongfully denied coverage and offered $0. After months of crippling pain, no progress with the rideshare company and no medical insurance to cover her necessary treatments, the unrepresented accident victim, reached out to our offices and retained our personal injury services.
In 2018 our client, while a passenger in a rideshare vehicle, was T-boned and sustained serious injuries in the car accident. As a result of the collision our client suffered from severe cervical strain that triggered neurological symptoms. Specifically after utilizing her arms for a long duration of time and/or standing on her feet for over 3 hours she would experience numbness and weakness in her hands. Ultimately the client underwent several rounds of facet joint injections, steroid injections and acupuncture treatment; with time the neurological symptoms subsided. After regaining full use of her arms and cervical spine, she was justly compensated for her injuries.
