FROM SELF-REPRESENTATION TO LEGAL SUCCESS — Jane’s Journey to a Fair Settlement
We helped our client, Jane, achieve a significant settlement on behalf of her mother, who suffered severe injuries in a crash involving a rented box truck. This case presented unique challenges: Her mother’s dementia, her subsequent death before the case concluded, and Jane’s initial solo battle against the truck’s insurance company. For over a year, Jane represented herself against the insurance company’s lawyer. She almost settled for $60,000, but she had doubts about the fairness of this offer and sought our legal expertise. The accident occurred on April 19, 2021, when Jane’s sister and mother collided with a Penske box truck that had ignored a stop sign on Hwy 101 near Spartanburg. The crash was severe enough to require hospitalization for Jane’s mother, who suffered multiple rib fractures and other serious injuries that required ICU treatment. Our firm recognized that the initial settlement offer significantly undervalued the physical and emotional toll on Jane’s mother and decided to take the case. After a detailed case evaluation, we renegotiated, focusing on the comprehensive impact of the injuries sustained. We were able to increase the settlement by 50% to $90,000! This case wasn’t easy — it required careful navigation of complex issues, including the representation of a client who could not communicate due to dementia and ensuring her daughters’
observations and experiences were adequately conveyed. The settlement also required court approval due to the mother’s incapacitation and subsequent death. We tailored our approach to ensure Jane’s mother’s interests were fully represented, reflecting the true extent of her suffering and the ongoing impact on her family. This case is just one example of the importance of professional legal guidance, particularly when navigating the intricate dynamics of personal injury law and family trauma.
