A San Jose red-light crash changed our client’s life in a matter of seconds.
Our client was driving northbound on North 1st Street near Technology Place in San Jose when the light turned green. After waiting for a box truck to clear the intersection, he proceeded forward, only to be violently broadsided by a driver who ran a red light.
What followed was far more serious than a typical “neck pain” claim.
Our client was transported by ambulance to Kaiser Santa Clara, where imaging revealed a serious cervical fracture with worsening instability and spinal cord risk. He ultimately underwent major cervical spine surgery. His recovery became even more dangerous when he suffered respiratory failure after surgery, required re-intubation, and was admitted to the ICU. Medical expenses exceeded $264,000, with future medical care still anticipated.
This case mattered because the injuries affected nearly every part of his life. He was restricted from lifting, bending, and twisting. He needed a cervical collar, physical therapy, home health care, and follow-up imaging. He also missed work as a quality engineer while recovering from cervical spine surgery.
This was not a case where the insurance company quickly agreed to pay policy limits.
Solution Now Law Firm prepared an aggressive policy-limits demand package documenting the clear liability, emergency treatment at Kaiser Santa Clara, spine surgery, ICU complications, wage loss, future medical concerns, and the long-term impact these injuries had on our client’s daily life. After extensive negotiations and continued pressure against the insurance carrier, we successfully obtained the full policy limits settlement for our client.
Case resolved for: $1,250,000.00
