CAG secured a $950,000 global settlement for a mother and her two daughters injured in a rideshare rear-end collision in Los Angeles. Despite disputes, our team proved the injuries and treatment were necessary and recovered full compensation.
Plaintiff-1, a 26 year old female at the time of the subject accident, along with her 9 year old daughter, Plaintiff-2, and 5 year old daughter, Plaintiff-3, were passengers in Defendants’ ride-share vehicle; during which time, the Defendant driver, who at the time was not paying attention to the traffic ahead of him, precipitated a very severe rear-end collision with another vehicle.
The intensity of the impact has caused Plaintiffs thousands of dollars in personal damages. It is manifested that the Defendant took no attention to his speed or the traffic ahead of him, thereby precipitating a collision with Plaintiffs’ vehicle. The Defendant was operating the vehicle in such a reckless manner, in violation of the following California Vehicle Codes: 21703 – “The driver of a motor vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard for the speed of such vehicle and the traffic upon, and the condition of, the roadway.” 22350 – “No person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property.” 23103 – “(a). A person who drives a vehicle upon a highway in a willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving.”
As a result of her automobile accident, Plaintiff-1 suffered from injuries to her head, neck, upper back, middle back, lower back, right shoulder, right arm, right elbow, abdomen, chest, and pelvis, along with post-traumatic stress. Plaintiff-1’s injuries were significant enough to incur $305,000 in medical expenses. Plaintiff-1 required a right shoulder surgery, to where she now has ongoing sporadic right shoulder pain, for which she will require intermittent chiropractic and physical therapy treatment in the future, along with psychological consultations.
As a result of her automobile accident, Plaintiff-2 suffered from injuries to neck, upper back, middle back, lower back, abdomen, pelvis, and right arm, along with post-traumatic stress. Plaintiff-2’s injuries were significant enough to incur $43,000 in medical expenses. Plaintiff-2 required chiropractic treatment, and she will require intermittent chiropractic and physical therapy treatment in the future, along with psychological consultations.
As a result of her automobile accident, Plaintiff-3 suffered from injuries to neck, upper back, middle back, lower back, abdomen, and bilateral hip, and right arm, along with post-traumatic stress. Plaintiff-2’s injuries were significant enough to incur $40,000 in medical expenses. Plaintiff-3 required chiropractic treatment, and she will require intermittent chiropractic and physical therapy treatment in the future, along with psychological consultations.
Defendants disputed Plaintiffs’ claims for injuries and damages. Defendants also disputed the reasonableness and necessity of Plaintiffs’ medical treatment. However, through the testimony of expert doctors, it was determined that Plaintiffs’ injuries and treatment were reasonable and necessary, considering the severity of the impact. Messrs. Khakshooy and Agarwal were able to recover a global settlement of $950,000 for Plaintiffs.
