The case highlights the severe consequences of reckless driving and the importance of adhering to traffic laws. Through diligent legal representation and expert testimony, our client was able to secure a $932,000 settlement to cover her medical expenses and ongoing treatment needs, reflecting the seriousness of the injuries sustained and the defendant’s clear negligence.
