$250,000 Settlement for Car Wreck in Kansas City, Missouri
At Foster Wallace, we recently secured a $250,000 settlement for a 63-year-old client who was injured in a December 2022 rear-end collision in Kansas City, Missouri. Our client was rear-ended, but at the time of the crash, police were not called. Believing she was okay; she drove herself to the hospital later that day due to concerns related to a recent surgery and wound dehiscence. While she initially sought treatment for surgical complications, she did not report back pain until months later, which the insurance company later used to downplay her injuries.
Overcoming the Insurance Company’s Low Offer
When she eventually sought medical care for her back injuries, the insurance company argued that the delay in treatment weakened her claim and initially offered only $75,000—far less than what she deserved.
Understanding the importance of proving causation and the true extent of her injuries, our legal team hired multiple experts, including a wound doctor to support her claim. Armed with strong evidence and expert testimony, we successfully secured the full policy limits of $250,000.
This settlement not only covered our client’s medical expenses and pain and suffering, but it also provided financial security as she continued her recovery.
At Foster Wallace, we know that insurance companies often undervalue claims—especially when there are gaps in treatment or pre-existing conditions. However, with the right legal strategy and expert support, we fight to ensure our clients receive the compensation they truly deserve.
