$140,000 Settlement for Client Injured in Rear-End Collision on US 50 in Johnson County, Missouri
At Foster Wallace Personal Injury Lawyers, we helped our client secure a $140,000 settlement following a serious rear-end car crash on a major Missouri highway.
The Accident: Rear-End Crash During Lawful Left Turn
In January 2024, our client was traveling eastbound on US 50 in Johnson County, Missouri, approaching a crossover near Northwest 475 Road. As she slowed her vehicle and signaled to make a lawful left turn, the driver behind her failed to stop in time and violently rear-ended her car.
The force of the crash caused major damage to her vehicle and left her with significant injuries requiring ongoing treatment and pain management.
Injuries and Medical Treatment
Our client suffered both neurological and orthopedic injuries as a result of the crash, including:
✔ Concussion with post-concussive symptoms
✔ Herniated cervical discs
✔ Cervical radiculopathy
✔ Multiple spinal segmental dysfunctions
✔ Chest wall contusion and chronic headaches
✔ Right knee pain and cervical spine strain
She underwent an interlaminar epidural steroid injection at the C7-T1 level to alleviate severe neck and nerve pain, and was also treated for lingering symptoms from her concussion.
Despite the challenges of her recovery, our client remained focused on healing and working toward a return to normal life.
Settlement and Case Resolution
The at-fault driver’s insurer initially questioned the extent of our client’s injuries. However, after presenting clear medical documentation and the impact the injuries had on her quality of life, our legal team successfully negotiated a $140,000 settlement. This recovery provided essential support for medical bills, physical therapy, pain and suffering, and other damages.
