Our firm successfully secured a $50,000 settlement—consisting of $25,000 from the bodily injury carrier and an additional $25,000 through underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage—for a client injured in a T-bone collision at a New Jersey intersection.
The incident occurred on May 8, 2024, when our client was lawfully stopped at a red light and proceeded through the intersection after receiving a green signal. At that moment, another driver unlawfully entered the intersection against a red light and struck our client’s vehicle from the side. The police report confirmed the violation, noting that the at-fault driver admitted to entering the intersection after the light had already turned red.
The impact caused significant front-end damage to our client’s vehicle and produced a forceful jolt that resulted in whiplash-type trauma, headaches, and pain throughout the cervical and lumbar spine. These injuries required medical evaluation, ongoing treatment, and rehabilitative care.
Through diligent advocacy and strategic coordination between the bodily injury and UIM policies, our legal team successfully obtained the full available limits—$50,000 in total compensation—to address our client’s injuries, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
This case underscores how another driver’s unlawful and careless actions at an intersection can cause serious and lasting injuries to innocent motorists. Our firm remains dedicated to holding negligent drivers accountable and ensuring that injury victims receive full and fair compensation.
