PERSONAL INJURY

Our client suffered in a rear-end hit and was diagnosed with a shoulder tear for which she had a surgery in the past.  She was also diagnosed with several cervical herniations but received single injection and physical therapy only. Her actual medical bills were more than $40,000 while her insurance payments were limited to $15,000.  In addition, the insurance coverage for the perpetrating driver was $25,000 and there was no other available insurance.  Our personal injury lawyers were able to reduce her medical bills by compromise by approximately $20,000.  In addition, based on a recent change in New Jersey law, we were able to convince the driver’s liability carrier to increase the limits and settle for nearly $40,000 to allow for bills that were payable at trial.
