Rear-end collisions are among the most common types of motor vehicle accidents, yet the physical and financial toll they take on victims can be devastating. At Morici, Longo & Associates, we dedicatedly represent those who have suffered a motor vehicle accident personal injury due to the negligence of distracted drivers.
In a recent success, Morici, Longo & Associates Trial Lawyer Brian S. Shallcross successfully concluded litigation on behalf of a 42-year-old woman who was involved in a violent rear-end collision. The crash occurred at a high rate of speed on an Illinois Interstate Tollway when a distracted driver struck her vehicle from behind.
Significant Injuries from High-Speed Impacts
The force of the impact resulted in serious physical trauma. The victim suffered a herniated disc in her cervical spine, along with neck strain, back strain, and various other soft tissue injuries. While every case is unique, our firm understands how to effectively value these injuries to ensure our clients receive the maximum compensation possible.
Achieving a Just Result Without Surgery
Although the client in this case did not require surgery, the road to recovery was still intensive, requiring several weeks of physical therapy and specialized medical attention. Despite the defense's attempts to minimize the impact of soft tissue injuries, Brian S. Shallcross secured a $400,000 settlement to cover her medical expenses, pain, and suffering.
