The Plaintiff was attempting to enter Route 1 South via the off-ramp from Route 295 North; however, she was forced to stop at the end of the off-ramp due to oncoming traffic. The Defendant whom was traveling directly behind the Plaintiff did not stop and struck the rear of Plaintiff’s vehicle.
The Plaintiff experienced pain in her teeth, tingling in her upper lip, and pain in the back of her head. She also had a band-like pain through the right side of her face down into her anterior neck, pain in her right knee and foot, low back, buttocks, and ringing in her ears. Plaintiff was diagnosed with a concussion without loss of consciousness and bilateral tinnitus (ringing in her ears). The Plaintiff underwent extensive physical and concussion therapies for her injuries and continues to suffer from ongoing tinnitus.
Without litigation we successfully obtained the Defendant’s policy limits of 100,000.00. Thereafter, we were able to negotiate an additional $15,000.00 from Plaintiff’s under-insurance coverage.
