In late June 2018, the Plaintiff was involved in a motor vehicle collision wherein her vehicle was struck on the drivers’ side at an intersection in Fall River, MA. She was extricated from her vehicle and transported to St. Anne’s Hospital where she was diagnosed with multiple rib fractures and a presumed aortic injury based on initial CT scan and mechanism of injury. She was transferred to R.I. Hospital for further management of aortic injury that was ultimately an incidental finding of a heart issue that was unrelated to the collision. The Plaintiff retained Attorney Nelia DeStefano from the Law Offices of Brian Cunha & Associates and settled the case for a favorable amount.
