Our client suffered multiple serious injuries including bilateral hand injuries with multiple metacarpal fractures which required surgical intervention. Medical expenses exceeded $80,000. The motor vehicle crash was caused by a commercial tractor trailer towing a tandem trailer that stopped the trailer partially in the travel lane of a state highway and failed to place lighted fuses behind the trailer, alerting motorists to the trailer. The tortfeasor’s insurer initially offered $25,000 in settlement of our client’s personal injury claim, which was rejected. Civil suit was filed in the Superior Court and discovery was in progress, including the deposition of the commercial tractor trailer driver. Ultimately, the insurer offered to attend mediation.
