$545,000 - Multiple Injuries Caused by Head-On Collision

Derek was driving home when Mr. Johnson’s Ford truck crossed the centerline and crashed into him. Derek was transported to the hospital where he was treated for a fractured forearm, fractured fibula, hip dislocation and broken ribs. Derek had no health insurance and was extremely concerned about how he would pay the large medical bills. Attorney Bill Coats was able to obtain a prompt settlement for $545,000, and was also able to convince all of Derek’s medical providers with outstanding bills to accept a reduced amount so that Derek could pay off all his bills while keeping more of the settlement proceeds.
