Substantial personal injury settlement earned in Bucks County

Posted on July 28th, 2022

John stopped at a stop sign on his drive home from work. Another driver slammed into the rear of his car.

Prior to this accident, John was a hardworking, skilled tradesperson who had worked for over two-decades in his trade. But because of his accident injuries, he was out of work for months.

When John was out of work, it put significant financial strain on his family. Even though he diligently tried to return to work, the accident-related injuries simply would not allow it—he physically could not do what he could do before.

To help John and his family, we aggressively pursued John’s personal injury claim. We investigated the accident. We also made sure he received the best medical treatment and that all his bills were paid.

From the start, we prepared our case as if we were going to a jury trial—sparing no effort or expense—to make sure John would get the relief that he needed.

We gathered all medical records, and we retained the best experts to prepare reports that accompanied our organized and persuasive pre-trial settlement packages.

Our settlement packages are unlike other lawyers’ settlement packages in that we put significant work in at this early stage. We use persuasive images, medical art, and expert reports with our settlement packages. And in John’s case, we even used professional videographers to create a ‘day in the life’ video to capture how the accident injuries changed John’s life.

While our unique approach would have achieved a settlement in most cases, John’s case had two particularly tough sticking points that caused the defendant’s insurance company to persistently refuse to compensate John, even though we had proven that John was entitled to a substantial settlement.

As we got closer to trial, we continued investing time, effort, and resources to prepare John’s case. What became clear is that the defendant’s lawyer, and the defendant’s insurance company, understood we were well-prepared, were serious about securing justice for John, and that we would not give up.

Because of our approach, we ultimately achieved a substantial six-figure settlement for John and his family. Such a substantial award—whether through settlement or trial—is uncommon in Bucks County personal injury cases.

The way we practice—as we share through John’s story—is the way to win a large pre-trial settlement, i.e., show your opponent you are prepared for a jury trial and just keep working until justice is secured.

If you have been severely injured by a careless driver, you need a lawyer with experience who will invest the time, energy, and resources necessary to hold the other driver, and the other driver’s insurance company, accountable to achieve justice and proper compensation for you.
