When someone is seriously injured because of another party’s negligence, the physical, emotional, and financial consequences can be overwhelming. Medical bills pile up, time away from work creates stress, and the long road to recovery can feel uncertain. At McMinn Personal Injury Lawyers, our goal is to shoulder that legal burden so our clients can focus on healing.
While every case is unique and past results do not guarantee future outcomes, recent settlements obtained by our firm highlight how thorough investigation, skilled negotiation, and a willingness to take cases seriously can make a meaningful difference for injured individuals and families.
$2.5 Million Crosswalk Collision Settlement
In one particularly devastating case, a mother was struck while lawfully crossing the street in a marked crosswalk, holding her young daughter in her arms. The vehicle involved was a company-owned truck. The impact caused serious neck injuries to the mother and injuries to the child’s head and knee.
This case required careful handling due to the involvement of a commercial vehicle and a minor child. Our team worked diligently to demonstrate liability and the long-term implications of the injuries. The result was a $2.5 million settlement, providing critical financial support for ongoing medical care and future needs.
$1.2 Million Intersection Crash With Disputed Liability
Another client was severely injured after being T-boned in an intersection by a company truck. The defense denied responsibility, claiming the driver was not at fault. Rather than accept those claims at face value, our firm retained a traffic light sequence expert to reconstruct the incident.
That expert analysis played a crucial role in proving fault. The client suffered significant shoulder injuries that ultimately required surgery. Through persistence and evidence-driven advocacy, we secured a $1.2 million settlement despite the initial denial of liability.
$700,000 Settlement for Aggravated Pre-Existing Back Injury
Insurance companies often argue that injuries are unrelated to a collision if a person has a prior medical history. In this rear-end collision involving a company truck, the injured individual had a pre-existing lower back condition that was significantly aggravated by the crash.
We demonstrated how the collision worsened the condition, leading to increased pain, treatment, and limitations. The case resolved for $700,000, reinforcing that aggravation of a pre-existing injury is still fully compensable under the law.
$855,000 Golf Cart Accident Head Injury Case
Not all serious injury cases involve traditional motor vehicles. In one matter, a client was thrown from a golf cart in a parking lot, suffering a traumatic head injury. These cases can be complex, particularly when multiple parties or unclear safety practices are involved.
By carefully analyzing the circumstances and documenting the severity of the injury, our firm obtained an $855,000 settlement to help cover medical care, rehabilitation, and the lasting effects of the head trauma.
$900,000 Settlement for Shoulder Injury Requiring Surgery
In another intersection collision, a client was T-boned and suffered an aggravated shoulder injury. Although the client had a pre-existing shoulder issue, the crash significantly worsened the condition and ultimately led to surgery.
We made sure the focus remained on how the collision changed our client’s quality of life and medical outlook. The case resulted in a $900,000 settlement, reflecting the seriousness of aggravated injuries and their long-term consequences.
$750,000 Premises Liability Burn Injury Case
Personal injury claims extend beyond vehicle accidents. In a premises liability case, a client tripped and fell into a fire pit at a private residence, sustaining second-degree burns to her back. Burn injuries are especially painful and can require extensive treatment and recovery.
Through careful presentation of liability and damages, we secured a $750,000 settlement to address both the physical and emotional impact of the injuries.
