Attorney Joseph Alguzzeh has secured a $425,000 settlement for a client who was injured in a serious motor vehicle collision.
The client was struck on the front passenger side of his vehicle, resulting in severe damage to his car. He was transported to the emergency room following the accident to receive initial treatment for his injuries. The client had complaints of back, neck, and shoulder pain.
Following his emergency room visit, the client continued medical treatment with a pain management specialist. He underwent extensive care including multiple rounds of physical therapy. He also received several electromyography (EMG) tests to evaluate nerve damage and determine the underlying cause of his persistent pain and symptoms.
Due to the pain he was experiencing, the client was unable to work. The excruciating pain prevented him from accomplishing daily tasks including walking, running, cleaning, etc.
Ultimately, the medical specialists diagnosed the client with nerve compression that required surgery. The nerve decompression surgery alleviated pressure and pain off the client’s nerves.
After the collision, the client sought legal representation and met with The Illinois Hammer team to discuss his case.
The initial at-fault driver’s policy was determined with limits of $250,000. However, through further investigation, Attorney Alguzzeh and the legal team discovered an additional umbrella policy that significantly increased the available coverage.
By leveraging the full available coverage and diligently advocating for his client, Attorney Alguzzeh successfully negotiated a $425,000 settlement.
Attorney Alguzzeh shares:
“It’s a sense of accomplishment that I can be proud that I helped someone when they needed it most. It took months to get the insurance company to get back to me on the demand we sent out. Nevertheless, I was able to get through to someone at the insurance company and I was able to get the offer up to where we finally did right by the client.”
With this settlement secured, the client has the financial support he needs to address his medical expenses, ongoing recovery needs, and the impact the collision has had on his life.
