Personal Injury Attorney and Managing Partner David Rabinowitz acquired a settlement of $800,000 for a client who suffered severe injuries in a motor vehicle collision.
The client was driving across a two-lane bridge when another driver suddenly crossed into their lane, causing a devastating accident. As a result of the collision, the client sustained significant injuries, including a fractured collarbone and a fractured tibia.
The client underwent an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the left clavicle fracture and ORIF of the right tibial plateau fracture. This surgical procedure repairs and realigns complex bone fractures using internal implants including metal plates, screws, and rods. Through continued treatment and aided by a prior knee construction surgery, the client has recovered from the pain caused by this accident.
Before a lawsuit was filed, the defendant was offered $550,000 to resolve this case. After receiving this low settlement offer from the insurance adjuster, Attorney David Rabinowitz pressed forward with the case and fought for the full compensation his client deserved. Filing the lawsuit put the idea of a substantial verdict into the insurance company’s mind. After a few conversations with the insurance company’s attorney, the insurance company tendered the exact amount demanded without the need to go to trial.
Through litigation and continued advocacy, Attorney David Rabinowitz was able to successfully secure an $800,000 settlement. This was an increase of $250,000 over the defendant’s pre-suit offer.
Attorney Rabinowitz reflects:
“We stand behind our clients and we will fight until we have achieved the result that they deserve.”
This settlement underscores the importance of thorough case preparation and a willingness to pursue litigation when necessary. Through persistent legal efforts, Attorney David Rabinowitz secured a recovery that provided meaningful compensation for the client’s injuries and ongoing recovery.
