Pedestrian Accident – Hit by Vehicle in Crosswalk

Our client was severely injured in a car accident as she was walking to work. She crossed at a pedestrian crosswalk, when the defendant, making a left turn in his vehicle, hit her. She sustained severe injuries including two broken knees, a broken elbow, and torn ligaments. The defendant’s insurer unreasonably refused to fairly compensate our client for her injuries, arguing they were not severe and that she was going to retire from her job of 20 years, regardless of the accident. The defendant’s insurer forwarded these arguments, despite the existence of x-rays and MRI’s proving our client’s injuries and the evidence of the employer who stated that she was not retiring.  With the assistance of Cariati Law, our client was able to obtain a very significant damages and future loss of income award.
