In late 2024, a driver and passenger were injured in a private property collision involving a drive-thru exit. Despite insurers often disputing fault in private property accidents, both claims were successfully resolved with favorable settlements.
The driver was exiting a drive-thru when an at-fault vehicle struck the car on private property. The passenger was also inside the vehicle at the time of the collision. The facts of the incident clearly established liability.
The driver sustained neck, back, and leg injuries and received extensive medical care, including X-rays, physical therapy, emergency room follow-up care, orthopedic treatment, and multiple spinal injections. The passenger suffered neck and back injuries and underwent a hospital assessment, diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, an orthopedic evaluation, and an MRI. Although interventional treatment was recommended for the passenger, they continued with conservative care.
We thoroughly documented liability, medical evidence, and the full extent of injuries for both claimants, effectively countering insurer defenses. Through strategic negotiation, we secured a $33,000 settlement for the driver and a $28,000 settlement for the passenger.
