$1,300,000 Verdict For Injured Woman Involved In Car Crash

Victoria Sandoval, a 57-year-old woman, has recently been awarded $1.3 million in damages to compensate her for lost wages, medical bills, past pain and suffering, and future pain and suffering. Here is her story:

The Accident & Injuries

Ms. Sandoval was injured when she was acting as a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over and stopped to the side of the road. The vehicle she was in was rear-ended by a drunk driver. Initially thinking that her injuries were not serious, Sandoval returned to her home that night. A few days later, after she had developed pain from the accident, she sought hospital care. There, she was x-rayed, given pain medications, and discharged.

However, the pain did not subside, and so she followed up with a chiropractor for a few months. When pain continued to persist, she sought further medical care and eventually underwent an intensive neck surgery. Since that time, she has made a slow – but positive – recovery.

Liability for Injuries

Victoria Sandoval only speaks Spanish, limiting her abilities to negotiate with an insurance adjuster on her own and potentially limiting her understanding of the insurance claim system. It is no surprise, then, that the drunk driver’s liability insurance policy – which was held in an amount of $25,0000 – refused to pay Sandoval’s claim, asserting that she was not really injured.
