Our client, a young man just starting his career in the construction trades, was stopped at a light in Spring Hill, Kansas, when a truck exited the highway, ran a stop light, and crashed into his vehicle. He was taken to a local hospital by EMT, and he was diagnosed with relatively minor injuries, including a concussion.
While his initial diagnosis did not appear serious, his symptoms did not improve with time. He began experiencing ongoing physical and emotional conditions consistent with post-concussion syndrome. Although a standard MRI appeared normal, we retained an expert and assisted our client in obtaining a more specialized MRI, which revealed evidence of a brain injury.
When the insurance company refused to make a fair offer before suit, our firm initiated suit in Johnson County District Court. We retained additional medical experts to support our client’s case and ensured he received the medical care he needed. After designating the findings of our experts, the insurance company tendered the full policy limits of $1 million.
This settlement helped cover our client’s medical expenses and ongoing care, giving him peace of mind as he continues to recover and move forward with his life.
The symptoms of a brain injury may initially be subtle and difficult to diagnose. For this reason, you should consider retaining an experienced brain injury attorney to handle cases involving a concussion or head injury.
