Mulvey Law Settles Claim For Auto Accident Victim

Client was injured in a car accident while she operating her vehicle in Dover, NH.  The defendant failed to yield the right-of-way and struck client's vehicle. Client was wearing her seatbelt, but the impact caused her to be forcefully thrown from right to left and she struck her left shoulder and head against the driver’s side window. After the police arrived, client was transported to Wentworth Douglass Hospital.

Client experienced neck and shoulder pain immediately. As a result of the impact, she sustained facial and head bruising, which worsened over the days following the accident. As the week went by, client began having headaches and significant shoulder and neck pain, which interfered with her sleep. She was diagnosed with a cervical strain with some spinomechanical dysfunction, likely the product of the whiplash injury that was caused by the motor vehicle accident. Her medical costs were $11,976.

Initially, the insurance company asserted that the injuries claimed by Plaintiff were overstated and only offered $15,000 to settle the claim. However, after Mulvey Law put together the demand package, the case settled for $32,000 prior to filing suit.
