Recently, Mulvey Law negotiated a $70,000 settlement for a client that was injured in a car accident. The Client was injured when he was struck by a plow truck. The force of the collision caused trauma to the client's head and resulted in a retinal detachment in the client's right eye.
Initially, the insurance company attempted to argue that the retinal detachment was not a result of the accident but was the result of a pre-existing condition. Mulvey Law employed the services of a medical expert who concluded that the retinal detachment was, in fact, related to the motor vehicle accident. Based on that expert opinion, Mulvey Law was able to force the insurance company to pay for the medical bills associated with fixing the client's eye injury along with the pain and suffering associated with the injury.
In the end, the client walked away with a favorable settlement because the experienced personal injury attorneys at Mulvey Law were able to present a case to the insurance company that compelled them to make a substantial offer or run the risk of a large verdict if the case went to trial.
