Injured Leg from a New Bedford MA Pedestrian Accident

Recently, d’Oliveira & Associates’ attorney D. Robin Gouveia worked with co-counsel to obtain a $950,000 settlement from Bedievere Insurance Company. Our client was a pedestrian walking in a cross-walk with all traffic stopped when a truck failed to slow and hit her. She sustained serious life-threatening injuries and is lucky to be alive today.

Attorney Robin D. Gouveia stated that,

Due to the complexity of this case, co-counsel from our referral network was retained and we worked together to process and resolve this matter in a timely and efficient fashion. The matter came to us from a prior attorney. Shortly after the pretrial conference, the parties brought the case to mediation. Liability was heavily contested, however, it was ultimately conceded during the mediation session.”

Being hit by a truck or SUV versus a four-door sedan, makes pedestrian death twice as likely.
