A New Bedford resident recently received a $100,000 settlement after suffering serious injuries from a car accident, thanks to the efforts of Attorney Heather M. Spellman, a New Bedford car accident lawyer at d’Oliveira & Associates. Our client was traveling in the right-of-way when another vehicle ran a stop sign and crashed into the passenger side of our client’s car.
We clearly demonstrated the other driver’s liability. Our client required extensive medical treatment. Our client’s medical bills were nearly $60,000, and his treating doctors documented a worsening condition directly resulting from the crash. Despite the complexity of the case, our legal team built a strong case demonstrating that the accident caused measurable and lasting harm.
Attorney Heather M. Spellman successfully negotiated the full bodily injury policy limits of $100,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. In addition to this recovery, our client also received $8,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) benefits. Our team worked to ensure that all medical bills and liens were resolved so the client received the maximum possible net recovery.
“Because our client had undergone delicate brain surgery just weeks before the collision, we were able to compare imaging taken before the crash with imaging obtained afterward,” Attorney Spellman said. “That comparison objectively demonstrated worsening swelling in his brain, which ultimately allowed us to recover the available policy limits.”
