Recently, d’Oliveira and Associates, Attorney Heather Spellman obtained a $200,000 settlement for our Rhode Island client, who was injured in an automobile accident in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Our client was traveling in the left lane heading north on route 1 in Foxborough, MA., when a vehicle in the right lane attempted to make a U-turn, and cut in front of our client’s vehicle, causing the collision. Our client suffered serious injuries, including right shoulder pain, bruising to her chest, chest pain, neck pain and anxiety. A later MRI revealed a partial tear of the shoulder tendon and she would need to undergo right shoulder rotator cuff surgery.
Attorney Heather Spellman stated, “Another driver suddenly cut across our client’s lane without warning, clearly causing the collision. Our client suffered a severe shoulder injury requiring surgery, followed by extensive rehabilitation, ongoing medical treatment, significant lost wages, and a loss of future earning capacity. Despite clear liability and substantial damages, the insurance company delayed and delayed and undervalued the claim. When fair compensation was not offered, we did what insurance companies often hope lawyers won’t do – we filed suit and aggressively litigated the case. Once litigation began, liability was never seriously disputed. With pressure applied and the evidence fully developed, the carrier ultimately paid more than four times its last pre-suit offer, resulting in a settlement that truly reflected the value of our client’s injuries and losses. Our client remained patient throughout the process and was extremely pleased with the outcome. This case is a clear example of why having experienced trial lawyers matters. Insurance companies often use delay and lowball tactics – but when you’re willing to fight, prepare, and take a case to court, results follow. If you or a loved one has been injured and feel like the insurance company isn’t playing fair, we’re here to help.”
