Rear end car accident

Recently, d’Oliveira & Associates Attorney Heather Spellman obtained a $150,000 settlement for a Wareham, MA driver who was rear-ended while stopped at a stop sign. As a result of the accident, our client required spinal surgery, suffered pain in her hands and legs, and was unable to work.

Attorney Heather Spellman stated, “Insurance companies love to characterize rear-end collisions as “minor,” especially when the damage to the vehicle looks minimal. But pain does not always show up on a bumper, and no two bodies respond to trauma in the same way. That was the case in a recent hard-fought settlement we secured for our client of $150,000. The insurance company pointed to the limited vehicle damage and exploited the fact that our client had a long history of medical issues, including a pre-existing spinal condition. They argued that the injuries and surgery that followed had nothing to do with her accident. They underestimated us. We fought through layers of medical records, worked closely with our client’s treating physicians, and built a clear timeline that connected the dots between the crash and our client’s worsening condition. The result proved to be a six-figure settlement in a case the insurance company said had little to no value. We didn’t back down, and we never do. If you have been injured and the insurance company is working against you, call us. We know how to fight, and more importantly, we know how to win.”
