We are proud to announce a recent $800,000 personal injury settlement attorney
Michael O’Connor obtained on behalf of his client, who was struck by a vehicle in
a parking lot.
The Incident
Our client was walking through a commercial parking lot when a driver struck
them at low speed. Although the vehicle was not traveling fast, the impact was
significant enough to cause a serious injury. Parking lots are often
underestimated as low-risk environments, but even slow-moving vehicles can
cause devastating harm to pedestrians.
The Injury
As a result of the collision, our client suffered a broken leg. Fortunately, surgery
was not required. However, the injury was far from minor:
- Extensive medical treatment
- Immobilization and rehabilitation
- Significant pain and discomfort
- Loss of mobility and independence during recovery
- Time away family and daily activities
Even without surgical intervention, a fractured leg can have long-lasting physical
and emotional consequences. Our client faced months of recovery and disruption
to their life.
Building the Case
From the beginning, we focused on demonstrating:
- The driver’s negligence in failing to operate the vehicle safely in a pedestrian-
heavy area - The seriousness of the injury despite the “low-speed” nature of the impact
- The full extent of our client’s medical expenses and pain and suffering
- The long-term effects on our client’s quality of life
Insurance companies often attempt to minimize injuries that occur at low speeds.
We worked diligently to ensure the true impact of the injury was fully understood
and properly valued.
The Result: $800,000 Settlement
Through aggressive advocacy and thorough preparation, we secured an
$800,000 settlement for our client. This recovery provides compensation for:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.
This result reflects our commitment to treating every case seriously — regardless
of how the incident initially appears.
