Cherokee County Personal Injury Settlement For Over $3 Million
A pregant woman (Tameche Brown) was badly injured when a driver (Gregory Crawley) hydroplaned and struck her Honda CR-V on 04/28/08. Her injuries included an open leg fracture that required surgery. She was 7 months pregnant at the time and had to under go a c-section to deliver her child due to complications from her injuries. These injuries resulted in a Cherokee County Personal Injury claim for both Ms. Brown and her infant daughter.
When no settlement could be reached Ms. Brown filed a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of herself and her infant daughter against Mr. Crawley and the Department of Transportation (DOT) for this auto accident claim. She alleged that Mr. Crawley was driving too fast in the wet road conditions and that the DOT negligently patched the road with material that did not provide adequate traction for tires.
A settlement for $3,065,000 was reached on 10/2010 for this Cherokee County personal injury claim in which each defendant paid an equal portion.
This case is a great example of how it is very, very important to hire an experienced personal injury attorney to insure that you recover all that you deserve. In this case the personal injury lawyers successfully convinced State Farm who insured Mr. Crawley and the DOT that each had equal share in causing this tragic car wreck. If these injured victims had tried to go forward without the representation of skilled personal injury lawyers, then it is very unlikely that State Farm would have agreed to pay over $1.5 million, and it is even less likely that the DOT would have agreed to pay anything.
Attorney Richard Griffin of The Griffin Law Firm, P.C. concluded that seeking a free consultation for your personal injury, wrongful death, worker's compensation claim, or social security disability claim is vital. In this Cherokee County personal injury case, a government entity was responsible in addition to the negligent driver. Whenever a government entity is involved, then Georgia law requires that Ante Litum Notice must be filed timely or the claim against the government entity is barred. For most injured victims, justice will not be achieved unless an experienced and skilled personal injury lawyer or wrongful death lawyer is hired.
