$610,000: Claimant v. Rideshare Company

On July 19, 2018, our client was waiting at a red light with a ride-share passenger when he was violently rear-ended pushing his vehicle into the intersection. As the client pulled over to the side of the road to exchange information, the wrongdoer fled the scene leaving the client and their passenger to fend for themselves. Despite chiropractic care, physical therapy, multiple sets of imaging, including MRIs, and even more invasive procedures like epidural injections (please google to see these needles being injected into someones body), the client ultimately underwent a 2-level lumbar spine surgery to help alleviate the ongoing nerve damage resulting in numbness, weakness and tingling in his buttocks, legs and feet. A month before arbitration, the parties settled for $610,000.00. Due to the confidentiality agreement, no additional information can be provided.
