Case Result – Auto Accident & Neck/Back Injuries

Our client, T.A., was involved in a low-impact automobile accident when another driver suddenly merged into his lane of travel, causing a collision. Although the property damage to the vehicles appeared minor, our client soon began experiencing persistent neck and back pain radiating into both his upper and lower extremities.

He initially sought chiropractic treatment, but his symptoms did not improve. Concerned about the ongoing pain, he underwent MRIs of the cervical and lumbar spine, which revealed significant findings. Based on these results, he was referred to an orthopedic specialist who determined that he was a candidate for surgical intervention.

The insurance company initially attempted to undervalue the claim, offering just $25,000 to settle the case. Recognizing that this offer did not come close to compensating our client for his injuries, medical needs, and future care, our legal team aggressively pursued a fair resolution.

Through strategic negotiation and persistence, we were able to hold the insurance company accountable. Ultimately, the case was resolved for the policy limits in the six-figure range, ensuring that our client received the compensation necessary to address his medical treatment and ongoing recovery.

This case highlights an important fact in personal injury law: even “low-impact” or “minor” accidents can result in serious injuries with lasting consequences. At Stone & Capobianco, we fight to ensure that insurance companies do not minimize or dismiss the true impact of our clients’ injuries.
