Multi-Vehicle Collision with Arbitration Outcome
Case Study
Case Overview
After completing a right turn, the client was rear-ended by the first defendant, who claimed he thought her vehicle was stopped without lights. The impact caused the client’s car to spin into the median lane, where it was struck on the rear passenger side by the second defendant, who was distracted by the wreckage. The collision broke the client’s back axle. Initially, the responding officer deemed the client at fault, but arbitration in August 2023 determined the client was not at fault, holding both defendants 50/50 liable.

Case Outcome
Amount Recovered
$17,000
The client received $2,000–$3,000 for her vehicle and $1,500 for rental costs but continues to face unpaid medical expenses and out-of-pocket rental costs. Her vehicle was impounded from March to August 2023 before being released by court order. With neither insurance company covering medical costs or pain and suffering, further legal action is necessary to secure full compensation for the client’s financial and emotional damages.
