Referral Type: Google

Our law firm represented a client who was a passenger involved in a high-speed collision in Georgia. The incident occurred when the driver of our client’s vehicle attempted a left turn and was struck by another vehicle traveling at an alarming speed as noted in the police report. The impact caused our client’s vehicle to spin uncontrollably, eventually crashing into a utility pole. This case demonstrates the severe consequences of high-speed accidents and the importance of securing adequate compensation to cover the long-term impact of such traumatic events.

Injuries and Medical Treatment

Our client sustained multiple serious injuries due to the violent nature of the collision, including:

• Broken femur requiring surgery for repair
• Closed head injury with potential lasting effects on cognitive and physical functions
• Broken nose and fractured ribs
• Bruising on the chest from seatbelt restraint during the impact
• Partial tear of a tendon in the knee

After her broken leg healed, our client faced a long recovery process that included several weeks of physical therapy to regain mobility and function.

The combination of these injuries resulted in significant pain, extensive medical care, and a lengthy rehabilitation period. Our legal team ensured that each aspect of her treatment and recovery was thoroughly documented to support her claim for compensation.

Legal Strategy and Case Resolution

Given the severity of the accident and the extreme speed of the at-fault driver, our team at the Rebecca Kay Sapp Law Firm pursued maximum compensation from the at-fault party’s insurance policy. Despite the complexity of the injuries and the challenging recovery process, our attorneys worked diligently to demonstrate the full extent of the physical and emotional toll on our client.

Through careful coordination with medical professionals, we documented each injury and provided comprehensive evidence of the long-term effects on our client’s quality of life. This strategic approach allowed us to secure the entire $250,000 policy limit from the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier, providing essential financial support for our client’s medical costs, pain, and suffering, and ongoing rehabilitation needs.
