Our 49-year-old female client was at a restaurant when she was hit by busboy pushing a cart stacked high with plates, causing her to fall down and tear her meniscus. The client’s injury resulted in $14,000 in medical expenses and she was told she may need surgery. Insurance was initially offering $20,000. We sent a draft lawsuit and negotiated with them to settle the lawsuit for $100,000 without expensive litigation. The client avoided having surgery and this case was resolved in less than two years.
