$1.55M for Stop Sign Accident

The accident occurred around 5:25 am when our client was travelling near an intersection and the defendant ran a stop sign. This caused the driver to collide into the rear left side of our client’s vehicle.

The defendant owed a duty of reasonable care to the public, and in particular to our client. In breaching this duty and acting carelessly, recklessly, and negligently, he caused an otherwise preventable collision.

A thorough accident investigation determined that our client was following California law at the time of the stop sign collision, alleviating any comparative negligence issues. The liability rested then solely on the defendant, who violated several statutes included in the California vehicle code.

The defendant’s insurance company accepted liability in the matter. As such, our client was entitled to full compensation for all economic and non-economic damages caused by the accident. Some of these damages included injuries to his back, shoulder, and hand. Moreover, our client’s daily activities and ability to work were impacted due to these injuries, which resulted in lost wages and substantial medical expenses.

Ultimately, through expert and assertive representation, the team at Adamson Ahdoot was able to secure a $1,550,000 settlement. This will help alleviate the financial and emotional burden that our client suffered as a consequence of the accident.
