$175k Settlement for Rear-End Accident

Our client was traveling southbound on 101 Freeway in Petaluma, California. At that time, the defendant was operating a vehicle directly behind our client’s vehicle. As our client stopped the vehicle due to the traffic ahead, the defendant failed to yield to the stationary vehicle and slammed into the rear of our client’s vehicle. As a result of this collision, our client’s vehicle sustained extensive damages.

Our client saw a doctor at Toth Chiropractic for the chiropractic evaluation and treatment of the injuries sustained in the motor vehicle accident that occurred on December 13, 2018. They complained of constant headaches, and constant pain in his neck, right shoulder, upper back, mid-back, lower back, left hip, and left foot associated with spasms.

They rated the severity of the neck pain as 9/10, right shoulder as 6-7/10, and back pain as 8-9/10. Furthermore, they had difficulty dressing, sleeping, playing with children, bending, walking, and performing work duties due to the pain.
