Policy Limits Settlement for Hit and Run Accident On May 19, 2019, our client, a 54-year-old male, was rear-ended while stopped at the traffic light at Voyager LN and Plainfield RD in Joliet, IL. The force of the impact caused the front windshield of my client’s car to crack and caused my client’s vehicle to strike the car in front of him. The at-fault driver then backed up and attempted to flee the scene. While fleeing, he rear-ended a motorcycle before finally leaving the scene. Luckily, the victims of the hit and run driver and bystanders took down the license plate of the hit and run offender. The offender was caught, and he eventually admitted to causing the accident. Our client sustained head and neck injuries. He was rushed to the hospital and released in stable condition after undergoing a serious of tests and scans in the emergency room. As his neck pain persisted and intensified, his treating physician order a cervical MRI. The MRI revealed many disk herniations on multiple levels in the neck. As a result, our client underwent several months of physical therapy and pain management, which included medial branch blocks and cervical radiofrequency injections. Our client’s recovery was slow but eventually his neck pain diminished. Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers was able to get justice for its client.
