Settlement for Distracted Driving Car Accident On May 16, 2019, a husband and wife were doing routine errands and returning to their home in York, Illinois. A teenage driver, distracted by her phone, rear-ended my clients’ vehicle that was stopped in the left lane waiting to make a turn. The collision forced my clients’ vehicle to strike an oncoming vehicle on the driver’s side. Following the collision, the fire department had to extract my clients from their vehicle. They were immediately transported to the emergency room. The wife sustained injuries to her head and neck and was stable and released that same day from the hospital. The husband sustained a back injury and was admitted to the hospital for observation but released the next day.   Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers was quickly able to point out the wrongful conduct of the distracted driver, and the insurance company agreed that its driver was 100% at fault. The clients eventually followed up with pain specialist doctors to treat their injuries. The wife had persistent neck pain that required extensive physical therapy. She was diagnosed with a herniated disk in her cervical spine. The husband had vertigo and a lower back issue that required extensive therapy. Before filing any lawsuit and despite the start of the COVID pandemic, Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers obtained six figure compensation for both husband and wife. The couple was extremely pleased with the results and the ability of Gainsberg Injury and Accident Lawyers to obtain these settlements shortly after they finished their medical treatment.
