A Substantial Settlement for a Woman Severely Injured in a Head-On Collision

Our client was a 32-year-old teacher traveling to work at 7 a.m. on State Route 66. She was a front-seat passenger, carpooling with a co-worker. A vehicle traveling in the opposite direction struck a tractor-trailer on the road ahead of our client’s vehicle. After striking the rear of the tractor-trailer, the oncoming vehicle crossed the center line and collided head-on with the vehicle carrying our client. Our client was trapped for nearly 40 minutes and had to be cut from the wreckage.

The Challenge

The Legal Challenge

She had emergency surgery at a Pittsburgh hospital for extensive internal injuries, including lacerations of her liver and a perforated small intestine. She also suffered multiple other injuries, including trauma to her knee that resulted in chondromalacia. Months after her initial hospitalization, she had additional abdominal surgery to repair an umbilical hernia. She also had surgery to repair her Achilles tendon after that tendon ruptured due to the trauma of the accident, which reduced the blood supply to that tendon. After months of rehabilitation, she was able to return to work.
