Client in a Latrobe Rear-End Collision That Resulted in Three Surgeries Received a Substantial Settlement

Our client was traveling on Lloyd Avenue Extension in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and attempted to merge onto Lloyd Avenue. While waiting for a break in traffic, another vehicle failed to stop and collided with the rear of our client’s vehicle. The impact caused her knee to strike the dashboard, resulting in a tear of her medial meniscus.
The injury required our client to undergo three surgeries. She first underwent two arthroscopic procedures, during which the surgeon performed a partial medial meniscectomy, partial lateral meniscectomy, and chondral shaving. When these procedures did not alleviate her pain, she underwent a third procedure: a total knee arthroplasty, or knee replacement.
