(Philadelphia) – Attorney William M. Davis of McMonagle Perri McHugh Mischak Davis has successfully secured a significant recovery for an elderly client following a motor vehicle accident, overcoming aggressive attempts by insurance providers to deny liability based on the victim’s age and pre-existing health conditions.
The incident, which initially appeared to involve a low-impact collision with minor immediate injuries, later resulted in severe medical complications for the plaintiff due to a combination of trauma, advanced age, and underlying health vulnerabilities.
The involved insurance companies initially offered a minimal settlement of $20,000, asserting that the plaintiff’s medical complications were entirely attributable to her prior medical history, rather than the force of the collision. However, Davis, with the help of medical experts in the fields of orthopedics and wound therapy, conclusively demonstrated that the motor vehicle accident was the direct cause of the injuries and subsequent complications, and had nothing to do with the client’s baseline health prior to the crash. In the end, the insurance companies acquiesced to a $300,000 settlement.
