(Philadelphia) – Attorneys William M. Davis and Steven B. Patton have obtained a six-figure settlement on behalf of a client injured in a motor vehicle collision, successfully overcoming a complete denial of liability by the defendant’s insurer during the litigation phase.
The defense initially refused to extend any settlement offers, contending that the entirety of the plaintiff’s post-collision symptoms and medical treatment were attributable strictly to pre-existing conditions.
Through a complex medical record analysis and the help of multiple specialists, Davis and Patton addressed the nature of the injuries, causation, aggravation of prior conditions, and the long-term impact on the client. That additional medical work successfully invalidated the argument of the defense, who relented on the eve of trial, tendering a $250,000 settlement, the full amount of the defendant’s available automobile insurance coverage.
The resolution of this matter underscores the firm’s commitment to rigorous case preparation and complex medical causation analysis in matters involving personal injury.
