A young driver ran a red light and struck our client, causing a head injury that changed her memory, her vision, and her ability to work.
Some head injuries aren't visible from the outside, but their impact on daily life is unmistakable. Our client's crash left her dealing with memory problems, vision changes, and a diminished ability to work, all stemming from a driver who ran a red light and struck her vehicle.
We built the case around the real, lived impact of that injury, documenting how it touched nearly every part of our client's life, not just her medical bills.
The case, Olivastro v. Jack McQueery, resolved for $250,000, the full available policy limit.
Recovering the maximum available under a policy isn't automatic. It requires building a case thorough enough that the insurer recognizes there's no advantage in offering less than the limit.
Memory loss, vision changes, and lost work capacity don't always show up on an x-ray, but they define what a client's life looks like after the crash. Capturing that impact is central to valuing these cases correctly.
