Charlottesville Virginia Rear End Collision with Lumbar Herniated Disc

Our client was stopped on High street waiting to turn onto Hazel Street in Charlottesville.  He was rear-ended by an unattentive driver. 

After significant diagnoses and treatment and conservative treatment for a herniated disc, our client underwent a low back surgery.  Essentially this means that time, physical therapy and injections did not help him.  The client underwent a decompression of the L5-S1 disc.  This is in the low back.  You can see in the diagram below where the lumbar area ends and the sacral area starts.  

Human Spine

The client made a fairly good recovery but we were limited by the amount of insurance coverage.  The liability carrier only had $25,000 in coverage.  Fortunately our client had a $100,000 underinsured policy and we were able to get them to pay $75,000 for a recovery $100,000.  That was not full value for the case but we did receive all of the coverage available. 

Awarded: $100,000
