Attorneys Taylor D. Golba and Thomas M. Mercure recently secured a $2.875 million settlement on behalf of their client, a Western New York woman, who was injured as the result of a motor vehicle accident.
WHAT HAPPENED
While traveling on a rural road in Western New York, the client’s car was struck by another vehicle. She was injured because of the crash and turned to Taylor and Tom to hold those responsible accountable.
OVERCOMING VIGOROUS INSURANCE DEFENSE
The defendants’ insurance company vigorously disputed responsibility for the crash and the client’s injuries, retaining an accident reconstruction expert and three medical experts to support its defense. Despite those efforts, Taylor and Tom developed a compelling case. Based on Taylor and Toms’ work, the defendants agreed to a settlement less than one month before trial that strongly favored the injured woman.
$2.875 MILLION RESULT
Taylor and Tom held the other parties responsible for the car crash accountable for the injuries suffered by their client. A $2.875 million settlement was obtained for the injured woman.
