A 38-year-old ride-share driver sustained multiple injuries in a severe collision caused by a reckless driver exiting a private driveway at high speed in Los Angeles, CA. The case concluded with a $1,000,000 settlement after proving the necessity of extensive medical treatment.
Our client, a 38-year-old male and ride-share driver, was traveling on a public street in Los Angeles, CA, during the course of his employment when the defendant, failing to pay attention to traffic, exited a private driveway at high speed and attempted a left turn. The defendant collided severely with the front passenger side of our client’s vehicle. The collision was a direct result of the defendant’s reckless driving, violating several California Vehicle Codes, including those governing safe entry onto a highway, speed, and reckless driving.
The collision caused our client to sustain injuries to his head, neck, back, chest, abdomen, groin, and left arm, among others. His medical expenses totaled $464,000, which included surgeries for hernia repairs, neurocognitive rehabilitation for a mild traumatic brain injury, and ongoing treatment for pain and cognitive deficits. Despite disputes from the defendant, who was our client’s own insurance carrier, expert testimony confirmed the reasonableness and necessity of the medical treatments.
This case demonstrates the severe impact of reckless driving and the importance of adhering to traffic laws when entering a roadway. Through meticulous legal work and expert testimony, our client was able to secure a $1,000,000 settlement to cover his extensive medical expenses and future treatment needs, despite challenges from the defendant.
