Bronx Passenger Injury Attorney Review: Aretha

Fire! Fire! Get out, we are on Fire! Aretha was a passenger in the front seat of a 2007 Honda SUV. They collided in the back of a 2018 Volkswagen SUV that stopped suddenly in front of them. Aretha absorbed most of the impact from the collision because of where she was sitting. The airbags deployed. The driver of the vehicle in which Aretha was a passenger exclaimed, “Get out, the vehicle is on fire!” Fortunately, another passenger in the back seat warned her not to get out of the vehicle, and Aretha did not exit the car. As she turned her head, another vehicle passed right next to her. If she got out of the car, she may have lost her life. Aretha was taken by ambulance to Jacobi Medical Center.

Aretha’s pain was excruciating. On impact, she could feel unbearable pain in her left shoulder, she had bruises both on her left ribs, and a swollen left breast. This was not her first accident. In January 2014 she was involved in an accident where she injured her right shoulder, lower back, and neck. Once again the unthinkable happened, this time Aretha underwent paravertebral trigger point injections with lidocaine in her head, cervical spine, left upper extremity, sternocleidomastoid muscle, trapezius muscle spine of scapula and deltoid muscles.

Aretha was no stranger to The Case Handler team; she was already family! Therefore, when this tragedy hit for the second time, she knew who to call – and she did. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and Aretha tasted the professionalism of The Case Handler team. She certainly did not want to be injured again, but she knew who she wanted to represent her when she was. She was confident that the team at Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco LLP would do everything they could to fight for her. She understood that having a previous accident can hurt her chances of recovering compensation. But Aretha also knew that she had one chance to get it right, so she made the choice to trust The Case Handler team!   With the help of our personal injury team at PPID, Aretha recovered $38,500.00!
