-Paul from Brooklyn, NY
$80,000.00 Settlement
On December 8th, 2018, Paul was driving southbound on Ocean Avenue and Avenue O in Brooklyn when another vehicle driving northbound on the same street made an illegal u-turn over double solid lines right in front of Paul! The front of Paul’s vehicle collided with the rear/passenger side of the other vehicle. Paul experienced a few seconds of disorientation following the initial impact and developed an instantaneous headache with dizziness and progressive musculoskeletal pain. He received medical attention by EMS at the accident scene but was not taken to the hospital since he didn’t think he was that injured. After two nights of sleeping problems and worsening pain, he went to the doctor.
As a result of the accident, Paul suffered injuries to his neck, right shoulder (partial tear), lower back, left wrist/hand, and left leg. The pain in his neck radiated to his right shoulder/upper back, and the pain in his lower back radiated to his posterior thighs and left leg with prolonged standing, sitting, bending, or lifting. He experienced weakness in his hands (more pronounced on the left side) and weakness/heaviness in his left leg. Paul went to physical therapy three times a week and was required to undergo right shoulder surgery on March 19, 2019. Paul was totally disabled for about 4 months and remains partially disabled to date.
After Paul’s accident, his girlfriend told him about Adam Handler and how he was the best person to speak to about his case. Thanks to her glowing recommendation, Paul contacted The Case Handler team! During our investigation, we discovered that the other driver told the police that Paul was the one that crashed into them as they were pulling out of a gas station, and the police sketched the wrong accident diagram in the official police report. With the help of our resilient Brooklyn illegal u-turn accident attorneys at Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco, LLP, we set the record straight and recovered $80,000.00 for Paul!
Don’t you hate it when you realize that you need to go in the other direction and the intersection you were going to attempt to turn around at has a “no u-turn” sign or the road you’re on has double yellow lines or median? As annoying as it is, it’s always better and safer to follow the rules of the road even if it takes a couple of more minutes. It’s either just a couple of minutes to make a legal turn or potentially months to years of dealing with an accident. It’s not worth it, so please drive safely. If you or a loved one have been injured by a reckless driver, we are here to help.
