FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chicago, IL – Attorneys Michael W. Lenert and Christopher J. Warmbold of Meyers & Flowers successfully secured a $1,727,500 settlement on behalf of their client, a woman who suffered a significant foot injury after being involved in a motor vehicle accident. The settlement was reached shortly before trial with a result that was over fourteen (14) times greater than the defendants’ offer during a failed mediation held prior to expert discovery.
“Although the defendant disputed the severity of our client’s foot injuries throughout this litigation and retained multiple out-of-state experts to attempt to refute the severity and permanency of her injuries, we believe this settlement reflects the defendant’s acknowledgment of the seriousness of what she endured” said Attorney Lenert.
Following the incident, the client was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was diagnosed with a significantly displaced calcaneus fracture which necessitated two surgeries and a long road of physical therapy.
“Despite the immense physical and emotional challenges, our client demonstrated extraordinary strength throughout her recovery. This settlement not only with compensates our client for what she endured during her recovery, but importantly also provides her with the resources needed to support her long-term recovery and well-being,” said Attorney Warmbold.
