On June 1, 2020, a 50-year-old woman’s life changed forever. A motor vehicle accident left her with serious injuries that would not only challenge her physically and mentally but also test her emotionally. What followed was a long and difficult journey lasting over 4 ½ years —one marked by pain, perseverance, and ultimately, progress. With the support of skilled medical professionals and the unwavering advocacy of our law firm, she found a path forward.
Before the accident, she occasionally experienced headaches, but the collision intensified her symptoms dramatically. She began suffering from daily, persistent, debilitating headaches, cognitive difficulties, and spinal injuries that disrupted virtually every aspect of her daily life. Tasks that had once come easily—focusing, multitasking, processing thoughts—became overwhelming. These challenges were compounded by anxiety and depression directly stemming from the accident, making recovery even more challenging.
Despite these obstacles, our client showed remarkable resilience. She committed herself to a comprehensive treatment plan that included medications to manage her symptoms, therapy to support her mental health, and cognitive rehabilitation to restore her brain function. Advanced neuropsychological testing and brain imaging helped guide her care, and over time, her cognitive scores slowly began to improve. She worked tirelessly in cognitive therapy sessions, determined to regain her independence and improve her quality of life. Throughout this journey, our law firm stood by her side, not just as legal advocates but as partners in her recovery. We understood that her healing depended not only on medical care but also on securing the financial resources and legal protections she needed to move forward.
Our firm was instrumental in obtaining the following critical benefits for our client with her workers’ compensation carrier:
- Secured approval for a cervical fusion and treatment for a traumatic brain injury (TBI)—procedures essential to her recovery and long-term well-being.
- Obtained continued authorization for ongoing medical care, resulting in a combined whole-body permanent partial impairment (PPI) rating of 32%.
- Negotiated a complete waiver of the employer/carrier’s (EC) $103,000 lien in the third-party case, significantly reducing the financial burden on our client.
- Secured a comprehensive settlement of all past, present, and future medical and indemnity benefits in the amount of $275,000, which included a Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) allocation of $173,739.
These outcomes were not just numbers—they represented peace of mind, access to future medical care, and a renewed sense of control over her future.
Today, our client has reached maximum medical improvement neurologically. While the accident left lasting effects, she continues to work on her mental health with the same determination that carried her through the most difficult days. Her recovery plan continues to include ongoing therapy, regular evaluations, and medications to maintain her progress and protect her quality of life.
