$900,000 Berks Cty Settlement in 6 months

$900,000 settlement only 6 months after our Limited Tort client was in a car that was struck by a truck while she was driving as part of her job. Our client was exiting State Route 12 (SR 12) at the Warren Street exit in Reading, PA. She had a green light and proceeded when a tractor trailer operator was heading northbound on 5th Street and blew through a red light without stopping. By investigating this crash immediately after Ostroff Godshall Injury and Accident Lawyers was retained, Jon Ostroff was able to establish (by obtaining and recording multiple eyewitness statements within a few days of this crash) that the truck driver was on his cell phone when he missed the light and slammed into our client’s car. As a result of this truck crash, our client fractured both hips, her right wrist, 3 ribs and suffered from a severe concussion. Despite our client being covered by a Limited Tort insurance policy, the aggressive investigation and pursuit of a recovery by Jon Ostroff for our client led to this substantial $900,000 settlement only 6 months after this crash.
