Minor Injury Leads to Six Figure Settlement
Personal injury attorney Jerrold A. Mayro recently obtained a six-figure settlement for what was originally believed to be a minor injury.
PHOENIX, AZ, May 22, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Personal injury attorney Jerrold A. Mayro recently obtained a six figure settlement for what was originally believed to be a minor injury. The insurance company initially offered nothing, not even nuisance value. Nuisance value is an amount an insurer will pay to settle a claim to simply settle and close the case. It is often offered when the insurance company takes the position that the claim is not valid.
In this case, Mr. Mayro's client lived in the Phoenix area in Arizona but was injured in Tucson in a traffic accident. Only minor damage was done to the vehicle and the victim received what was believed to be a minor injury to his shoulder. Over time the injury became worse, and the victim needed surgery to repair the damage. He hired Jerrold A. Mayro of the Mayro Law Firm and filed a lawsuit months later. Mr. Mayro added the defendant's parents to the suit since they owned the car and were potentially responsible.
Mr. Mayro was prepared on every issue which applied pressure to the insurance company. After the defendant driver contradicted herself as to how the accident happened he was able to obtain a full six figure - full policy - settlement for his client.
"My client and I were very pleased with the settlement," Mr. Mayro said in a statement. "This is an example of both how a minor accident can lead to a significant and painful injury and why it is important to hire an experienced personal injury lawyer who strives to receive the maximum compensation for your claim."
