The Case: Low-Speed Collision at a Stop Sign in Hartford
Our client was a passenger in a vehicle when the defendant failed to yield at a stop sign, causing a low-speed collision. The impact resulted in a knee contusion and back soreness. Out of caution, our client visited the emergency room the same day to ensure there were no serious injuries.
His total medical bills were around $1,780, but thanks to his health insurance, he had no out-of-pocket expenses.
The Client’s Goal
Unlike many personal injury cases, this client had a simple and reasonable goal:
To be compensated for his pain and suffering caused by the knee injury, which lasted several weeks after the accident.
He wasn’t seeking an inflated payout—just fair compensation for the inconvenience and discomfort he endured.
How LA LAW Secured a Fair Settlement
We worked closely with the client to build a custom legal strategy based on his priorities. Through negotiation and persistence, we achieved a $2,780 settlement—covering not only his temporary discomfort but also reinforcing the principle that even minor injuries deserve fair treatment.
This case is a perfect example of how even small cases matter. Our client knew his injury wasn’t catastrophic, but he also knew that without the defendant’s negligence, he wouldn’t have faced days of discomfort or needed medical attention.
Many people don’t realize that even low-speed crashes can justify a Hartford passenger injury claim.
Why Minor Injury Cases Still Deserve Legal Help
It’s a common misconception that personal injury cases must involve serious or life-changing injuries to be valid. The reality is:
- Even low-speed collisions can cause significant pain and disrupt your life.
- Insurance companies often downplay or deny small claims—until legal help steps in.
- A personal injury attorney ensures your rights are respected, no matter the severity of your injury.
At LA LAW, we believe every client deserves justice, whether your injury lasts months or a few painful weeks.
