Jury Awards $149,000.00

On August 4, 1998, a college student sustained serious and permanent injuries to the muscular and nerve structures in his neck and back when another individual failed to stop for a red light at an intersection just north of downtown Milwaukee. With nearly $35,000.00 of incurred medical expenses and pain that would persist for the remaining 50 years of our client’s expected lifespan, Attorney Timothy W. Schelwat insisted that the insurance company for the at-fault driver pay its policy limits of $100,000.00 to settle the claim. The insurer refused to do so, and made its “top dollar” offer at $45,000.00. Upon conclusion of a trial held in the matter, the twelve-person jury rendered a verdict in which it found the defendant-driver 100% at fault for the conclusion and awarded our client a total of $149,000.00 in past and future damages.
