Woman In Car Accident Receives $750,000.00
A woman involved in an automobile/truck accident, who was represented by Attorney Michael Hupy, will receive a settlement totaling more than $750,000.00. At approximately 7:25 p.m.
On Saturday, October 5, 1991, Julie Basuki was traveling south in Dodge County on Highway U.S. 41. The southbound and northbound lanes are separated by a median. A dump truck was attempting to cross for east to west and had stopped between the north and southbound lanes. The driver of the truck accelerated from a stopped position into the southbound lane causing a collision with the Mazda driven by Ms. Basuki.
As a result of the accident, Ms. Basuki suffered injuries to her ankle, a broken left arm, a crushed heel and general trauma. She was hospitalized for several weeks after the accident and required extensive rehabilitation after she was released. Her medical bills were more than $100,000.00 and she was left with permanent injuries. Initially, the insurance adjuster offered $450,000.00 to settle the claim. A lawsuit was filed, Ms. Basuki’s deposition was taken and the offer was raised to $500,000.00. The insurance company insisted that there might have been some negligence on Ms. Basuki’s part. After the truck driver’s deposition was taken, settlement offers were gradually increased to approximately $750,000.00, at which time the case was settled. Ms. Basuki will receive more than half a million dollars in cash, plus payments for the rest of her life as part of the settlement.
Because Ms. Basuki was not able to do so herself, her husband contacted our law firm right after the accident. This allowed us to immediately start investigating the case including taking statement from witnesses. Although there was no dispute about how the accident happened, as an interesting sidelight, one of our other clients was behind Ms. Basuki’s car at the time of the accident and was able to provide detailed information as to how it happened.
When involved in an accident, it is important to be represented by an experienced personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies will pay as little as possible to settle any claim. It takes an attorney willing to do all the work necessary to move your case forward to achieve the maximum result.
