Our client was rear-ended while stopped at a traffic light and sustained a serious cervical spine injury that ultimately required surgery. The insurance company disputed the claim, arguing that the need for surgery was due to pre-existing degenerative conditions and that the collision could not have caused more than a minor whiplash injury.

Attorney James Carlson strongly advocated on behalf of his client, rejecting the insurance company’s top offer of $42,000 and pursuing litigation. Through diligent case development and persistence, the case ultimately settled for over $400,000, securing a significantly higher recovery for the client.
