$800,000 Motor Vehicle Collision Settlement for Client Who Had Preexisting Conditions

Amanda Sher secured an impressive $800,000 settlement for a 2021 rear-end collision case in St. Louis City. Despite only minor damage to the client’s steel bumper, the impact led to significant and lasting injuries. The client initially presented with soft tissue back pain but had a history of extensive back issues, including a prior spinal fusion. His treatment journey began with chiropractic care and progressed to orthopedic and pain management interventions. He underwent a variety of treatments, including an ablation, and imaging later revealed disc bulges throughout his thoracic spine. Ultimately, he had a dorsal column stimulator surgically implanted and underwent a thoracic laminectomy. Despite these efforts, the client continues to endure chronic pain that impacts his daily life, especially his ability to enjoy time with his grandchildren as he once did. The team’s detailed analysis and presentation of the client’s extensive treatment were instrumental in achieving this result.
