On July 10, 2023, our client was a passenger with her husband when they were struck by an uninsured motorist at an intersection in Ferguson, MO (St. Louis County). The client, a heart transplant recipient, sustained soft tissue spinal injuries and developed unusual swelling in her left arm. The key challenge in the case was proving that the accident exacerbated her pre-existing cardiovascular condition. After undergoing multiple tests, including a venous doppler and ultrasounds, a deep venous thrombosis was discovered. We successfully leveraged the conclusion of a hospital doctor, who noted that the accident aggravated her underlying condition, putting her at risk for venous insufficiency. The client received treatment that effectively relieved the issue.
Despite medical bills exceeding $200,000, we anticipate securing a favorable net amount for the client once health insurance payments are confirmed.
