Our client was injured in a crash at an Arlington intersection when another driver ran a red light and struck her vehicle.
The crash caused a fractured wrist and a torn ligament in the right hand. An MRI confirmed the ligament injury. The client was treated by a hand specialist and was ultimately left with a permanent impairment to her right hand and wrist, which is expected to worsen over time.
The insurance company disputed the cause of the ligament tear, claiming it existed before the crash. No evidence of any prior injury was presented. The case proceeded to trial, and the jury returned a verdict of $492,564.94, plus interest.
