What Happened?
On March 20th, 2022, Kemar was driving southbound on I-95 in the far left lane when a truck in the next lane over abruptly began merging into Kemar’s lane. The truck was not far enough ahead when it began to enter Kemar’s lane so it collided with the front passenger side of Kamar’s vehicle as a result. There was major damage to Kemar’s vehicle with crushed glass. He went to an urgent care center where he was evaluated, treated, and released home with a sling for his left arm.
Kemar injured his left shoulder and neck due to the accident. He never had any problems with his left shoulder previously but he now experienced left shoulder pain by the rotator cuff with significant difficulty with overhead activities. His constant neck pain would radiate to the left shoulder/arm which caused him to experience a numbness and tingling sensation in his arm and hands. Even though he was experiencing pain, he went back to work 4 days after the accident. He attended physical therapy for several months and underwent a pain management injection to his left shoulder on May 31st, 2022. His treatment was very helpful in alleviating his symptoms!
Thanks to a recommendation, Kemar was told to call The Case Handler team at PPID. The day after his accident, Kemar contacted our team for legal help! After the Defendant’s insurance company reviewed Kemar’s medical documentation, they questioned how Kemar injured his left shoulder in this accident when his car was hit on the right side and they initially offered $27k to settle his bodily injury claim. With the help of our highly-rated highway merging crash attorney in NYC, Kemar recovered his lost wages and won a $40,000.00 settlement in 12 months!
