Philadelphia County Settlement at Mediation: $100,000.00:

This matter arose from a “head-on” motor vehicle accident in which the damage to the vehicles was rather extensive. Plaintiff was “full tort” and claimed personal injury, predominantly to her right knee and which included a partial tear of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and patellar tendon. Plaintiff also claimed approximately $10,000.00 in unpaid medical bills and wage loss. Buttressing the Plaintiff’s claim, the defense expert agreed Plaintiff sustained the injuries to her knee but was fully recovered. Defendant’s claim was supported by the evidence that Plaintiff treated merely for three (3) months, and her own expert agreed no further treatment or follow-up was necessary. A fair and amicable settlement indeed before both Parties incurred costs of trial.
