Delaware County Settlement at Mediation: $225,000.00:

I am pleased to report the settlement of a motor vehicle accident claim pending in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Plaintiff was operating his vehicle upon the roadway when struck by Defendant as he backed his vehicle onto the roadway from a driveway. There was significant damage to Plaintiff’s vehicle. In addition, Plaintiff sustained an avulsion fracture to his C4 vertebrae which, fortunately, healed over time, although there were multiple MRI findings supporting Plaintiff’s claim that this accident advanced the degeneration in Plaintiff’s cervical spine such that Plaintiff’s spinal cord was being impinged. Plaintiff was also asserting a claim for past and future wage loss; however, the defense effectively argued Plaintiff’s preexisting comorbidities rendered consideration of the wage loss claim tenuous at best, particularly that relating to any future loss. Ultimately, a fair, amicable settlement was procured.
