Brain Injury in an Automobile Accident

Michael Weisberg represented a California client who had sustained a serious brain injury in Northern Virginia. A wooden bed liner broke in two and blew out of an El Camino causing our client to swerve partially off of the highway and momentarily lose control of her vehicle. The driver of the El Camino pulled off the highway; our client sustained a brain injury when her driver's side window contacted the rear corner of the defendant's vehicle. The case was settled for all available insurance coverage on the fourth day of trial. The matter was referred to our firm by a California lawyer who was told there was only $25,000 worth of coverage which was not being offered because of liability issues. Michael Weisberg, through extensive depositions and other discovery procedures, was able to prove that the bed liner had been cracked in previous usage. He also determined the availability of substantial additional coverage, which enabled him to utilize the driver's coverage of $25,000, the vehicle owner's coverage of $100,000, and the driver's mother's coverage of $200,000 (the driver lived with his mother). Final negotiations were held while the matter was about to be sent to the jury. The court recessed for the purpose of permitting counsel to contact the California Worker's Compensation carrier in order to get them to waive their liens, past and future.
