$300,000 Settlement Secured After Disputed Red-Light Collision Leading to Carpal Tunnel Surgery

Managing Attorney Adam Kocaj successfully secured a $300,000.00 settlement for our client after a challenging legal battle. This case highlights our firm’s commitment to fighting for justice, even when liability is disputed.

Our client was lawfully proceeding through an intersection after stopping at a red light when the defendant ran a red light and violently T-boned our client’s vehicle. The impact was so severe that it pushed our client’s vehicle into another car, resulting in a four-vehicle collision. Our client sustained significant injuries and was transported from the scene via ambulance.

Case Overview

Following the accident, our client suffered from persistent nerve issues in his right hand, making it difficult for him to work and eventually requiring carpal tunnel surgery. 

Key Challenges

Disputed Liability

• Despite clear dashcam footage and multiple witness statements supporting our client’s claim, the defendant denied running the red light.
• The defense aggressively contested fault, leading to extensive litigation before reaching a resolution.

Impact on Work & Life

• The injuries, particularly nerve damage in our client’s right hand, severely affected his ability to perform his job.
• We fought to ensure that his long-term limitations were factored into the settlement.

Settlement Success

We attempted to resolve the case through mediation in December, but an agreement was not reached. However, Adam remained steadfast in advocating for our client. After continued litigation, we successfully secured a $300,000.00 settlement, ensuring our client received the compensation he deserved.
