Traumatic Brain Injury Settlement

In January 2007, our client was a passenger in a vehicle caused to overturn on the highway by a tractor trailer. The tractor trailer veered into the path of the vehicle our client was traveling in. Police noted that the tractor trailer made an unsafe lane change. As a defendant in this case, the driver of the tractor trailer aggressively denied that he was at fault for the collision and denied all responsibility for our client’s serious injuries.

The Plaintiff sustained massive physical injuries including traumatic brain injury (TBI) that left her with permanent and life-changing physical and cognitive deficits, as well as life-long pain. As a result, Sheff Law was retained by the plaintiff’s initial counsel after they were unable to resolve matter. After two failed mediation sessions, Sheff Law resolved the case through direct negotiations with defense counsel.

Sheff Law has decades’ worth of experience in dealing with automobile cases. The firm recognizes the effects of brain injury can last a lifetime. Our attorneys strive to get each client the maximum compensation they deserve. Through great effort and investigation, Sheff Law was able to find the defendant liable for the accident and injuries. In total, the case was resolved for $1,500,000.
