$580,000 Settlement Obtained For Client Injured After Being Pulled Over By Police

Our New York City personal injury attorneys obtained a $580,000 settlement for an insurance salesman that was pulled over by a police officer.  The man was told to come to the police car and while standing by the car, his vehicle hit the police car knocking him to the ground. Our client was taken to the hospital with neck, shoulder, and back complaints.

He later received surgery for his shoulder, but later, because of a drop foot from his lumbar disc, he tripped and fell resulting in a torn meniscus with arthroscopic surgery. His treatment continued for 18 months after which he obtained a job as a cook. Our client contended that his medical treatment had stopped and he was able to resume work at an occupation that was physically challenging without problems as well as that his knee injury resulted from a basketball injury and was unrelated to the motor vehicle accident.
