₹25 Lakh Settlement for Car Accident Victim

Our client, a 34-year-old software engineer, was commuting to work when he was involved in a serious multi-vehicle collision on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway. The accident occurred when a commercial truck driver lost control of his vehicle and collided with several cars, including our client's.

As a result of the accident, our client suffered multiple fractures, a traumatic brain injury, and required extensive hospitalization and rehabilitation. The medical expenses quickly mounted, and he was unable to work for several months during his recovery.

The trucking company's insurance provider initially offered a settlement of only ₹5 lakh, claiming that our client was partially at fault for the accident. This amount would not even cover the immediate medical expenses, let alone the ongoing rehabilitation costs and lost wages.

Our Approach

Our legal team conducted a thorough investigation of the accident, which included:

• Obtaining and analyzing the police report
• Interviewing eyewitnesses
• Consulting with accident reconstruction experts
• Gathering all medical records and consulting with medical professionals
• Calculating current and future medical expenses
• Determining lost wages and diminished earning capacity

Our investigation revealed that the truck driver had been operating the vehicle for more than the legally permitted hours and that the trucking company had a history of safety violations. This evidence strengthened our client's case significantly.

The Result

After presenting our findings and entering into negotiations with the insurance company, we were able to secure a settlement of ₹25 lakh for our client. This amount covered all medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost wages, and provided compensation for pain and suffering.

Our client was able to focus on his recovery without the financial stress that often accompanies serious injuries. The settlement also allowed him to make necessary modifications to his home to accommodate his temporary mobility limitations during recovery.

Why This Case Matters

This case highlights the importance of thorough investigation and aggressive representation in personal injury cases. Insurance companies often make initial low settlement offers hoping that victims will accept them out of financial necessity or lack of legal knowledge.

By working with NY Legal Law Firm, our client was able to receive fair compensation that truly reflected the extent of his injuries and losses. We are committed to fighting for the rights of accident victims and ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve.
