ATTORNEYS FOR PLAINTIFF:

Robert D. Stewart & Debora Concepcion, PARKER | SCHEER, Boston, Massachusetts

CASE SUMMARY:

The pedestrian plaintiff, a 59 year-old male, suffered a comminuted fracture of the left distal tibia and fibula after being struck by an automobile in Quincy, Massachusetts. As a result of this accident, a permanent intramedullary rod was placed in the plaintiff's left lower leg to stabilize the fractured tibia.

Plaintiff's counsel successfully convinced the liability carrier of the seriousness of the plaintiff's injuries and was able to have the proceeds from the liability carrier disbursed long before any health lien was placed on the case, thus maximizing the net proceeds to the plaintiff. The case in its entirety was resolved within three and a half months of the auto accident.

Auto accident related medical expenses totaled approximately $10,000.00.
