Since 1980, Langer & Langer has fought for injured people across Northwest Indiana. We measure our work by one standard: what we actually recover for the clients who trust us. This result belongs to a client we’ll call Diane.*
Diane was in her SUV when she was rear-ended hard enough that she left the scene in an ambulance.
The crash injured her left ankle and lower leg and inflicted blunt-force chest trauma. That combination put her recovery on two tracks at once: orthopedic care for the leg injuries, and medical monitoring for potential internal injuries from the blow to her chest. Her recovery required a stay at a rehabilitation facility before she could return home.
Rear-end crashes get waved off as fender benders so routinely that people apologize for their own injuries. Diane’s case is the answer to that reflex. Emergency transport from the scene, chest trauma serious enough to warrant internal injury monitoring, and a rehab stay are not fender bender facts. They are the record of a violent collision, and we presented them that way.
The insurance company paid the full available policy limits: $100,000. When an insurer hands over every dollar of coverage rather than test its arguments in front of a jury, the case has been made.
If you were rear-ended and the adjuster is already talking about a quick, small settlement, slow down. The first offer is a bet that you do not know what your case is worth.
