The rules of the road require drivers to drive carefully and not collide with cars stopped in front of them. Indeed, such an accident is so clear cut that a judge will rule the car striking another vehicle from behind is responsible for the crash without the need for a jury trial. In one such case our firm successfully obtained summary judgment on behalf of our client, a driver whose car was struck from behind by another car. In the case, handled by Eliot Bickoff, Esq., our firm was successful in obtaining a $485,000.00 recovery for the driver who suffered neck injuries in the collision. Our client, a sixty nine year old health care worker, required physical therapy and therapeutic injections as a result of her injuries. She also was forced to stop working. Despite the defendants claim that her injures pre-existed the car crash and were from the aging process, medical evidence established that our client would not have needed treatment but for the injury, and could have continued working. A settlement of $485,000 was reached before trial.
