The client was walking across the main street of a small borough after a snow storm. She couldn't cross at the intersection in a cross walk becaue there were no openings in the piles of snow directly ... at the cross walk and she needed some food from the market across the street. The client had a mental disability which prevented her from being able to read. A commercial van hit her and knocked her to the ground, running over her leg. By pure miracle, the leg was not broken, perhaps because there was a bed of snow beneath it which cushioned the weight of the van. However, she suffered soft tissue damage to her leg and it was swollen for months. She needed orthopedic shoes at the termination of treatment. The primary defense was that she was jaywalking which was technically true. Also, the defense adjuster argued that it was impossible that her leg had been run over by a van without a fracture resulting. We were able to find a witness who verified the entire incident. We succeeded in obtaining 100% payment for all medical bills under the van's commercial policy. The case settled approximately 1.5 years from the date of incident. The monies went into a special needs trust on behalf of the plaintiff. She needed the special needs trust to prevent loss of her public benefits received due to her disability.
