$118,000 Car Accident Settlement
Jul 23, 2025OUTCOME: Won case, settled for $118,000
Recently, d’Oliveira & Associates Attorney Heather Spellman negotiated a $118,000 settlement for our client who was hit by a car. Our client was legally crossing the street when a negligent driver turn ... ed onto the road and rapidly accelerated, hitting our client and causing severe injuries. The client was rushed to the hospital, where he received medical attention for his head trauma, facial laceration and injuries to his hand, foot, knee and hip. Upon being contacted, the staff at d’Oliveira immediately began compiling records, negotiating with insurance and formulating the best plan forward. Attorney Heather Spellman stated, “We thoroughly investigated the crash and determined that both the driver and the vehicle’s owner were liable—unlocking multiple sources of insurance coverage. This was critical in securing full compensation. With strong medical support and evidence of how the injury impacted our client’s earning ability, we built a compelling loss of earning capacity claim. The result was a substantial recovery that accounted not only for his medical treatment, but also for the wages he lost—and would continue to lose, due to the cognitive impact of the crash.”
