Case No. 207105
Mrs. M., a local executive, suffered severe foot and ankle injuries when another driver fell asleep and crossed over into her lane of travel, causing a head on collision. Her injuries required surgery and she was left with limitation of motion, scarring and a permanently swollen heal that required the purchase of special shoes. Her job entailed considerable walking on uneven surfaces but she suffered no lost income. We obtained from an expert an opinion that her future work life expectancy was shortened by her injury and that she will need special shoes for the remainder of her life. We obtained the limits of the striking driver’s insurance and obtained in settlement from her own insurance company an additional $1,250,000.00 bringing her total recovery to $1,350,000.00.
