Catastrophic Collision at an Intersection
Represented by Brian Glass of BenGlassLaw, our client experienced a devastating accident while exiting her neighborhood on Folkstone Road, attempting a left turn onto West Ox Road in Fairfax, VA. In a grave lapse of road safety, the defendant ran a red light, colliding with the side of our client’s vehicle. The impact was severe, causing significant damage to the driver’s side of her car, with about a foot of intrusion that necessitated rescue intervention from emergency medical technicians (EMTs) to extricate her from the wreckage.
Medical Emergencies and Treatment
Following the collision, our client was urgently transported to Reston Hospital Center by ambulance. X-rays taken at the hospital revealed multiple serious injuries, including displaced fractures of the left pubic symphysis, the left inferior pubic ramus, the left anterior acetabular, and her left sacrum. Due to the severity of these injuries, she required an extended hospital stay of two days. Upon her release on July 1, she was provided with a rolling walker and a commode to aid in mobility and daily activities. Additionally, she suffered a left hip acetabular labral tear during the crash, which led to a necessary left hip arthroplasty to restore function and alleviate pain.
Left hip arthroplasty, commonly known as hip replacement surgery, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or worn-out left hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint or implant. This procedure is typically performed to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients who have severe arthritis or have sustained significant injury to the hip joint. The surgery involves removing the diseased or damaged parts of the hip joint and replacing them with artificial components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic to restore the function and range of motion of the hip.
Legal Resolution and Compensation
The legal proceedings culminated in a settlement of $325,000, awarded to our client for her substantial medical expenses, ongoing care needs, and the pain and suffering endured as a result of the accident. This settlement reflects the serious nature of the injuries, the negligence of the other driver, and was the full amount of the insurance coverage available.
