$1,750,000 Settlement for Injury Obtained on the Way to Work

January 8, 2026

Our client was in an auto accident while on the way to work and obtained a $1,750,000 settlement after suffering a painful left leg injury that required emergency care and follow-up medical treatment. The case demonstrates how thorough documentation of injuries, medical treatment, and the impact on daily activities can support a substantial recovery in a personal injury claim.

  • Client was taken to UMC Hospital (W. Charleston) for emergency evaluation.
  • X-rays were performed on the left leg to rule out fractures.
  • Imaging showed no broken bones but confirmed traumatic soft-tissue injury and pain.
  • Client did not have health insurance at the time of the crash.
  • Despite the lack of medical insurance, the client obtained medical treatment and follow-up care.
  • Case ultimately resolved for $1,750,000 through settlement negotiations.

Medical Treatment Details

The client’s medical treatment began with emergency transport from the scene by ambulance due to acute left leg pain and concern for possible fracture. At UMC Hospital on West Charleston, clinicians conducted a physical exam and ordered X-rays of the left leg to evaluate for fractures or dislocations.

X-rays did not reveal any fractures, but the client was diagnosed with significant soft-tissue injuries and pain, which can still cause long-term functional limitations, difficulty walking, and persistent discomfort. The client received pain management, instructions for rest and restricted activity, and recommendations for follow-up care, which are common components of treatment plans for non-fracture leg trauma.
