Traumatic Brain Injury - She’s “Okay” - $595,000 Settlement

At Dixie Law Group, we recently represented a young woman who, along with her best friend, was broadsided by another vehicle while driving to the grocery store. Both women experienced a "brown out," meaning they were responsive at the scene but have no memory of the incident. They both were on video at the scene talking to officers and EMS, but had no recollection of it the next day.

The driver was diagnosed with a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), leading to constant migraines, memory loss, and other debilitating symptoms. These issues eventually caused her to lose her job, despite her previously exemplary performance. Despite what the driver’s doctor’s said, the insurance company told us multiple times that she was “okay”. This was not the case, which led us to file her case and fight for her in court.

Justin from Dixie Law Group took decisive action, deposing the medical witness who had initially claimed the victim was malingering and likely had Somatoform Disorder. Justin meticulously proved that the injuries were real and directly resulted from the accident.

He demonstrated this using immense knowledge of the ins and outs of Traumatic Brain Injury as well as aspects of the doctor's own raw data and findings, leading the doctor to recant his original statement and acknowledge the TBI diagnosis. This thorough approach forced the insurance company to settle for $595,000.
