Bringardner Injury Law Firm in Charleston has secured a landmark $17,052,000 settlement for a 56-year-old former emergency room nurse practitioner who was catastrophically injured in a head-on collision. This settlement reflects the relentless commitment and legal prowess of the firm’s owner and managing attorney, Mark Bringardner.
On June 5, 2021, the life of a vibrant and active client changed forever. She was driving home when a reckless driver, impaired by a cocktail of drugs, crossed the center line and struck her head-on at approximately 55 mph. This collision was not the defendant’s first offense; it marked his fourth or fifth DUI. The severity of the crash resulted in catastrophic injuries, leaving our client with multiple fractures and a future filled with pain and ongoing medical challenges.
The devastating impact of the collision resulted in multiple fractures in her back, ribs, and leg. She underwent five surgeries and continues to face a series of medical procedures. In addition to her physical injuries, she suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety, profoundly impacting her quality of life.
She spent four grueling months in the hospital and rehabilitation facilities. Unable to work and now entirely disabled, she relies on a walker or cane to navigate her daily life.
Bringardner Injury Law Firm worked tirelessly to secure justice for our client. Despite confidential details surrounding many details of the case, their dedication resulted in a substantial settlement of $17,052,000. This amount includes past and future medical expenses, lost income, and compensation for pain and suffering.
The settlement not only provides compensation and financial relief, but also sends a powerful message about the value of fairly compensating catastrophic injuries. The significant settlement underscores the firm’s ability to navigate complex legal landscapes and achieve justice for their clients.
“We are humbled by the trust our client placed in us during this difficult time,” said Mark Bringardner. “While no amount of money can fully compensate for the profound changes in her life, we hope this settlement provides some level of comfort and security for her future.”
