Ted Liggett was hired to represent a man in his mid 20s who suffered catastrophic injuries in a Motor Vehicle Accident. This young man sustained damage to his entire body, the worst of which resulted in the loss of a leg above the knee.
Ted’s client had stopped his pickup for traffic, preparing to turn onto a side road. While stopped, he was suddenly and unexpectedly hit from behind. He was struck by a gentleman who was traveling well beyond the speed limit and who was distracted by talking on his cell phone. The force of the blow forced the pickup into oncoming traffic, where it was struck a second time from the front by an 18-wheeler.
The client lay in a coma for a length of time before regaining consciousness. Subsequently, he endured months of rehabilitation. Finally he was fitted with a prosthetic leg and released from his doctors’ care. Initially, the defendant insurance company failed to properly evaluate the case. Suit was filed and months of intense litigation ensued. Ultimately, Ted’s tireless work led to a settlement prior to trial in the amount of $3,000,000.00.
Total Recovery: $3,000,000.00
