Insurance company pays settlement to Houston resident in ambulance intersection accident crash; back injury with fusion surgery

Steven was driving his pick up truck through an intersection in Houston, Texas, when an ambulance ran a red light and broad sided him.  The ambulance driver was on the job with Enterprise Ambulance.  This company had insurance with Deep South Insurance.

Steven mainly hurt his low back in this crash, and ended up having a back surgery.

Steven hired Vujasinovic & Beckcom to handle his case.  V&B attorneys filed the case in Harris County, Texas.

The insurance company lawyers argued that the ambulance driver had a yellow light, and therefore he was not at fault.  V&B lawyers disproved this liability defense through the depositions of the ambulance driver, her passenger, and the investigating police officer.

Next, the insurance company lawyers argued that Steven was not hurt that bad in this crash.  They hired an orthopedic doctor who said Steven's injuries were minimal.  V&B attorneys disproved this defense through Steven's medical records and own doctors.

V&B lawyers negotiated a $500,000 settlement for Steven at mediation.  Attorney fees were $200,000, and litigation expenses were $28,000.

Awarded: $500,000 settlement; $200,000 attorney fee; $28,000 expenses
