Our client was a US Postal carrier in her delivery truck crossing an intersection when another vehicle ran a stop sign and collided with her truck. She went to the hospital and was diagnosed with a soft tissue neck injury. A few days later, she developed increased pain, headaches, and vertigo issues. She was diagnosed with post-concussion symptoms in addition to her soft tissue injury. She continued to be treated by various providers, including the National Dizzy and Balance Center for the traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Following the crash, the client could no longer perform her regular duties of delivering mail, which she had done for over 15 years. She tried working part-time but was ultimately forced to retire. Since postal workers get a lifetime pension, the early retirement significantly impacted her future earnings.

The case settled for $280,000 between the liability coverage and her underinsured motorist coverage.
