BenGlassLaw Lawyers Settle Case for Car Accident Case that Happened on a Busy Street in Albemarle County
Our client was involved in a severe traffic accident on Rio Road, a popular and bustling street in Albemarle County, Virginia. She was struck on the driver’s side by another vehicle, leading to significant injuries. The impact of the collision was severe enough to cause a traumatic brain injury.
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) in the context of a car accident is a severe, often life-altering injury that occurs when an external force, such as a collision, causes brain dysfunction. During an accident, the brain may collide against the skull, or the sudden jolt can cause the brain to move within the head, potentially leading to bruising, tearing of nerve fibers, or swelling. The impact can disrupt normal brain function, resulting in symptoms ranging from mild (such as headaches, confusion, blurred vision) to severe (such as unconsciousness, amnesia, and permanent cognitive impairment). The severity and impact of a TBI can vary widely depending on the accident’s force and the individual’s health condition at the time of the trauma.
Medical Emergency and Treatment
Following the accident, our client was diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage—an acute condition involving bleeding into the space surrounding the brain, which can lead to significant pressure on brain tissues and is potentially life-threatening. She was rushed to UVA University Hospital for emergency treatment. Thanks to the prompt and expert care she received, she made a speedy and full recovery, allowing her to resume her normal life.
Legal Challenges and Resolution
Initially, State Farm ignored our demand for compensation for three months. Determined to secure justice for our client, we filed a lawsuit to address the negligence involved. The legal process underscored the insurance company’s initial reluctance to respond appropriately, but our persistence ensured a favorable outcome for our client.
