Case Results

The insurance company disputed both liability and benefits, but ultimately the case settled for $195,000 on the eve of trial.

Attorney Dumeer represented a client who was injured in a car accident while traveling on 91 southbound in Meriden, CT. Suffering from multiple spine & disc injuries, the Plaintiff underwent courses of physical therapy, treatment with orthopedists, extensive imaging studies, epidural injections, and surgery. She was assigned a fifteen percent (15%) permanent impairment to her cervical spine. The matter settled for a total of $550,000.

Client was involved in a motor vehicle collision while driving for work, when at fault driver failed to stop at a stop sign, t-boning the client. Client sustained injuries to her neck and back with radiating pain into her legs. After considerable treatment, it was determined the client also sustained an injury to her pelvic floor, resulting in the surgical removal of her coccyx. Due to the delay in determining the injury to her pelvis, the defense claimed the pelvic injury was due to a long plane ride and not the accident. Case settled with both the at-fault party’s insurance company and the client’s insurance company for the total available policies.

Client was involved in collision with oil maintenance truck. Oil maintenance truck lost control due to slippery road conditions from snow and hit client head on. Client suffered a closed head injury and concussion resulting in cognitive impairments that caused vertigo, short term memory loss, depression, moodiness, and speech issues. Defense claimed cognitive issues were preexisting and that there was no clear evidence of concussion.

Client was rear-ended in low impact collision while stopped at a stop sign to merge onto a highway. Client sustained injuries primarily to neck that ultimately resulted in client having to undergo an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Suit was filed and defense claimed the client’s injuries and need for surgery were due to degenerative disc disease.

Client was facing charges that included:

1. Felony - Possession of Drug Paraphernalia in a school zone
2. Felony - Possession of Crack/Cocaine with the intent to sell
3. Felony - Possession of a controlled substance within 1500 feet of a school
4. Felony - Possession of Narcotics
5. Possession of Marijuana.

After reviewing the warrant in this case, an issue was found and the case was fully dismissed.
