The Law Firm of Dussault and Zatir Settles an Auto Accident Claim for $320,000
PROVIDENCE, R.I., Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A Dussault and Zatir client was a passenger in a motor vehicle that was involved in an intersection auto accident. According to a law in Massachusetts, a passenger in a motor vehicle sustains no liability when an accident occurs. Furthermore, because the operators of both motor vehicles involved in the accident each incurred some fault for the accident, a client was able to seek "joint-tort contribution" from both insurance policies for the injuries sustained, which enables a client to be adequately compensated.
The client was a minor who sustained serious hip injuries in this accident. The Dussault and Zatir client did undergo extensive surgery and was initially hospitalized for nearly a week following the accident. After months of physical therapy and examinations by the orthopedic surgeon, the client did achieve a near pre-accident injury status. Fortunately, the Dussault and Zatir client is doing extremely well and is able to go about daily activities and life without residual effects from the accident. After intense negotiations with both insurance companies, a fair settlement was finally achieved in the amount of $320,000.00. Due to the age of the client, the settlement required judicial approval to ensure that it was fair and in the best interest of the minor.
Ultimately, a judge did approve the settlement; both Dussault and Zatir and the client's family are extremely satisfied with the outcome of this case.
Dussault and Zatir is a personal injury law firm which serves the Massachusetts and Rhode Island areas.
