Over $1 Million Awarded to Elderly Woman Struck by Vehicle

When an elderly pedestrian was struck by a vehicle backing out of a parking spot at a Louisville, KY grocery story, she suffered a brain injury, fractures, and other injuries. The accident changed the client's life from an independent, involved grandmother to a nursing home resident.

The most fortunate aspect of this claim is that the vehicle that struck the client was a company vehicle that had a $1 million policy limit. We were able to collect the $1 million limit, the personal liability limit of the individual operating the vehicle, and the underinsured motorist limit available to the client through her own automobile.
