Our client, a floor manager,  was injured in a truck accident when a delivery truck crashed into his car.  His injuries included severe ankle fractures resulting in a fusion of the ankle.  The orthopaedic expert from the University of Virginia believed there was a risk that our client would have to undergo an amputation of his foot in the future.  Our client incurred approximately $40,000 in medical bills and significant lost wages.  Two weeks after a second mediation and one week before trial the case settled for $2,318,000.
