$300,000 Staten Island Car Accident Settlement for Woman’s Neck and Other Personal Injuries

Posted by Editor | Posted in Personal Injury News

A New York woman who suffered neck and back injuries in a car accident two years ago has recently settled her personal injury lawsuit for $300,000. Julia Baldari was a passenger in a Jeep when it was involved in an accident in April 2005, according to a story in the Staten Island Advance. Specifically, Baldari suffered herniated neck and back discs which eventually required surgery when a Ford SUV driven by Thomas E. Roberts went through a stop sign and struck the Jeep.

Baldari originally sued Roberts and the owner of the SUV, Betsy Pabicon, whose insurance policy limit for such accidents was $50,000. Baldari and her personal injury attorney, Michael H. Bush, then filed an underinsurance claim with her auto insurance carrier. Underinsurance allows an injured party to seek damages from his or her insurance company when exceeding the coverage limits of the liable party. According to Bush, an arbitrator awarded Baldari the additional $250,000, which he said was the maximum she could receive on her underinsurance claim.

This case provides another example of the importance of having an experienced personal injury attorney on your side! While personal injury claims can get quite complicated, a local personal injury will have the expertise to proceed with such actions and help you have the best chance of receiving any damages that you may entitled to!
