The Padberg & Corrigan Law Firm obtained the $100,000 policy limits from a driver who, while under the influence and while intoxicated, struck another vehicle in Jefferson County, Missouri. As a result of his negligent behavior, the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney charged the driver with 2nd degree felony assault.
The client sustained fractures to her left knee and right wrist, as well as a torn posterior medial meniscus. She was required to use a walker and crutches, and had to undergo extensive physical therapy. She also developed significant scar tissue in her legs.
Because of her injuries, the client incurred medical expenses and lost wages in excess of $30,000. The lawyers at The Padberg & Corrigan Law Firm successfully settled the claim against the drunk driver for his policy limits of $100,000.
