Veteran experiences PTSD flashback after car wreck

The Amaro Law Firm had the privilege to represent a United States Army Veteran after he was in a car wreck that left him with a concussion and triggered his post-traumatic stress disorder.

Our client was making his first delivery driving run of the day, when another driver ran through a red light and t-boned our client’s work truck. Our client hit his head inside the truck, blacked out, and did not remember where he was when he woke up. He believed that he was back in combat, and desperately tried to find his helmet in the truck.

When police arrived, our client was confused and had vomited due to his head injury. While our client received treatment for a concussion and post-concussion syndrome, our attorneys worked to make the insurance company compensate our client for his severe injuries.

The insurance company was completely unreasonable, so our personal injury lawyer team filed a lawsuit. We found out that the other driver’s vehicle had failed inspection the week before the wreck and had not fixed her brakes.

As our team prepared for trial over three years of litigation, the insurance company finally gave in and settled the case for policy limits.
