Person A was stopped in traffic due to road construction on a Wyoming highway when another vehicle struck his car from behind, causing a chain-reaction collision that pushed his vehicle into the cars ahead.

The impact was severe, resulting in a totaled vehicle and significant injuries. Person A suffered a head laceration requiring staples, broken ribs, a fractured vertebra, and broken teeth, requiring hospitalization in Colorado for treatment.

How We Helped This Young Man Recover and Move Forward

Phil Meinkoth met Person A in the hospital and worked with him and his family to pursue a motor vehicle accident claim. Our legal team negotiated an $825,000 settlement to help compensate him for his injuries, losses, and the impact the crash had on his future.

Despite the collision disrupting his paid internship and college plans, we fought to ensure Person A received the support he needed to recover and move forward with his life.

“I actually met the client in the hospital after the crash turned his life upside down. His schooling and internship plans were interrupted, but he made a great recovery and bounced back quickly. We were able to secure a settlement that provided the support he needed after the accident.”

The folks at Olson walked me through the process and agreed to take my case. Working with Olson Law Firm has been great! They have kept me informed at every step of the process. Communication is, hands down, the most impressive part of my experience. I hope I’m never in a situation like this again, but if that were to happen, I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again.”
