Young Motorist Injures Government Employee

A Fifty-Five year old long term employee of the IRS was injured in a motor vehicle accident in February 2011. She was returning home from work when a young driver was trying to follow his girl friend in another car in an unfamiliar area. Not wanting to drop behind and lose his way, he made a left turn running through first a yellow and then also a red light in Fresno County. Unfortunately, the IRS worker was entering one of the intersections at the same time. A violent collision occurred and she sustained a fractured leg and foot. She contacted her insurance carrier and was advised they would not help her because it was the other driver’s fault. Frustrated she called The Dunnion Law Firm. They immediately went to work and obtained a full policy limits settlement of $50,000.00 from the adverse driver. Then they contacted her own carrier, who originally refused to help, and forced them to pay an additional $50,000.00 in damages for her pain and suffering. Her total recovery was $100,000.00.
