Case Type: Car Accident / Personal Injury

Location: Colorado Springs, CO

Result: $550,000 Full Available Policy Limits

Timeline: 2 Years

The Situation

She was in her 20s, on the clock at work, when a car accident changed everything. What followed was a spinal surgery she never expected to need and a recovery that would affect her for the rest of her life.

She’d never been in an accident before. She didn’t know what her prognosis looked like, how to talk to an insurance company, or how to even begin building a case. To make things more complicated, because the accident happened while she was working, her claim also involved a Workers’ Compensation component. Most injury victims never have to navigate that, let alone while recovering from major surgery.

How We Helped

At Schofield & Green Law, we started by getting to know her, not just her case, but her life. We built a clear picture of exactly how this accident was affecting her day-to-day, and we used that picture to show the insurance companies the true, human cost of what happened to her.

The case required untangling both a personal injury claim and a Workers’ Compensation claim at the same time, which demanded careful strategy and constant attention to detail. We handled every part of it, so she could focus on healing.

The Result

We negotiated the case to a full policy limits settlement of $550,000, which is the maximum available compensation.

More than the number, this result gave her something she couldn’t put a price on: financial stability and the ability to move forward with her life instead of being defined by what happened to her.

“It was a large settlement for a very deserving and sweet client. We were grateful to be able to help her tell her story.”
