Brad Harris settles Two Major Brain Injury Cases
Brad Harris has successfully resolved two major closed head injury cases in the past few months. Both arose out of automobile accidents. In the first case there was disputed liability. A car hit a patch of ice and came into the path of Mr. Harris's client. Mr. Harris' client's vehicle was unable to avoid hitting the oncoming vehicle causing various injuries, the most serious being a brain injury disabling Plaintiff from his work as a mechanic. Mr. Harris was able to convince the Defense to pay the full policy limits of $500,000 and to get the no fault insurer to pay the victim's wife 24 hours of attendant care after his release from the hospital. She is still receiving 12 to 16 hours of attendant care per day for her care of her husband. In the other case, liability was not disputed but the injury was. After the accident, Mr. Harris' client did not complain of injury, go to the hospital or seek medical treatment until three days after the accident. The man who worked for an automobile manufacturer and later claimed to have a closed head injury which he said disabled him from working at his previous job. The Defendant claimed there was no injury and that the man was malingering. They hired a neuropsychologist who claimed there was not a significant injury. Mr. Harris was able to show the flaws in his reasoning and that, together with the report of the neuropsychologist Mr. Harris hired convinced the defense to pay $675,000.
