Miller Law
DUI-Related Motor Vehicle Accident
After being struck by a drunk driver, our client initially accepted a $25,000 settlement and signed a release. Later, she discovered the extent of her injuries, which included head trauma and nerve damage, and was left without sufficient compensation.
We successfully challenged and overturned the release and negotiated a new settlement of $180,000 to reflect her actual damages and long-term care needs.
Using principles of contract law, we argued the release was signed under false pretenses and without full medical disclosure. Our team gathered medical expert reports and filed a motion to void the agreement, reopening the case where others would have walked away.
