$835,000 Total Recovery for Injured Motorist Following Rear-End Collision During Work

Our client suffered significant injuries after being rear-ended by another driver in Darlington County. Because our injured client was working at the time of the crash, there were actually two cases: a personal injury claim and a workers’ compensation claim, both of which our firm handled.

Following the collision, our client underwent extensive medical treatment with multiple healthcare providers, including orthopedic specialists, pain management providers, and surgeons. Our client’s injuries ultimately required surgery. 

Although the at-fault driver’s insurance policy provided only limited coverage, our team pursued all available sources of recovery. Through a thorough investigation and aggressive advocacy, attorneys Michael J. Jordan (car accident) and Adam Greene (workers’ compensation) secured a settlement totaling $835,000, with the workers’ compensation carrier agreeing to pay all bills even though we selected the medical providers.

Attorney and Partner Adam Greene noted, “This case was unusual in that the workers’ compensation carrier agreed to pay for all previous medical bills, including surgery, even though the carrier did not exercise its right to pick the treating physicians under the Workers’ Compensation Act. Additionally, despite the absence of notable property damage, we successfully argued the damages aspect to secure $625,000 on the liability side after conclusion of the workers’ compensation case.”
