When a Florida-based pediatric nurse named Mary faced life-altering injuries after a car accident, she made a decision that many would consider risky: she rejected a settlement offer of $50,000 from her auto insurer, Progressive American Insurance Company. Instead, she chose to go to trial. Ultimately, a jury awarded her $2.3 million.
This case is a powerful example of why personal injury attorneys need to build a solid, well-documented case. At Integrity Legal Nurse Consulting PDX, we empower attorneys nationwide with the data and analysis they need to confidently represent clients like Mary.
The Importance of Detailed Documentation
The road to a favorable jury verdict wasn’t an easy one. After the accident, Mary experienced significant injuries that impacted her ability to live her life as she once did. Despite the clear evidence of her injuries, her insurance company offered a settlement that was significantly lower than the extent of the damages.
Many clients, under financial pressure, might have taken the $50,000 offer, but Mary’s decision to reject the settlement and pursue her case in court was likely driven by the extent of her injuries. Securing the $2.3 million verdict would have required Mary’s attorneys to understand the important role documentation played in telling her story.
