Rear-End Collision Case — $25,000 Settlement After Initial Offer of $16,000 in Plainfield, Illinois

This rear-end accident case involved our client being struck from behind while stopped in a designated left-turn lane at the intersection of Route 59 and Pasquinelli Drive in Plainfield, Illinois. The liability of the case became clear not only because our client was rear-ended but also because the defendant driver admitted to police on scene that he was looking down right before the crash and was a distracted driver at the time. After the insurer refused to fairly value the claim pre-suit, we filed litigation and increased the offer by $9,000.00.
