Victim Of Harrowing Head-On Collision Caused By Distracted Driver Awarded $225,000 in Settlement

Defensive driving is a valuable tool which should be utilized as often as one can. Unfortunately, even the best defensive drivers cannot prevent certain situations. Late afternoon one frigid winter morning, S.K. was peacefully driving straight along a busy city street. In the blink of an eye, he found himself desperately attempting to avoid a disastrous impending collision. The driver of the oncoming vehicle approaching his own had become distracted by loose objects that had dislodged on the dashboard, causing the vehicle to drift into S.K.’s lane and hit him head-on. Quickly transported to the hospital for extensive head injuries and fractures in his hand, S.K. was in great pain. He began to wonder if there was anything he could do and who he could reach out to for help. Referred to Hill & Moin by a close and trusted friend, it was then that he knew where to start. Looking back, S.K. raved that Attorney Eric Wittels was “phenomenal” to work with noting his professionalism, reliability, and patience as primary factors. Never left hanging, S.K. always found himself feeling reassured by the regular updates and ease of communication from staff through every step of his case. With a tenacious and carefully crafted approach, the attorneys at Hill & Moin procured a respectable settlement of $225,000. Grateful to have made it through his traumatic ordeal and newly aided with his settlement, S.K. intends to set his sights on the housing market to invest in owning a home.
