$2.25 Million Settlement for Pedestrian Injured in Crosswalk Accident

The attorneys at Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC represented a client who suffered catastrophic injuries after being struck by a motor vehicle while lawfully crossing the street in a marked crosswalk.

The driver responsible for the collision was insured through Progressive, while the driver’s parents maintained an umbrella insurance policy through State Farm. Our client also carried an underinsured motorist policy through State Auto Insurance Company, providing additional protection following the serious injuries caused by the accident.

As a result of the collision, our client sustained a traumatic brain injury, requiring extensive medical treatment and ongoing care. The injury significantly impacted our client’s ability to work and resulted in a substantial loss of earning capacity. To fully understand the long-term impact of the injury, our legal team worked with medical and financial experts and obtained a comprehensive life care plan to calculate the anticipated costs of future medical care and support.

Through extensive negotiations and preparation, Fitzpatrick, Skemp & Butler, LLC secured insurance policy limits from multiple carriers. Progressive tendered its policy limits of $100,000, State Auto Insurance Company tendered its policy limits of $150,000, and State Farm ultimately tendered its $2,000,000 umbrella policy limits.

The combined settlement resulted in a $2,250,000 recovery for our client, helping provide financial resources for ongoing medical needs, future care, and the lasting effects of the traumatic brain injury.

Settlement Amount: $2,250,000
