McGee, Lerer & Associates Reaches Settlement for Client Injured in Four-Vehicle, Rear-End Collision

July 23, 2013 - PRLog -- The Long Beach car injury attorneys at McGee, Lerer & Associates were successful in obtaining a $105,000 settlement for a college student who was injured in a four-vehicle, rear-end collision on the freeway in Los Alamitos, Calif. The personal injury firm’s lawyers are dedicated to helping injury victims obtain the financial recovery they are rightfully due after they are injured in car accidents and other incidents caused by the negligence of others.

The settlement was for an accident that occurred on the morning of Jan. 24, 2012. The law firm’s client, a 22-year-old student at CaliforniaStateUniversity, Long Beach, was driving on the 605 freeway in Los Alamitos when the accident occurred. The client was slowing down in traffic on the freeway when she was hit from behind and pushed into the car ahead of her. As a result, that car was pushed into the car ahead of it, leading to a total of four cars being involved in the accident.

The impact from the collision caused the college student’s knee to slam into the vehicle’s dashboard, resulting in a patellar fracture on her knee. On the same day of the accident, she underwent surgery to repair the fracture. McGee, Lerer & Associates was able to reach the settlement within three months of being retained by the client.
