This month, Portner & Shure settled an accident case for one of its
clients for $500,000.00. Our client was a passenger in the vehicle that
caused the accident, which occurred in July 2015 in Virginia. The Uber
driver was found to be at fault because he drove through a red light.
Our client suffered significant injuries, including a fractured ankle,
broken ribs, and a fractured right elbow and right hand. Our client required
surgery to repair his elbow and hand. Even after the surgery, our client
still experiences limitations in the use of his right hand. After lengthy
settlement negotiations, Mr. Portner and the paralegal assigned to the
case, Rebecca Dean, were able to obtain a settlement for $500,000.00.
