September 2024 – $6M Clear Liability Auto Collision

Case Summary:
Partner David Shay and his legal team at Vaziri Law Group secured a $6 million settlement for our client after a high-impact automobile collision. This case involved clear liability holding the defendant responsible for driving at an unsafe speed and causing significant, lifelong harm to the plaintiff.

Facts of the Case:
Our client was involved in a serious collision where the at-fault driver violated California Law, which prohibits operating a vehicle at speeds greater than is reasonable or safe given road conditions. The defendant's negligent conduct directly caused the crash, leaving our client with severe, lasting injuries and an uncertain medical future.

Treatment:
Our client sustained critical trauma requiring multiple surgical procedures to her neck and back. In addition to physical injuries, she suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that continues to require specialized care. Her treatment plan included spinal surgeries, neurological evaluations, and long-term rehabilitation. Further surgical intervention has already been recommended to support her recovery.

Legal Strategy:
Mr. Shay and his team worked closely with medical and economic experts to calculate and substantiate the full extent of her damages. Our client's past medical expenses totaled over $1.8 million, with future care costs projected at $1.4 million—bringing the total economic damages to more than $3.2 million. With strategic litigation and persuasive evidence, the legal team demonstrated not only fault but the full scope of our client's loss.

Pursuing Justice:
This $6 million settlement reflects our unwavering commitment to advocating for those whose lives are changed by preventable, negligent acts. At Vaziri Law Group, we fight for full and fair compensation to ensure our clients can access the care, recovery, and dignity they deserve after catastrophic injuries.
