At MAS Law, we believe injured victims deserve fair compensation, not lowball settlement offers. When defendants refuse to pay what a case is worth, our team is prepared to take the fight to court.
Recently, MAS Law Shareholder, Mohammad Said, and his team secured a $400,000 jury verdict for a client injured in a collision involving a driver for a food service company.
The Case
Before trial, the food service company stipulated to liability and agreed its driver was acting within the course and scope of employment at the time of the crash. As a result, the primary issues presented to the jury were whether the collision caused the client's injuries and the amount of damages they should receive.
Following the collision, our client experienced injuries that required ongoing medical treatment. Despite pursuing multiple treatment options, his symptoms continued, ultimately leading to more advanced medical intervention.
The defense challenged the nature and extent of the client's claimed injuries and damages. Mohammad Said and his team presented evidence demonstrating the impact the collision had on the client's life and future needs.
Standing Firm Against a Low Offer
Prior to trial, MAS Law demanded $265,000 to resolve the case.
The defense's final official settlement offer was just $50,000.
Rather than accepting an offer that failed to reflect the client's losses, Mohammad Said and his team prepared for trial and put the case before a jury.
The Verdict
After a three-day trial, the jury awarded a $400,000 verdict for:
- Past Medical Expenses
- Future Medical Expenses
- Past Physical Pain
- Future Physical Pain
- Past Mental Anguish
- Future Mental Anguish
- Past Physical Impairment
- Future Physical Impairment
Including prejudgment interest through August 31, 2026, the proposed recovery exceeds $441,000, plus taxable court costs and post-judgment interest. This makes the verdict more than eight times greater than what the defense’s final official offer was.
Fighting for the MAX
Insurance companies and corporate defendants often attempt to minimize injury claims by focusing on preexisting conditions, delayed treatment, or other factors they believe will reduce the value of a case.
At MAS Law, we know every case has a story, and every client deserves an advocate willing to stand up for them when a settlement offer falls short.
This result is a reminder that when the evidence supports it, taking a case to trial can make all the difference.
