SANTA CRUZ CAR ACCIDENT-DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDENT SETTLEMENT
Santa Cruz, California: During the morning commute in June of 2013, a drunk driver recklessly forced a car driven by our Santa Cruz client off of Highway 17. The car hurtled over the side of a cliff, rolling over multiple times. Thankfully , instead of falling several hundred feet more to the bottom of the cliff, the car became lodged in a tree, where it hung upside down with our client suspended from his seat belt. Our client was eventually freed from the car, hoisted up the cliff on a gurney, and taken by ambulance to the hospital.
Our Santa Cruz client suffered a concussion and a permanent injury to one of the cranial nerves that controls his eye muscles. The drunk driver at fault for the accident was driving without insurance. As a result, our firm’s Santa Cruz personal injury lawyer filed an uninsured motorist claim with to the client’s own insurance carrier and negotiated a settlement to compensate our client for his medical bills, pain and suffering, as well as an amount to cover the possible need for future medical treatment for his injuries.
