Intersection Collision

The Plaintiff, 54, was operating his motor vehicle through an intersection when the Defendant failed to stop for a blinking red light and crashed into the Plaintiff’s vehicle, forcing him off the road and into a fire hydrant, electrical box, streetlight, and telephone pole.

The Plaintiff was med-flighted to a Boston hospital and was diagnosed with a right hip dislocation and fractured right hip socket. The Plaintiff underwent surgery the next day and remained in the hospital for several days. He was confined to his home for several months while undergoing home physical therapy and then was released to outpatient physical therapy.

The case was mediated and settled for $285,000.
