Morgantown Client Suffers Traumatic Brain Injury

Mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) is an unfortunate consequence of many car accidents. Often times people who are involved in low impact collisions or minor accidents have a headache following the accident which they think will just go away. Unfortunately, often times the headache will continue and will turn into a chronic headache or even a migraine headache. These injuries are related to a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI) and caused by these car accidents.

Mr. Colombo recently tried an MTBI case in Morgantown. This involved a negligent driver who, without explanation, crossed the center line and struck Mr. Colombo’s client virtually head-on. The client developed a low grade headache following the accident and continued to have chronic headaches with occasional migraine headaches following the accident. The client’s treating neurologist testified that the client suffered a mild traumatic brain injury as a result of the automobile accident and the headaches were likely permanent.

The Defendant’s insurance carrier was GEICO. They made a nominal settlement offer prior to trial. After 3 days of trial and just before closing argument GEICO offered their policy limits which were 6 figures and the client’s underinsurance carrier, Liberty Mutual, also offered their policy limits to settle the case.
