Woman Sues Insurance Company after Car Accident – Award: $375,000

Clorece Weir v. Gager


Clorece injured her thumb in an automobile accident and developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD).  RSD is a painful, debilitating nerve condition that often has no effective treatment.  It can result in clawing of the fingers and intense, constant pain.  For three years the insurance company offered no money because of a two-month delay in hand complaints after the accident, even though it is not uncommon for hand symptoms to develop slowly.

Persistence prevailed, however, as a $375,000.00 settlement was reached just prior to trial.
