In this case, it was necessary for GJEL Accident Attorneys to demonstrate the effects of a serious closed injury on the plaintiff who was already disabled and residing in a boarding care facility.

In addition to evaluating extensive pre- and post-accident medical records, GJEL Accident Attorneys also met with the plaintiff’s primary care physician, as well as residents of the boarding care facility who knew the plaintiff before and after the accident in order to demonstrate the changes in his level of disability and quality of life. The plaintiff recovered $410,000.
