$1.45 Million Car Accident in Victim’s Driveway


McGowan & Associates Reaches $1.45 Settlement for Elderly Woman Hit by a Car in Her Driveway


Attorney: Owen P. McGowan

Type of Case: Car Accident, Personal Injury, Negligence

Date of Settlement: February 2007

Damages: $1.15 Million, plus $300,000 in special damages ($200,000 medical bills and $100,000 for nursing home car)


Case Summary:

Our 92-year-old client was hit by a car in her driveway as she attempted to get into her own vehicle.

Our client broke her leg in three places and was transported to a Boston hospital. In subsequent months, she required extensive rehabilitation. It became clear she would be unable to resume her active lifestyle.

Our attorneys prepared a claim against the defendant driver’s auto insurance policy.

Our attorneys presented a life-care plan at mediation, showing the plaintiff would need assisted living for the rest of her life. Her life expectancy was five years.

In addition to the $1.15 million settlement, our attorneys also negotiated special damages, including $200,000 in medical bills and $100,000 for nursing home care.
