A young woman was a passenger in a car which was rear-ended in Alexandria, Virginia. The force of the impact caused the car to be propelled through the intersection and into a fence. Our client suffered soft tissue injuries  The accident happened while our client was working for a cleaning company and going from one job site to the next. As a result, the accident was also covered by the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act, which paid out client 66 2/3% of her wages and 100% of her medical bills. All told, our client incurred 12,408.81 in medical bills, which after negotiations amounted in a final offer $42,000. The ability to claim wages and medical treatment as part of the Workers’ Compensation claim allowed the client to maintain her standard of living while she received her medical treatment.
