Slingshot Law secured this settlement for a couple injured by a distracted driver traveling between work meetings. Our clients suffered serious orthopedic and brain-related injuries as a result of the crash that followed. Three separate insurance carriers fought us all the way to the courthouse steps, but in the days before trial became more serious about offering fair compensation for the harms and losses our clients endured. The tireless work of Slingshot Law paid off in the form of a settlement that will provide for all of our clients’ future medical and financial needs. Please put your phone down and pay attention to the road so this doesn’t happen to someone else!
