$840,000 Settlement for Motor Vehicle Accident Victims In this case, Mr. Kohn helped an injured couple recover approximately $125,000 in medical expenses as well as $715,000 in additional compensation for injuries sustained in a collision with a vehicle operated by an army attorney. The defendant pulled away from a stop sign and made a left turn in the path of the plaintiffs' oncoming vehicle. As a result of the accident, the 50-year-old wife suffered neck, shoulder, and back injuries which required three major surgeries to correct. The defendant, represented by the United States government, contended that one of the needed surgeries could not be traced to the collision. After two settlement hearings, the couple was able to obtain compensation for medical expenses as well as the costs of future, necessary surgeries, and lost wages for both the wife and husband.
