Pike County PA                                       $370,000.00

A Bushkill Pennsylvania car crash victim received benefits totalling $370,000.00 due to a car accident in New Jersey.  The Pike County resident was severely injured in the motor vehicle collision.  Initial medical care included epidural injections, physical therapy and prescription medications.

Unfortunately, the pain from her herniated disc became unbearable and surgery was unavoidable.  The Poconos personal injury victim underwent a lumbar fusion surgery to remove the herniated disk.  The Pike County resident was left with a permanent scar and loss of range of motion at the surgery site.

The Poconos car crash lawyer obtained $370,000.00 for the Bushkill, PA resident via the Defendant's policy limit, the underinsured motorist claim limit from her insurance company and the maximum first-party payments available for her lost wages and medical bills.

Pike County PA                                      $350,000.00 

A Pike County PA car accident victim obtained a $350,000.00 settlement as a result of a car crash on Rt. 209.  The Bushkill, PA resident was first treated at Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg, PA.  She was promptly transferred to the Lehigh Valley Trauma Unit in Allentown, PA.

The Poconos resident suffered from a left knee torn meniscus, right hip fracture, right femur fracture, left kneecap fracture and, a left femur fracture.  Many surgeries were required with orthopaedic devices implanted to stabilize the fracture sites.

The car accident victim was an in-patient at Lehigh Valley Hospital for over one week and spent an additional week at a Lehigh Valley rehabilitation facility.  Soon thereafter, another surgery was needed since there was a non-union of the fracture site in her right leg.  The Stroudsburg Pennsylvania car crash lawyer obtained a $350,000.00 settlement by way of payouts from the Defendant's insurance company and her underinsured motorist coverage.  This compensation was the maximum insurance payment available for the Pike County resident. 

Northampton County PA                        $280,000.00 

A Lehigh Valley PA car accident settlement of $280,000.00 was agreed to by a Northampton County resident.  She was a passenger in an auto on Rt. 329 near Bath, PA.  A negligent driver ran a red light causing the motor vehicle accident with her car.  The force of the automobile accident thrust the Lehigh Valley personal injury victim into the dashboard and windshield.

The Northampton County resident was taken by ambulance to St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem, PA.  CT Scans and x-rays identified numerous left hip fractures, including a large oblique fracture of the femoral head.  She also had a dislocated hip which required an orthopaedic doctor from Bethlehem to perform a closed reduction surgery on her left hip.

A second surgery was needed to install a screw to hold a large bone fragment in place.  Unfortunately, due to the many fracture sites, the Lehigh Valley physicians could not stabilize her hip.  Therefore, the Lehigh Valley auto accident victim underwent a third surgery -  total hip replacement.

When the Defendant's insurance company refused to pay its policy limit, Attorney Newell quickly filed a lawsuit.  Soon thereafter, the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania car accident lawyer obtained a settlement of $280,000.00.

Northampton County PA                           $250,000.00 

A Northampton County PA car accident victim obtained a $250,000.00 settlement for his PA auto accident case.  The Lehigh Valley resident was a police officer who was driving his squad car through Bangor, PA when a truck drove thru a red light and collided with the police car.

Tioga County PA                                       $230,000.00 

Three Pennsylvania car crash victims received settlement payments totalling $230,000.00 for the injuries they suffered in a car accident in New York.  The motor vehicle collision occurred when a speeding motorist could not stay in her lane and crashed into their automobile head-on.  One PA personal injury victim sustained 3 fractures to her ankle, a fracture of her tibia, a fracture of her fibula and 6 broken ribs.  She had several operations, including an open reduction of her left leg with internal fixation via a rod with locking bolts.

Another PA motor vehicle accident victim suffered a comminuted fracture to her left lateral orbital rim, a comminuted fracture to her left lateral orbital area, as well as fractures to her left zygomatic arch.  The driver of the automobile had multiple fractures to his fibula which required open reduction surgery with a plate attached to his fibula via seven screws.  He also underwent an open reduction and internal fixation surgery for his right tibia fracture.

Attorney Newell quickly obtained the surgical records and procured payment of the Defendant's $100,000.00 liability policy limit.  He then made UIM claims against the insurance company that insured the auto the Pennsylvania personal injury victims were in, as well as their own car insurance carriers.  Each underinsured motorist claim was settled for the policy limit.  The Perkasie PA car accident attorney obtained a total settlement of $230,000.00.

Unfortunately, one of the PA car crash victims had signed a waiver of stacking form which met the requirements of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.  This signed waiver prevented them from obtaining additional underinsured motorist claim benefits.

A Poconos PA car accident settlement of $115,000.00 was agreed to after a one car crash.  A Monroe County Pennsylvania resident was a passenger in a co-worker's car when the driver lost control of his pick-up truck on I-80.  The passenger's face hit the dashboard even though he had his seatbelt on at the time of the collision.

A Poconos automobile accident victim received a $95,000.00 payout to settle her lawsuit after a car crash near Rt. 209 in Bushkill, PA.  She was driving her car when an oncoming automobile turned left in front of her.  The Pike County car accident victim veered to the right but could not avoid the collision.  

The Pocono Mts. resident flew forward with her face striking the steering wheel and was knocked unconscious.  She was taken by ambulance to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.  A Stroudsburg PA area neurologist had an MRI taken of her neck which showed 2 herniated disks.  The Poconos auto accident victim received physical therapy but symptoms of numbness, tingling and radiating pain increased.

Surgery was required for the Bushkill resident.  She underwent an anterior cervical fusion with a left iliac crest autograft harvest.  After her medical care ended, Atty Newell filed a lawsuit in Pike County versus the other driver.

His insurance company claimed that the accident occurred because the Pike County resident was speeding and lost control of her car.  Therefore, they would not make any settlement offer.  The defense attorney argued that since the crash actually took place off of the highway, the injury victim was at fault for the collision.

Extensive pre-trial discovery took place, including the Depositions of the 2 motor vehicle drivers.  Ultimately, the Pike County Pennsylvania car crash lawyer prevailed by obtaining a $95,000.00 settlement.

Unfortunately, there was no ramp and the Mount Pocono auto accident victim had to abruptly stop his vehicle.  The front end pointed down to the ground and his undercarriage was stuck on the dock.  The store was negligent for not having warning signs or barriers placed to prevent anyone from using the area as an exit.

The Mt.
