Pennsylvania Car Accident Lawyer 

Since 1981, Attorney Newell has served the legal needs of car accident victims. 

Listed below are summaries of car accident cases that Attorney Newell has successfully resolved.  Of course, each car accident claim must be evaluated based upon a variety of factors - including the age of the personal injury victim, their specific injuries, violations of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code and available insurance coverages. 

The financial compensation that Attorney Newell obtained for one car crash victim does not guarantee the same recovery in another personal injury case.

Pike County, PA

$370,000.00

A Bushkill, PA resident was severely injured in a car accident in New Jersey.  Various types of conservative treatments were used to treat her low back injury - including physical therapy, medications and epidural injections.

Unfortunately, the car accident victim's low back pain grew progressively worse and her treating doctors informed her that surgery was her only option.  A surgeon performed lumbar fusion surgery to remove the damaged disc in her low back.  The PA personal injury victim was left with a permanent scar and a loss of range of motion at the surgery site.

Attorney Newell obtained the maximum liability coverage amount from both the Defendant driver's auto policy, as well as the Pike County resident's underinsured motorist coverage limit.  Her car accident attorney also garnered for her the maximum insurance payments for her medical bills and lost wages.  The total financial recovery for the car crash victim was $370,000.00.

Northampton County, PA

$280,000.00

A couple from the Lehigh Valley were involved in a car crash on Rt. 329 near Bath, PA.  The car accident happened when a car ran a red light, made a left turn and crashed into their motor vehicle.  The auto accident totaled their van and, the force of the collision thrust the wife into the dashboard and windshield.

The personal injury victim was taken by ambulance to St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem, PA.  She suffered from numerous left hip fractures, including a large oblique fracture of the femoral head.  She also sustained a dislocated hip.

Once CT scans and x-rays identified the severity of the car accident victim's injuries, she was taken to the operating room where an orthopaedic surgeon from Bethlehem performed a closed reduction of her left hip.  A short time later, a second surgery was performed to install a screw to hold a large bone fragment in place.

Unfortunately, due to the multiple fracture sites, the Lehigh Valley treating physicians could not stabilize her hip.  The PA car crash victim was forced to undergo a third surgery - this time it was a total hip replacement.

While the Northampton County resident was recovering, Attorney Newell was demanding that the insurance company representing the Defendant pay its policy limit.  They refused to do so and Attorney Newell filed suit versus the negligent driver.  The actions by her car accident lawyer caused a prompt payment of the $280,000.00 - the maximum coverage limit of $250,000.00 from the Defendant and $30,000.00 from her underinsured motorist coverage.

Tioga County, PA

$230,000.00

Three Pennsylvania residents were involved in a car crash in New York.  The car accident occurred when a speeding motorist could not stay in her lane and crashed into their automobile head-on.  One personal injury victim sustained 3 fractures to her ankle, a fracture of her tibia, a fracture of her fibula and 6 broken ribs.  The PA native underwent multiple operations, including an open reduction of her left leg with internal fixation via a rod with locking bolts.

Another 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.  This motor vehicle collision victim 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 underinsured motorist claims against the insurance companies that provided insurance coverage for the auto the personal injury victims were in and also against their own automobile insurance carriers.  Each underinsured motorist claim was settled for the policy limit which resulted in UIM settlements totaling $130,000.00.

The underinsured motorist lawyer wanted to obtain a total settlement exceeding the $230,000.00 payout.  However, one of the car crash victims had signed a waiver of stacking form which, unfortunately, met the requirements of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law.  This signed waiver prevented Attorney Newell from obtaining additional underinsured motorist claim benefits.

Bucks County, PA

$140,000.00

A Quakertown, PA resident was injured in a car accident when a vehicle pulled out from a side street directly in front of her.  The automobile accident was unavoidable.  The personal injury victim was thrown forward with a brief loss of consciousness.  Her left knee also struck the dashboard.

The Bucks County native came under the medical care of an orthopaedic surgeon who diagnosed her as suffering from a lateral meniscus tear, as well as an anterior cruciate ligament tear.  Arthroscopic surgery was performed on the car crash victim's left knee to repair the tears.

Attorney Newell negotiated with both the Defendant's car insurance carrier, as well as her underinsured motorist adjuster.  The PA car accident victim was quite satisfied to receive a total payment of $140,000.00.

Monroe County, PA

$137,500.00

A Bushkill, PA resident was involved in a car crash on Rt. 209.  A distracted driver suddenly rear-ended her vehicle. The car accident victim received care at Pocono Medical Center, as well as from an East Stroudsburg, PA physiatrist.

Since she continued to complain of severe pain that radiated from her neck, an MRI was performed which showed a disk herniation at C5-6. The personal injury victim was referred to an outstanding neurosurgeon from the Lehigh Valley.

The Pike County resident was admitted to Easton Hospital where she underwent two surgeries. The first surgical procedure harvested bone from her hip to use for the neck surgery. The Easton neurosurgeon then cut into her neck and performed a cervical diskectomy. The operations were a great success and her car crash claim was settled for $137,500.00.

To add to the Monroe County resident's problems, he sustained a concussion in the car accident and suffered from severe headaches for a number of months.  Attorney Newell promptly obtained all the medical records and threatened to file suit against the Defendant seeking punitive damages.

The Defendant's car insurance company agreed to pay its policy limit and the personal injury victim's underinsured motorist company also made a settlement payment.  The total settlement for the PA auto accident victim was $135,000.00.

Pike County, PA

$95,000.00

A car accident occurred near Rt. 209 in Bushkill, PA.  A Bushkill resident was driving her car when an oncoming vehicle turned left in front of her.  The car crash victim veered to the right hoping to avoid the collision.  Unfortunately, she crashed into the other car when both motor vehicles were completely off the road.

As a result of this car accident, the personal injury victim flew forward with her face striking the steering wheel - causing her to lose consciousness.  The Pike County resident was taken by ambulance to Pocono Medical Center in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania.  She then began to receive care from a Stroudsburg, PA area neurologist.

A MRI was taken of her neck which showed 2 herniated disks.  The auto accident victim was initially sent for physical therapy with a specialist from the Pocono Mountains.  Due to increasing symptoms of numbness, tingling and radiating pain, it was necessary for the Bushkill resident to undergo an anterior cervical fusion with a left iliac crest autograft harvest.

After her medical care had concluded, Attorney Newell attempted to negotiate a settlement with the other driver's auto insurance company.  They refused to offer any amount - claiming that the motor vehicle accident occurred because the Pocono Mts. resident was driving too fast and lost control of her automobile.

The personal injury lawyer filed suit and extensive discovery took place, including taking the Depositions of the two motor vehicle drivers.  Ultimately, Attorney Newell obtained a $95,000.00 pain and suffering settlement for the car crash victim.
