REAR-ENDED WHILE PREGNANT: WHY EMOTIONAL TRAUMA STILL DESERVES JUSTICE
When most people think of personal injury claims, they usually picture broken bones, surgeries, or long hospital visits. But not every injury leaves a glaring scar. Sometimes, the trauma you carry is emotional – and just as life-altering.
That was the case for our client, a young woman who was six months pregnant when she was rear-ended during what should have been a routine drive. The car wreck resulted in her being transported to the hospital via ambulance while she experienced early labor pains.
Luckily, the doctors were able to stop the premature labor, and she and her baby were considered medically stable within a few days. But for the remainder of the pregnancy, our client lived in fear.
Our client sadly lived with the constant anxiety of wondering if the crash had caused unseen & undiagnosed damage or long-term effects. Every kick, every check-up, every sleepless night was showed by the question- what if something is wrong?
The insurance company offered our client $28,000 – which barely covered her medical bills, not to mention the emotional stress of this accident! Why did they offer that low? Since the physical injuries were minimal and the doctors had cleared her, the insurance company believed this was fair compensation. They didn’t factor in the emotional toll this accident played in her day-t0-day life.
That is where we stepped in.
At McCoy & McCoy, we know that emotional trauma is real-and it matters. Attorney Brian Parrott stepped in and fought tirelessly to make sure this client’s experience was taken seriously.
The Final Settlement: $100,000
The full policy limit.
This wasn’t just about money. It was about validation. About negotiating that fear, stress, and anxiety- especially during such a crucial time.
If you have been in an accident, you deserve justice. You deserve to be heard. And you deserve a legal team that won’t settle for less.
