FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MANASSAS, Va. – Olmstead & Olmstead, P.C. recently secured a $5.2 million personal injury settlement for a college senior who suffered life-threatening injuries in a high-speed head-on collision involving a driver under the influence.
The collision occurred at approximately 70 mph. The impact left the client facing a prolonged recovery, including months of hospital care and rehabilitation. The client’s identity and additional information about the collision, injuries, parties, and settlement are not being disclosed because of the terms of the release.
“We are delighted that we were able to secure substantial compensation for a young person whose life was changed in an instant,” said Timothy M. Olmstead, Manassas personal injury lawyer and partner at Olmstead & Olmstead. “Our client endured life-threatening injuries, months away from college and ordinary life, and an extraordinarily difficult course of treatment. This settlement provides meaningful financial support as the client continues to recover and plan for the future.”
The case required the firm to evaluate the full effect of the collision rather than focus only on the client’s immediate medical bills. In a serious injury matter, the long-term consequences may include continued medical care, reduced earning capacity, interrupted education, and changes to the injured person’s independence and quality of life.
“We fight hard for every injured client because every case represents a real person and a family trying to rebuild after a devastating event,” Olmstead said. “My responsibility as a Fairfax car accident lawyer is to listen, investigate every available source of recovery, document the harm carefully, and be prepared to stand firm when the stakes are this high.”
Olmstead, a Virginia car accident attorney, said the result also reflects the importance of examining how a catastrophic injury will affect a client years after the collision, not simply during the first weeks of emergency treatment.
