The day of Greg’s accident started out like any other—never would he have expected that later that day he would be needing emergency medical attention because of a careless driver.
Greg was stopped at a light on a country road, waiting for the light to change. Suddenly, he was struck from behind by distracted driver. The other driver had looked away from the road and turned around to find Greg’s car stopped in front of her—and it was too late to stop.
Although the distracted driver attempted to swerve out of the way, her vehicle still hit the back of Greg’s work truck. Both vehicles took serious damage, but, luckily, both Greg and the other driver made it out alive.
After filing a police report, Greg was taken to the hospital for emergency medical treatment for his injuries. Afterwards, Greg needed to see an orthopedic specialist. It was here he discovered the true extent of his injuries and just how on-hold the crash would put his life.
Multiple Injuries and Medical Tests Affect Greg’s Work and Financial Stability
Through a series of tests, including multiple MRIs and an X-ray, the doctors identified his neck and lower back pain as a lumbosacral strain. As a professional roofer, his injury would keep him from performing his everyday work duties, meaning lost wages on top of medical bills.
To make matters more complicated, these injuries weren’t a quick fix. Greg needed to attend physical therapy sessions to help him heal. His physical therapy sessions ended up costing him thousands and took time away from his career. On top of that, there were thousands of dollars in medical bills from his emergency room visit waiting to be paid.
Greg knew he needed help, but he wasn’t sure who was the right attorney for his case. After an unsatisfactory experience with another personal injury attorney, he decided to contact Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys for help.

The Andy Citrin Team Works to Straighten Out Greg’s Case
After seeing the details of Greg’s case, it was clear that the distracted driver was at fault for the accident. Through the police report, our team noted that the driver at fault was not keeping a look out or operating a vehicle as expected by the law. We knew she was negligent and were responsible for Greg’s injuries.
What made Greg’s otherwise straightforward case complicated was the work his first legal team did on his behalf. Our team went straight to work correcting the issues Greg’s previous attorneys had created, working against a ticking clock. Through the entire process, we worked closely with Greg to make sure he understood the details and tactics we used to help him with his case.
“If anyone need a real down-to-earth lawyer, Mr. John is the real deal. He’s always going to be honest with you, no matter what the situation may be,” Greg notes.
After a series of hearings, our team won Greg $25,000 in compensation. This settlement helped relieve the stress and pressure of his medical bills and lost wages so he could focus on getting his life back on track.
