Nasal Fracture Deviated Septum: In 2015 our 20 year old female client was traveling as a front-seat passenger in a Jeep. The roads were covered in snow and ice. The driver intentionally started drifting his Jeep when he lost control and crashed into a tree. Client struck her face on the dashboard and her nose started bleeding instantly. Rather than drive the client to the hospital the 21 year old driver proceeded to drive to a new years eve party. Upon arriving at the party the driver told the client to stay in the car. Several minutes later he exited the house with some tissues and got back in his jeep. He gave the client the tissues and then proceeded to drive the client to her house. It took the driver 45 minutes to get to the client’s house. On the drive they passed a Hospital but the driver did not bother bringing the client to the emergency room. Instead he dropped her off at her home and then he left. During the course of his investigation Attorney Brendan J. Noonan learned that the driver had been drinking earlier in the day. Attorney Noonan also worked with an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist to document the nature and extent of the nasal fracture and deviated septum injury. The client incurred $3,500 in medical expenses.
Case Results: Attorney Brendan J. Noonan was able to negotiate a settlement.
