On May 30, 2014 Husband was operating his vehicle with his wife in the front passenger seat and they were stopped at a stop sign when they were rear-ended by a driver suspected to be under the influence of alcohol. The husband, an MBTA contractor, sustained some soft tissue injuries to his back for which he received physical therapy treatment, and the symptoms resolved and he returned to work.

Case Results: Attorney Patrick J. Noonan settled his claim for $12,000.

The wife sustained a tear to the left rotator cuff, which required surgery and three cortisone injections. The wife also sustained post-traumatic stress disorder because her son was killed in a motor vehicle accident years ago by a drunk driver and this incident re-triggered that underlying condition.

Case Results: Attorney Patrick J. Noonan settled her claim for the policy maximum of $100,000.
