A young Manassas woman seriously injured in a sudden collision found steady guidance, communication, and renewed stability with Parrish Car Accident & Personal Injury Law Firm after a $100,000 settlement.
What Happened
On a clear, dry evening in Manassas, our client and her boyfriend were driving to his workplace to pick up a forgotten wallet. Traffic was light. A car ahead of them was turning, and as they approached the nearby light, her boyfriend slowed to a stop behind another vehicle already waiting at the intersection.
Our client turned her head toward the window, then looked back—and saw only a blur of red rushing toward them before everything went black.
When consciousness returned, the airbag had deployed and the smell of burning rubber filled the car. Her boyfriend urged her to get out, but the pain in her lower back was so intense she couldn’t stand. She laid on the concrete until first responders arrived. Prince William County Police documented the crash, noting airbag deployment and her status as a passenger. She and her boyfriend were transported by ambulance to the emergency room.
The at-fault driver was insured by Nationwide, while our client carried insurance with Integon General Insurance Corporation and Progressive.
How It Felt
Shock gave way to fear and then to overwhelming pain. Learning she had fractured her L1 and L2 vertebrae only intensified her uncertainty about what the coming weeks and months would hold.
She worried about her mobility, her recovery timeline, and how she would navigate calls, forms, and insurance hurdles while trying to heal. She felt vulnerable and unsure of where to turn after such a sudden and traumatic experience.
