Law Firm Secures $1.1 Million for Woman Injured in Head-On Collision

Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm has secured a $1.1 million total recovery for a Wisconsin woman who suffered catastrophic injuries in a head-on collision. The settlement includes the at-fault driver's full $100,000 liability policy limits and an additional $1 million from underinsured motorist benefits.

The incident occurred near Windsor, Wisconsin, when an oncoming vehicle crossed the center line and struck the client's car head-on at highway speed. The client was trapped inside her vehicle for approximately 50 minutes before rescue crews freed her. The collision resulted in multiple fractures to her wrists and hands, a broken ankle, fractured sternum, six fractured ribs, a vertebral artery injury, a collapsed lung, and significant internal bleeding requiring the removal of a portion of her intestine.

Her injuries necessitated three surgeries, an extended period of hospitalization, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. The physical trauma also impacted her ability to work, ultimately leading to job loss. With damages far exceeding the at-fault driver's available insurance, Pemberton's legal team pursued all avenues for compensation.

"When someone has suffered a catastrophic injury, they're trusting us to protect them and their future," said firm CEO William Pemberton. "Identifying every potential source of coverage is one of the most important parts of handling a serious car accident."
