Driver Struck by Vehicle Changing Lanes

A young woman was driving down the street in a southern Indiana town when she was struck on the driver’s side by a vehicle suddenly attempting to change lanes without checking for nearby traffic and slammed into her.  The young woman had previous hip surgery and was still recovering.  The collision worsened her condition and caused the need for additional hip surgery and extensive follow-up care including physical therapy, injections, and a spinal cord stimulator for pain relief.  The case was first settled with the insurance company for the at-fault driver, and then later WKW attorney Bill Winingham pursued and settled with the young woman’s own insurance carrier with a claim for payment of underinsured motorist benefits.
