Below are some of Terry, Slane & Ruohonen’s top cases involving broken hips:
- $2,800,000 on behalf of a couple injured in a significant motorcycle accident. Each of them broke several bones, including broken hips, that required multiple surgeries. When we were initially hired, there was concern that there would not be sufficient insurance coverage available. Due to the fact the driver had only a learner’s permit, was being supervised by her grandfather, and lived in a separate residence from her grandfather, we were able to double the insurance limits that were available to this young driver and accessed a third policy.
- $1,500,000+ on behalf of a man whose wheel chair was struck by a garbage truck as the man tried to cross a busy road. The crash resulted in a hip fracture that required surgery and caused the man to lose additional function.
- $448,000 for a passenger in a car that was T-boned at an intersection in Iowa. The woman suffered a dislocated hip and acetabular fracture. She missed a few months of work to allow the hip to heal. Even after healing, she walked with a limp. The woman continued to have pain in the hip and x-rays two years after the accident revealed early arthritic changes in the hip. The case went to a jury. The jury awarded $448,000. This jury verdict was believed to be one of the biggest personal injury verdicts in Des Moines in many years.
