Emmanuel Sheppard & Condon Secures $1.9 Million Settlement for Young Mother in Landmark Personal Injury Case
Aug 20, 2024
Pensacola, Florida – Emmanuel Sheppard & Condon is proud to announce a significant legal victory secured by personal injury attorney Benjamin Shell. Shell achieved a $1.9 million settlement for a young single mother who suffered severe injuries in a car accident.
The claimant, a former hair salon stylist and mother to a 9-year-old son, sustained injuries requiring neck surgery that proved unsuccessful. Her initial settlement offer was a mere $70,000, far below her escalating medical expenses.
“The lawyers on the other side threw us some numbers that were kind of a slap in the face with how low the settlement was,” said Lulu Smith, the victim of the car accident.
After two years, Smith switched attorneys to Ben Shell based on a recommendation from a hair client. Shell meticulously built a compelling case and ensured she received proper medical care.
“It’s very hard to tell at the onset of a case how significant the injuries are going to progress because everybody’s different,” said Shell. “For this reason, a fair compensation package needs to help account for those mounting hidden costs of living after an accident.”
The legal battle culminated in a $1.9 million settlement, a life-changing amount for Smith, who faced potential eviction from her mobile home. With the settlement, she has purchased a new home providing a stable and secure environment for her and her son.
Smith expressed her gratitude, saying, “Ben and the team at Emmanuel Sheppard & Condon have been amazing. They held my hand through the entire process and made everything easier.”
