The Button Law Firm Helps Young Woman Move Forward After a Red-Light Runner Lies

The Crash That Changed Everything

A young woman’s life was changed in an instant when another driver ran a red light and violently crashed into her vehicle at a busy intersection in Lake Worth. She was making a protected left-hand turn when the at-fault driver, speeding and distracted, ignored a red light and slammed into her car with such force that it spun across the intersection and came to a stop only after the airbags deployed.

Security footage from a nearby gas station confirmed what happened: the at-fault driver blew through the intersection with no regard for the safety of others. The crash left this woman with significant physical and emotional injuries.

How the Wreck Impacted Her Health and Future

In the aftermath of the wreck, the young woman was further impacted when the at-fault driver lied to police at the scene. Because she was severely injured and unable to speak, she could not correct the false account given by the red-light runner. As a result, the negligent driver’s insurance company failed to investigate the wreck properly, and the victim’s insurance company wrongfully denied her claim.

Following the collision, she began treatment for headaches, back and shoulder pain, and muscle trauma. Initial exams revealed sprains to her cervical and lumbar spine, as well as injuries to her left shoulder. As the weeks passed, her symptoms only worsened. She began experiencing severe neck pain, migraines, blurred vision, and cognitive changes. Further imaging and evaluations confirmed she was suffering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Once full of energy and vision, she now found herself struggling with memory issues, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and chronic pain. The most devastating outcome was that her lifelong dream of becoming a pilot had to be put on hold.

Every part of her daily life has been impacted. Activities such as brushing her hair, doing household chores, or working on a computer became overwhelming and painful. She even had to walk away from her job as a remote pilot operator.
