Attorney James Sabatini Reaches Settlement In Car Accident Case With No Police Report

Attorney James Sabatini recently obtained a car accident settlement for his client.  The accident was a minor fender bender.  There was no police report. In fact, the police were not called to the accident scene. The client saw his doctor for a neck injury about 30 days after the accident.  He had a prior neck injury. He was assigned a 5% whole person impairment. The case settled for $37,500.00.  This result demonstrates that despite having minimal property damage and delayed medical treatment, a good settlement can still be obtained if proper and thorough legal work is put into the case and the client is very credible.
