Chris Geldmacher Gets $225,000 Car Accident Settlement for Woman Involved in Two Car Accidents in One Month

In August of 2018 a woman was involved in two car accidents in one month in North St. Louis County, Missouri.  The woman suffered pain in her neck and lower back.  So, she went to the emergency room, and then followed up with a chiropractor.  Despite multiple treatments her pain persisted.  The chiropractor order MRIs of her neck and lower back.  The MRIs showed disc injuries, and she was referred to a spine surgeon.   The spine surgeon advised her that surgeries for the neck and lower back would ultimately be required relieve her symptoms.  Not wanting to rush to have the surgeries, she explored other options which were intended to delay the need for the surgeries.  She went to a pain management doctor and received injections to attempt to control her pain.  The injections provided her with temporary relief, but the problems always returned. The woman and the spine surgeon both agree that she will eventually require the surgeries that are being recommended.

Since the woman was involved in two collisions in such a short period of time, neither one of which were her fault, the two insurance companies she was dealing with denied responsibility for her injuries, with each blaming the other.  She came to Sauter Sullivan, and Christopher Geldmacher listened to hear story and wanted to help.  Chris was able to bring the insurance companies involved together and make them understand that prolonged litigation was not in anyone’s best interests.  He convinced the insurance companies to pay their full policy limits and obtained a $225,000 settlement for his client.
