Attorney Austin Dana Recovers $100K on Behalf of Client Injured in Car Crash

July 24, 2023 //  by Keches Law

The image includes a photo of personal injury Attorney Austin Dana, a Caucasian-appearing man wearing a blue suit with an off-white shirt and a red tie. To the left of Austin's headshot, the graphic includes a quote from Austin, which reads "True justice prevails when diligent preparation meets unwavering determination."

Case Resolved 1 Day Before Trial, Client Awarded 3X Original Mediation Offer

Keches Law Group Attorney Austin Dana was recently able to recover $100,000 for his personal injury client who was injured in a car accident. Dana’s tireless advocacy for his client resulted in a six-figure compensation offer – more than three times the insurance company’s top offer of $35,000 at mediation.

“I am thrilled to share the incredible outcome of this case, where the importance of knowing one’s client and case intricately, along with steadfast trial readiness, resulted in a remarkable threefold increase in the insurance company’s offer for my client and a policy limit offer,” Dana said.

How did the Crash Happen?

In July 2018, Dana’s client was running errands with her dog and one other passenger before leaving for a vacation later that day. While driving through Hingham, Massachusetts, the client saw a vehicle ahead that was stopped while waiting for a flock of turkeys to cross the road. She safely came to a stop behind the other vehicle, but a van came around the corner and didn’t stop in time, slamming into the back of the client’s car.

During the crash, the driver’s head bounced off the headrest before rebounding forward again, causing her to sustain a concussion and a neck injury.

Client’s Concussion Symptoms Made Working Impossible

The client chose to continue with her vacation plans, but the trip didn’t last long. She had to cut her trip short due to concussion symptoms, including a pounding headache and light sensitivity.

Post-concussion symptoms continued to wreak havoc on our client’s life, making it impossible for her to work. To this day, the client experiences frequent headaches that interfere with her daily life as a result of the 2018 crash.

Dana’s client initially worked with a different law firm on her motor vehicle accident case, which went to mediation after two years of litigation. The insurance company’s highest compensation offer in mediation was $35,000 – $65,000 less than the company’s policy limit and $25,000 less than the $60,000 the client was willing to accept based on the substantial impact their injury had on their daily life.

Keches Law Attorneys Fought for Just Compensation

When mediation didn’t end with an agreement, the personal injury case was referred to Keches Law Group and Dana in 2023, with a trial date set for July.

Upon taking the case, Dana spent time with the client and her family – even visiting their home. He realized the accident and subsequent injuries had majorly impacted their lives, so he sent a demand to the insurance company for $100,000 (the company’s policy limit) and taking the $60,000 settlement offer off the table entirely.

“The message was, either you pay us the limits, or we will have a jury trial,” Dana said.

Dana’s staunch refusal to settle for less than his client deserved paid off, albeit at the last second. The day before the trial was set to begin in Hingham District Court, Dana received a call from the insurance company offering to pay $100,000 – nearly three times their original mediation offer!

“True justice prevails when diligent preparation meets unwavering determination,” he said.

Dana also noted fellow Keches Law Attorney Matthew Butler was key in helping prepare the case for trial as he previously worked at the law firm that initially handled the case.
