After an accident on Highway 433 in Slidell, a local mother suffered a painful hand injury that ultimately required surgery and extensive physical therapy. Flattmann Law stepped in after the insurance company began giving the family the runaround, ultimately recovering the full $200,000 available insurance policy limits before a lawsuit ever had to be filed.
Kelly was driving with her husband and children on Louisiana Highway 433 in Slidell when
another driver caused a serious collision. Although her children fortunately sustained only minor
injuries, Kelly suffered a painful and significant injury to her finger and hand during the impact.
The force of the collision violently pulled Kelly’s finger backward, causing substantial ligament
damage. Initially, she underwent stitches, bracing, and conservative treatment in hopes of
avoiding surgery. Unfortunately, her pain and limitations continued, and doctors ultimately
determined that surgical repair was necessary.
Following surgery, Kelly endured extensive physical therapy and rehabilitation to regain strength
and function in her hand and finger. Everyday tasks became difficult and painful throughout her
recovery.
Kelly and her husband initially attempted to deal with the at-fault insurance company on their
own. However, after experiencing ongoing problems and delays involving the family’s rental
vehicle following the crash, they became frustrated with the insurance company’s handling of the
claim and contacted Flattmann Law for help.
Once retained, Flattmann Law immediately began gathering medical records, treatment
documentation, and evidence regarding the extent of Kelly’s injuries and recovery process. We
also worked to resolve the injury claims involving her children, who thankfully sustained only
minor injuries in the collision.
Through careful preparation and negotiation, we were able to demonstrate the seriousness of
Kelly’s injuries, the painful recovery process she endured, and the long-term impact the accident
had on her daily life.
Before a lawsuit ever had to be filed, Flattmann Law successfully recovered the full $200,000
available insurance policy limits for Kelly and her family.
