On a fall morning, Mary Jackson* was driving her SUV down the interstate when her life was changed in an instant. A transportation vehicle plowed into her from behind, sending her SUV into a guardrail.
Mary was rushed from the scene by ambulance. Her injuries included multiple spinal herniations and a traumatic brain injury.
Despite the seriousness of her condition and nearly $150,000 in medical bills, the insurance company resisted paying what Mary truly deserved.

The fight for accountability
The other driver admitted fault at the scene and the responding officer determined that the driver’s failure to control his speed was a contributing factor to the crash. But securing fair compensation required more than just proving liability.
Crosley Law filed suit, engaged in discovery, and built a strong case supported by medical evidence. We gathered records from a neurologist, a pain management doctor, and a spine specialist, and documented Mary’s lasting physical and cognitive challenges.
The numbers: medical bills vs. recovery
At the time of settlement, Mary’s recoverable medical bills totaled around $150,000. Insurance companies often argue that this should “cap” a case’s value, but Crosley Law knows better. Needs go beyond merely medical bills, so we fought for fuller compensation.
The result? Crosley Law secured a $750,000 settlement.
Even though Mary’s complaints were largely resolving, we were able to secure a favorable settlement. The recovery ensures Mary has the resources to manage future medical care and help build financial security to support her.
Why fighting for more reasonable compensation matters
This case is an example of how Crosley Law fights back against insurance companies that try to undervalue claims. Even when medical bills seem “low” compared to the true harm suffered, we make sure juries and insurers understand the full picture.
Mary’s story reminds us that every case is about more than numbers on a ledger. It’s about dignity, independence, and justice.
