Rear-End Collision Causes Serious Injuries to Two Women—Metzger & Kleiner Pursues Justice 

Metzger & Kleiner represented two women seriously injured after their vehicle was rear-ended at a red light in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The incident dramatically impacted the lives of both individuals involved. 

How the Crash Happened 

Our client was stationary at a red traffic signal. Her passenger, our second client, sat beside her. Without warning, another driver, distracted and inattentive, crashed into the back of their stationary vehicle. 

The defendant later admitted she had been attempting to open a cup of coffee while driving at approximately 30-40 miles per hour, which significantly contributed to her loss of attention and the resulting crash. 

Injuries Suffered by Client 1 

The collision caused severe and persistent injuries to Client 1, including: 

• Neck injuries
 

• Severe back pain
 

• Right shoulder trauma
 

• Hip injuries
 

• Pain radiating down her right leg
 

These injuries required extensive medical treatments, therapies, and significant recovery time, dramatically affecting her daily life and routine activities. 

Injuries Suffered by Client 2 

Client 2 also sustained substantial injuries, including: 

• Neck injuries with radiculopathy (nerve pain radiating from the neck)
 

• Severe back injuries
 

• Left shoulder injuries
 

• Abdominal trauma
 

Her injuries, similarly severe, led to prolonged pain, ongoing treatments, and significant interference with daily life and responsibilities. 

Establishing Clear Liability 

The defendant’s negligence in this case was clearly established: 

• She admitted to being distracted while trying to open her coffee cup.
 

• She was driving at an unsafe speed for the traffic conditions.
 

• Liability for the rear-end collision was unquestionable and acknowledged.
 

Given these facts, Metzger & Kleiner confidently pursued compensation, ensuring accountability for the driver’s inattentive and negligent actions. 

Legal Action and Settlement Demand 

Metzger & Kleiner carefully reviewed all medical records, documentation, and impacts on both clients’ quality of life. Based on the severity of injuries and the impact on their daily lives, our firm demanded appropriate compensation: 

• Plaintiff 1: $95,000
 

• Plaintiff 2: $165,000
 

Our goal was to secure fair compensation to address medical expenses, ongoing pain, emotional trauma, and significant lifestyle disruptions resulting from the defendant’s negligence.
