Coates Law Office Secures $1.25 Million Settlement in DUI-Related Crash Case

Attorney Brad Coates of Coates Law Office has successfully negotiated a $1.25 million settlement for a client who suffered life-threatening injuries in a DUI-related crash in Londonderry, New Hampshire. This settlement, the maximum available under the defendant's insurance policy, marks a significant victory for the victim, who endured multiple fractures and internal injuries, requiring extensive medical treatment including surgeries, hospitalization, and rehabilitation.

The incident, which took place on March 11, 2023, involved a head-on collision caused by a driver under the influence. The severity of the injuries sustained by the client and the circumstances of the crash underscored the devastating consequences of impaired driving. The defendant in this case faced criminal charges, resulting in a jail sentence, further emphasizing the legal consequences of such reckless behavior.

This case serves as a critical reminder of the importance of legal representation for victims of DUI crashes. The full policy limit settlement not only provides the victim with the necessary financial support for recovery but also demonstrates the effectiveness of the legal strategy employed by Coates Law Office. It highlights the role of the justice system in addressing the aftermath of impaired driving and the potential for significant financial repercussions for those found responsible.

The settlement and the circumstances surrounding the crash have broader implications for both the legal and insurance industries, as well as for public safety. It underscores the need for continued vigilance against impaired driving and the importance of securing adequate legal representation for victims seeking justice and compensation for their injuries.
