Engel v Corey
Case Synopsis
Arias Sanguinetti secured a $1.25 million settlement for a woman who was injured in an automobile collision while already managing multiple serious pre-existing conditions. The defense attempted to minimize the impact of the crash by pointing to her prior health issues, but the firm successfully demonstrated how the collision significantly worsened her condition and quality of life.
The outcome reflects the principle that negligent drivers must be held accountable for the harm they causeโeven when a victim is medically vulnerable. Justice doesnโt hinge on perfect health.
