Kohan & Bablove, a leading personal injury law firm in Southern California, announced today that they have successfully secured a $650,000 settlement for a 13-year-old client who suffered a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) after being struck by a vehicle while skateboarding. This settlement amount is more than double the initial offer made by the defense.

The accident occurred in Newport Beach when the young plaintiff was hit by a vehicle exiting an alley. Although he was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, the police report did not mention any loss of consciousness. The plaintiff was able to call his parents before an ambulance arrived, and initial ER records were also silent regarding loss of consciousness. A CT scan showed no objective signs of injury.

However, in the year following the accident, the plaintiff experienced severe academic problems. The defense attempted to attribute these issues to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Kohan & Bablove lawyers, however, successfully argued that these academic challenges directly resulted from the mTBI sustained in the accident.

Kohan & Bablove, LLP has once again proven their expertise in dealing with personal injury cases involving minors. They understand the unique challenges these situations present, especially when injuries are not immediately visible or tangible. Through their meticulous approach and commitment to their client's rights, they have successfully navigated a complex situation to reach a resolution that serves their client’s best interests.

"Our client's academic struggles provided a tangible measure of the harm caused by the mTBI," said a representative of Kohan & Bablove. "Despite the lack of objective signs of injury and the presence of social media posts showing our client engaged in vigorous activities, we were able to establish a clear link between the accident and the subsequent academic difficulties."

This case highlights Kohan & Bablove's commitment to pursuing justice for their clients, regardless of the complexities and challenges involved. The firm's attorneys leveraged their extensive experience and knowledge in personal injury law to secure a favorable outcome for their young client.

"We are pleased with this settlement, which will go a long way in helping our client and his family cope with the consequences of this unfortunate accident," said the Kohan & Bablove representative. "This case underscores the importance of thorough investigation and aggressive representation in personal injury cases, especially when they involve minors."

This case also underscores the significance of understanding and acknowledging the long-term effects of accidents like this one, which may not be immediately apparent. The young client's life was disrupted, not only physically but also acadically, affecting his overall well-being and future prospects. The settlement secured will help ease the financial burden of potential future treatments and support needed for him to regain his academic standing.
