How Born & McCaffrey Secured $380K in a High-Speed No-Seatbelt Crash Case

Two cars collided head-on – but their client wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. The client suffered a brain injury – but didn’t require significant medical treatment.

Yet Michael Born and Peter McCaffrey of Born & McCaffrey Injury Law secured $380,000 from a jury. With host Keith Fuicelli, Michael and Peter reveal the plot twists in this unique case, starting at the hospital, when police initially considered that their client was at fault. The story changed when crash data revealed the defendant’s excessive speed. Michael and Peter discuss how they balanced the role that speed played against their client’s lack of a seatbelt. They also share how they delicately cross-examined the defendant so that the jury would not feel sympathy for him.

This case is an example of how even when injuries aren’t catastrophic or clearly documented through extensive treatment, experienced trial attorneys can secure justice. Whether the case involves disputed liability or low medical expenses, strategy matters — as does selecting the right personal injury attorney.
