How did CRM&K assure complete compensation was awarded to a couple hurt in a car crash?
An Etowah County couple, injured when their car was struck from the rear on a rural road, turned to CRM&K when the other driver’s insurance company refused to honor their claim.

We utilized expert testimony to show that serious mental distress and other damages developed from a head injury sustained in the crash. The couple ultimately received their full compensation after CRM&K won a hard-fought appeal in the Alabama Supreme Court.
