Phillips Law Group is proud to announce that attorney Montana Thompson secured a $650,000 settlement for two clients who were seriously injured in a rollover collision on the US-60 highway. The case involved both first-party and third-party insurance claims, requiring careful coordination to help maximize the recovery available to both injured passengers.
The crash happened when another driver attempted to change lanes and struck the vehicle carrying the two passengers. The impact hit the rear passenger side of the vehicle in a violent T-bone collision, causing the vehicle to roll over. Emergency responders arrived at the scene, and law enforcement cited the at-fault driver. Both passengers needed medical attention after the crash.
Rollover crashes can be especially dangerous because occupants may suffer injuries from the initial impact, the vehicle’s rotation, and the force of the vehicle striking the ground. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that rollover testing is part of its vehicle safety ratings because rollover crashes are more dangerous than other types of crashes. NHTSA’s safety rating program evaluates rollover resistance alongside frontal and side crash performance.
One client was transported by ambulance to Banner Desert Medical Center for treatment. Her injuries included dislocated ribs, spinal trauma, and persistent headaches. As her physical recovery continued, she also experienced ongoing anxiety and difficulty focusing while driving, showing how a serious collision can affect a person’s daily life long after the scene has been cleared.
The second passenger suffered severe facial injuries, including a deep laceration that resulted in permanent scarring. She also experienced additional trauma from the crash. The vehicle involved, a 2015 Toyota Tacoma, was declared a total loss.
“This was a traumatic event for both clients, and the impact went far beyond the initial injuries,” said attorney Montana Thompson. “Our goal was to make sure they were fully supported and that the outcome reflected what they went through—physically, emotionally, and financially.”
Rollover accident cases often require more than one claim, especially when multiple injured passengers are involved. In this case, Phillips Law Group pursued both first-party and third-party insurance claims. That meant the legal team had to identify available coverage, coordinate competing claim issues, and negotiate toward a result that reflected each client’s injuries and losses.
Through focused advocacy and negotiation, Phillips Law Group secured a combined $650,000 settlement for the two clients. While every case is different and past outcomes do not guarantee future results, this settlement shows the importance of building a clear damages picture and pursuing all available insurance options after a serious crash.
Passengers injured in a crash often had no control over the events that caused the collision. Even so, they may face ambulance bills, emergency care, follow-up treatment, pain, scarring, anxiety, missed work, and uncertainty about what comes next. When a crash involves a rollover, those effects can be even more serious.
After a highway crash, injured passengers should seek medical care, document symptoms as they develop, preserve insurance information, and avoid assuming that only one policy applies. A lawyer can help determine whether the claim should involve the at-fault driver’s insurer, the injured person’s own coverage, or additional available insurance sources.
