Kohan & Bablove Attorneys Secure $650,000 Settlement in Challenging Skateboard Accident Case Involving a Minor

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.
