Type of Case: Personal injury, traumatic brain injury

Court: Augusta County Circuit Court

Attorney: Steven P. Hammond, Charlottesville

Summary: Vickie Johnson-Rankin was a passenger in a pickup truck when a drunken driver crossed to her side of a neighborhood street and struck the pickup head on in Stuarts Draft.

The 40-year-old mother of two had a sore back and neck immediately after wreck and in the next month developed mood swings and made multiple errors in her job as a mortgage loan processor. A neuropsychiatrist testified that she will never be able to hold a full-time job as a result of the brain injury.

The same company had a policy on the defendant with a limit of $100,000 and underinsurance coverage of $500,000 on Johnson-Rankin’s vehicle. The case was tried with a high-low agreement of $450,000 and $100,000.
