> Last updated: 2026-05-23

[Attorney Kendyl Swank](/attorneys/kendyl-swank/) of [Marzzacco Injury Law](/about-our-firm/) recently won an arbitration hearing conducted in front of a three-arbiter panel in [Dauphin County](https://www.dauphincounty.gov/) in a personal injury matter. The award greatly exceeded the last settlement offer made by the other party’s insurance company and its “[Philadelphia](https://www.phila.gov/)” attorney.

The dispute arose from a motor vehicle crash that happened in 2023 where the other driver failed to stop for slowed traffic ahead of him, striking Swank’s client’s car from behind.

In the hearing, the defense admitted fault, but denied that Swank’s client was injured and that he had suffered any significant damages from the crash. However, at the hearing Swank was able to prove her client injured his cervical spine and suffered for months from pain, muscular tightness and spasms in and around his neck and shoulders. After a full hearing, the panel returned the award in Swank’s client’s favor.

Firm owner [Chris Marzzacco](/attorneys/christopher-j-marzzacco/) said, “Kendyl jumped into this case for us and got an excellent result for our client. As a first-year associate Kendyl continues to do great things for her clients and the firm. She aptly demonstrated her litigation skills in this matter and we look forward to many more favorable for our clients from her over her career.”
