Semi-Truck Accident
An 18-wheeler made a left turn on a red light, resulting in a red light dispute. The truck driver claimed to have a green light, while our client, who was traveling straight, also had a green light. Our client was accompanied by a minor, and both sustained severe injuries. We took the case to court. After further investigation, we identified a key witness who played an important role in establishing liability. The case ultimately settled for $583,000 for the adult and $1,167,000 for the minor.
Rear-End Accident
The insurance company for the at-fault party denied liability. Our client was rear-ended while traveling with two passengers. All occupants reported injuries, and the vehicle was declared a total loss. Our client carried $100,000 in uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) coverage per person and $300,000 per occurrence. Since we represented the driver and both passengers, we were able to resolve the case by securing the full policy limits.
Car Accident
Our client was making a turn when the collision occurred, and the vehicle caught fire upon impact. The other party denied liability. The client suffered severe injuries as a result of the crash. After retaining and consulting with specialists, we were able to determine that the other vehicle was traveling at a very high rate of speed at the time of the collision.
Motorcycle Accident
This was a motorcycle accident involving a commercial vehicle that ran a stop sign. Motorcycle crashes are particularly dangerous due to the rider’s limited protection, often resulting in severe or catastrophic injuries even in lower-speed impacts. In this case, the commercial driver’s failure to stop caused the collision and significant harm
Other
This was an assault and battery case. The client was previously turndown by another attorney. The client sustained severe brain injuries as a result of the incident. Assault cases often involve complex liability issues and can result in life-altering, catastrophic injuries, particularly when there is significant trauma to the head.
Underinsured/Uninsured
There was no bodily injury coverage available in this case. However, the client carried $100,000 in uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) coverage. The client also had pre-existing injuries from two prior car accidents, and liability was disputed. This case again demonstrates the importance of having UM coverage, as the client would not have been able to pursue a claim without it.
Other
This was a slip-and-fall accident at one of the largest retailers in Florida. The retailer denied liability for the incident, and as a result, we filed a lawsuit on behalf of the client.
Car Accident
This was a multi-vehicle accident case. The client changed attorneys due to dissatisfaction with prior counsel, including a lack of communication and failure to return calls. After taking over the case and properly handling the claim, the client was pleased with the final settlement of $90,000.
Wrongful Death
This was a wrongful death case involving a client who was a passenger in a rideshare vehicle. The rideshare driver was at fault for the accident. There were two separate impacts involved in the collision, which was significant because it allowed us to pursue claims for each impact.
Car Accident
This was a husband-and-wife case involving a head-on collision in which all airbags deployed. We were able to recover $180,000 for the wife and $230,000 for the husband.
Car Accident
This was a husband-and-wife case involving a head-on collision in which all airbags deployed. We were able to recover $180,000 for the wife and $230,000 for the husband.
Hit & Run Accident
The client was previously represented by a large law firm in the area but changed attorneys due to concerns about the handling of the case. This was a hit-and-run accident in which the at-fault driver ran a red light. The client was able to photograph the vehicle’s tag number at the scene. We were able to locate the vehicle and identify the responsible party, ultimately securing the policy limits on the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage.
Car Accident
The insurance company for the at-fault party denied liability. This was a lane-change accident, but our client was already established in the lane. Cases like this can be challenging due to potential shared liability. The insurer further disputed causation, asserting that the claimed injuries were pre-existing rather than related to the collision. Despite these defenses, we proceeded with litigation and took the case to court.
Rear-End Accident
This was a rear-end collision in which the at-fault vehicle sustained significant damage. Our client was driving a Jeep Wrangler, and the client’s vehicle sustained minimal damage due to the impact occurring on the spare tire. The client reported neck and back pain, nausea, and headaches, and was diagnosed with whiplash.
Other
This was a trip-and-fall accident in the parking lot of one of the largest retailers. As a result of the incident, the client required surgery for the injuries sustained.
Other
Shortly after the accident, the insurance adjuster presented the client with a settlement offer. The client declined the offer. The adjuster was persistent and indicated a willingness to cover rental and property damage if the client signed a release. The client refused and contacted our office. We always recommend that clients do not sign any documents or provide statements to anyone after an accident.
Hit & Run Accident
This was a hit-and-run accident on I-4 involving multiple vehicles. The at-fault driver was speeding, causing the client’s vehicle to be pushed into a barrier and then struck a second time before the driver fled the scene. The vehicle was a total loss, and the airbags deployed upon impact. Because the at-fault driver left the scene and no identifying information was available, liability could not be pursued against that driver directly. However, we were able to recover the policy limits under the client’s uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. This case underscores the importance of carrying UM coverage.
Car Accident
It was a multi-vehicle accident. The client complained of back pain and had multiple visits with specialists for treatment and evaluation. The client’s vehicle sustained minimal damage.
Rideshare Accident
In this case, the owner of the at-fault vehicle was not the driver. This is significant because it may provide access to additional insurance coverage. The at-fault vehicle carried the minimum bodily injury limits of $10,000, and there were a total of seven claimants. This was a rideshare accident with up to $1,000,000 in available coverage. Liability was disputed due to a traffic light disagreement.
Underinsured/Uninsured
The at-fault driver made a left turn in front of our client, causing the collision. The airbags deployed upon impact. The at-fault driver carried bodily injury coverage limits of $100,000, and our client had $60,000 in uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) coverage. This case highlights the importance of having UM coverage on your own policy.
Brain & Spine Injury
The at-fault driver pulled out in front of our client, causing the collision. The client suffered back and neck pain as a result of the accident. Prior to retaining our firm, the client was represented by one of the largest law firms and received an offer of only $5,252. The client decided to change attorneys because of dissatisfaction with both the offer and the handling of the case. Additionally, the client was not receiving appropriate medical treatment and had not been evaluated by a neurosurgeon, even though the MRI results showed herniations. This case highlights the importance of having an attorney who properly guides clients through the process and ensures they receive the appropriate medical care and treatment for their injuries.
