ur client broke his shoulder and all of his ribs on one side and injured his knee when a NationsRent truck ran a red light striking our client's car.

After an excellent physical recovery, our client accepted a settlement from NationsRent and their Insurance Company, The Travelers Indemnity Company that he thought was in his best interest. (NationsRent has since merged with SunBelt Rentals). Settlement efforts resulted in helping client invest some proceeds, resulting in the client's future financial security. ** A contingent (%) fee charged on the successful recovery resulted in a fee of $400.000.00 and $85,000.00 in litigation expenses, which were reimbursed by the client out of the gross settlement amount.
