Pedestrian v. Automobile Disputed Liability
Dec 01, 2017OUTCOME: Settled without trial
My Client was pedestrian near a school zone and was ramped into by a distracted driver, needless to say, the accident was avoidable. However, the negligent driver claimed my Client ran across the stree ... t without looking both ways and therefore caused the accident. The negligent driver's insurance thought my Client should not be entitled to full compensation for all the suffering, mental anguish, and medical expenses. We were able to help my Client get the policy limit of the negligent driver's liability insurance coverages and utilize its Personal Injury Protection. My pedestrian Client received over $180,000 in settlement from both 1st Party and 3rd Party Insurances and was able to exhaust all of their respective Personal Injury Protection coverages.
