Our client was driving home late at night on I-4 when he was rear-ended by the Defendant. Client underwent two 3 level lumbar radiofrequency ablations and a 3 level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. The Defendant claimed our client cut him off and was the cause of the crash. Our office was retained after initial discovery had been completed and the defense allowed a very reasonable proposal for settlement to expire. We assisted in working up the medical causation issues and overcoming the defense pre-existing injury defenses. We were able to show the physical evidence did not support the Defendant’s liability defenses and were able to get the Defendant to admit liability prior to a Motion for Summary Judgment. After educating the Defendant’s insurance carrier how they had no viable defenses remaining and how they would be responsible for nearly 7 figures in attorney fees because it allowed our client’s proposal for settlement to expire. We were able to resolve the case for policy limits shortly after sending a demand letter. This was more than 10 times the amount our client previously offered to settle for through his proposal for settlement. in order to assist with getting the case ready for trial.
