verdict

$800,000.00 recovery for an elderly gentlemen seriously injured in an intersectional collision. The case involved multiple claims.

After months of negotiations, the insurance company eventually paid $250,000.00 when their policy had no listing for uninsured motorist coverage. This was because Florida law requires the uninsured motorist company to provide a signed rejection of uninsured motorist coverage which in this case the Hartford Insurance Company was unable to do so. Goldberg & Rosen secured the remainder of the settlement from the rental car company and the renter for the at fault party.

Steen v. Encinosa
Verdict
$214,000.00 award
Trial – verdict of $214,000.00. This was a rear-end auto negligence case involving an unoperated herniated disc to the lumbar spine of the 41 year old Plaintiff. Ten years prior to the accident at issue, the Plaintiff had fallen from a helicopter while serving our country in the United States Marines. The defendants in the case attempted to blame the entire accident on the helicopter fall, but the jury didn’t buy it. Specifically, the defendants hired doctors which were paid in total over $450,000.00 in the ten years leading up to the crash. The Plaintiff was able to discover these payments and bring them to the jury’s attention, and completely discredit the expert witnesses hired by the defendants. This case is significant because prior to the case proceeding to trial, the Plaintiff had formally offered to settle the entire case for less than $10,000.00. The insurance company refused to tender, and a bad faith lawsuit is currently being explored, including motions to tax attorney’s fees and court costs for the defendant’s failure to settle.
