$2.25 Million Dollars Damages Awarded to Victim of Auto Accident

This case occurred in the streets of Miami-Dade County where the Defendant was a distracted driver, either looking at his cell phone or failing to pay attention when he ran a red light, striking the Plaintiff in a T-bone crash. The Plaintiff’s vehicle flipped and the Plaintiff suffered serious injuries requiring hospitalization and surgery. The Defendant driver had $2.25 million dollars of insurance coverage and after intense negotiations, the insurance carrier was forced to pay its policy limits, recognizing that the case had a larger value in front a jury. The money has been used to purchase a home for the injured Plaintiff, provide medical care and schooling for his children.
