Collision Case
The Gold Law Firm recently achieved a substantial settlement for a couple who suffered serious injuries when a vehicle slammed into their car while they were waiting to exit a convenience store.
Case Overview
A husband and wife were calmly exiting the parking lot of a local convenience store when a high speed collision occurred in front of them. The impact was so severe that one of the vehicles launched into the air and landed on the couple’s vehicle, causing significant neck, back and shoulder injuries to both parties.
Key Findings
- Defendant’s Fault:
An exhaustive investigation revealed that the wreck was directly caused by the defendant’s improper left turn. Evidence showed that had the driver waited merely five seconds, the collision would not have happened. - Insurance and Pre Existing Conditions:
The defense argued that the accident was due to an uninsured driver’s speeding and attempted to introduce pre existing medical conditions as a mitigating factor. By obtaining five years of comprehensive medical records, our team demonstrated conclusively that no such pre existing conditions existed.
Litigation Strategy
- Mediation Mastery:
With the mediator convinced of the defendant’s fault, we secured a fair and prompt resolution without protracted court battles. - Evidence Driven Argumentation:
The combination of traffic footage, expert testimony on vehicle dynamics, and meticulous medical documentation left no room for doubt regarding liability.
Settlement Outcome
- Total Award: $442,000
- Net Payout to Clients: Over $145,000 after attorney fees, expenses, and medical bills.
This figure reflects the true value of their injuries and loss of quality of life while respecting the financial realities of litigation costs.
Why This Matters
- Precedent for Parking Lot Accidents:
The case underscores that even seemingly minor parking lot incidents can result in catastrophic outcomes if driver negligence is involved. - Insurance Accountability:
It demonstrates how insurance companies may initially deny liability, but thorough investigation and expert testimony can overturn those denials.
