On February 7, 2020, our client was the operator of a motor vehicle traveling westbound on State Road 80 at its intersection with Crestwood Boulevard in Royal Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, Florida. At that time, another driver was also traveling westbound on State Road 80, directly behind our client’s motor vehicle. As our client was proceeding to make her right turn, the other driver attempted to overtake our client and ended up crashing into the front driver’s side of her vehicle. As a result, our client filed suit against the other driver and his employer, a national pizza company franchisee, due to the injuries she sustained in the crash. The crash caused significant neck injuries to our, which ultimately led to her having to undergo significant medical treatment, including two (2) separate neck surgeries.
The Defendants’ insurance company and their lawyers took the position that the crash was our client’s fault and that her injuries were not caused “due to the low impact nature of the crash.” As a result, our client hired the Bodden & Bennett Law Group to help fight for her rights. After three (3) years of contentious litigation in this matter, the Bodden & Bennett Law Group was able to obtain a significant settlement in the amount of $1.3 million for our client.
