T-Bone Collision with Commercial Vehicle – Miami-Dade County, FL
Date of Incident: 2023
Result: $225,000 Settlement. Significant recovery after disputed liability allegations.
Case Summary:
In 2023, our client was involved in a T-bone collision in Miami-Dade County with a commercial vehicle that suddenly exited the shoulder of the roadway. The impact of the crash caused severe injuries that required extensive medical treatment.
The at-fault driver’s insurance company attempted to blame our client for causing the crash by alleging excessive speed. Faced with these accusations, our client retained Bodden & Bennett Law Group to pursue justice and compensation.
Outcome:
Our attorneys filed a lawsuit and litigated the case for several months. During the litigation process, the attorneys at Bodden & Bennett Law Group were able to discredit the commercial driver’s version of events and challenge the insurance company’s defenses.
As a result, the insurance company made a significant settlement offer of $225,000, which was more than nine times the original settlement offer.
Legal Takeaway:
Commercial vehicle cases often involve aggressive attempts to shift blame onto injured victims. Thorough investigation and strategic litigation can expose inaccurate claims and lead to substantial recoveries.
