Motor Vehicle Accident

$20 million / Premises Liability / Wrongful Death / Pasco County, FL

$11,100,000 / Motorcycle Accident / Brain Injury / Brevard County, FL

Our firm's recent jury verdict illustrates the importance of drivers being diligent in watching out for motorcyclists.

Our client was riding his motor scooter on the Melbourne Causeway (US 192) when he was rear ended by the at-fault driver. He sustained a traumatic brain injury resulting in severe brain damage. He had over $800,000 in medical bills and had significant limitations as a result of the brain injury.

We took the case to trial because the insurance carrier did not act fairly.
On the evening of August 11, 2011, a Brevard County jury rendered a verdict in favor of our client for just under $15 million dollars. The jury found that our client was 25% comparatively negligent for not wearing a helmet. Thus, the net verdict was over $11.1 million dollars. We hope that this verdict will enable our client to receive the medical treatment and continual care which he needs for the duration of his life.

Motorcycle Accident

$11,100,000 / Motorcycle Accident / Brain Injury / Brevard County, FL

Our firm's recent jury verdict illustrates the importance of drivers being diligent in watching out for motorcyclists.

Our client was riding his motor scooter on the Melbourne Causeway (US 192) when he was rear ended by the at-fault driver. He sustained a traumatic brain injury resulting in severe brain damage. He had over $800,000 in medical bills and had significant limitations as a result of the brain injury.

We took the case to trial because the insurance carrier did not act fairly.
On the evening of August 11, 2011, a Brevard County jury rendered a verdict in favor of our client for just under $15 million dollars. The jury found that our client was 25% comparatively negligent for not wearing a helmet. Thus, the net verdict was over $11.1 million dollars.
