Case Example Eye Injury Settlement Amounts

$200,000 Eye Injury Settlement After Golf Cart Accident in Treasure Island, FL

Our client, a 39-year-old advertising executive, was enjoying a night out with friends on Treasure Island when the driver of a road-licensed golf cart made a sudden U-turn. Sitting in the rear-facing seat, she was thrown from the cart and landed hard on the pavement.

She suffered facial injuries, including a laceration near her right eye requiring stitches, as well as a serious hand injury that later required nerve repair surgery. Her front teeth were fractured, and she was told she would need future facial scar revision surgery.

The defendant’s insurance company initially offered just $34,000. But after persistent negotiation and proof of negligence and damages, our firm secured the full $100,000 policy limit. We then pursued our client’s uninsured motorist coverage and successfully obtained another $100,000, bringing her total eye injury settlement amount to $200,000.

$750,000 Eye Injury Settlement After Assault at Business Establishment

While visiting a local business, our client was violently assaulted by another patron, an individual with a known history of aggression. The attack left our client with a fractured orbital bone near the right eye and severe trauma that required four eye surgeries. He also fell into a coma.

We filed a negligent security claim, which was denied at first. However, during litigation, we took detailed depositions of several employees and uncovered that the assailant had a known history of violence and should not have been allowed on the premises.

Faced with strong evidence, the defense agreed to settle. The case was resolved through mediation for a total of $750,000, reflecting the seriousness of the eye injury and the business’s failure to provide adequate security.

$775,000 Settlement Following Lower Back Surgery and Ongoing Neck Pain

Our client was preparing to make a right-hand turn when a semi-truck in the adjacent turn lane cut the turn too closely, dragging the rear of our client’s SUV. The truck driver claimed our client veered into their lane, but our client consistently maintained that the truck caused the crash.

Medical treatment revealed several herniated discs in his neck and lower back. He underwent numerous injections and ultimately a successful lower back surgery. Conservative treatment helped ease some of his neck pain, though intermittent discomfort continued.

The trucking company’s insurer initially offered only $50,000. After filing suit and uncovering key witness testimony supporting our client’s version of events, the case settled several months later for $775,000.
