$100,000 Eye Injury Settlement After E-Scooter Accident in St. Petersburg, FL – 2024

On March 14, 2024, our 19-year-old client was riding her e-scooter through a marked crosswalk with a green light at the intersection of 31st Street South and 54th Avenue South in St. Petersburg, FL. As she crossed halfway through the intersection, a driver traveling eastbound suddenly attempted a left turn and struck her. At the scene, the driver falsely claimed to have a green light.

Our client was rushed to the hospital and diagnosed with a facial fracture involving her cheek and left eye area. She also experienced severe pain in her left knee and lower back. Follow-up care included physical therapy and MRI scans, which revealed swelling and a bone bruise in her knee, along with three herniated discs in her lower back.

The defendant’s insurer, GEICO, initially claimed their driver was only 50% at fault due to a dispute over who had the green light. We firmly argued that our client had the right of way and that the driver was fully responsible. After preparing to move forward with litigation, our legal team successfully persuaded GEICO to pay the full $100,000 policy limit to settle the claim.

$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.
