Complete Defense Verdict in Rear-End Collision Case

Jorge Santeiro, Jr., and Karina Perez, of our Tampa office, obtained a complete defense verdict in a rear-end collision case involving four vehicles. Jorge and Karina represented the rear driver (and his employer), whom Plaintiff alleged was inattentive and hit the third vehicle in the chain so that it was propelled into the stopped vehicle ahead, causing a chain reaction crash and totaling the accident vehicles. Plaintiff, who was a passenger in the third vehicle, underwent separate neck and shoulder surgeries and managed to amass over $150,000.00 in medical bills. He also had a recommendation for future surgery. During the five-day trial, Jorge and Karina broke down Plaintiff’s case through skillful cross-examination and evidentiary arguments. Despite the Plaintiff asking for $750,000.00 in closing arguments, the jury found no liability and entered a complete defense verdict.
