Earleen Cote and Mark Gaeta, of the Ft. Lauderdale office, received a favorable verdict involving a motor vehicle accident where the Insured was heading the wrong way down a one-way street. The Plaintiff alleged the Insured was going the wrong way when he crashed into him “head-on.” Earleen and Mark were able to show the Insured had been pulled over to the side of the road at the time of impact and that Plaintiff was either intentionally or carelessly the primary cause of the accident. As a result, the jury found the Plaintiff 75% liable and the Defendant only 25%. Plaintiff was seeking an excess of $100,000.00 for past and future medicals and pain and suffering. However, the jury awarded only a small portion of the Plaintiff’s past medical expenses, as well as past pain and suffering, totaling only $3,800.00 after the fault apportionment.
