Favorable Settlement in Auto Accident-Pedestrian Case

Kendra Therrell, of the Fort Myers/Naples office, achieved a favorable settlement in a case involving an automobile accident with a pedestrian, who was seriously injured. The plaintiff pedestrian was intoxicated when he walked out into the path of a car driven by Kendra’s client. As a result of an early scene inspection with our client, and an accident reconstruction expert, we were able to locate two nearby witnesses. These witnesses were a surprise to Plaintiff, because he had no memory of the accident or of how much alcohol he had consumed prior to the accident. The witnesses included a convenience store clerk who sold the plaintiff groceries within 30 minutes of the accident and observed him to be so impaired that he could not speak and was unsteady on his feet, and a customer at the store who observed the pedestrian walk into the roadway without looking for or observing the oncoming traffic. Plaintiff’s injuries were severe, including a leg amputation and blindness, with past medical bills exceeding $1.5 million. Suit was filed within 4 months of the accident. After an aggressive early defense by Kendra and quick representation and investigation by our team, the Plaintiff accepted $100,000 to settle the case.
