Rear-End Collision Case Results in Six-Figure Policy Limits Settlement
At Stone & Capobianco, we recently represented our client, M.L.R., who was seriously injured in a rear-end car accident in Florida. She was stopped at a red light when another driver negligently crashed into the back of her vehicle. Although the property damage to her car was minimal—only $486.85—the physical injuries she sustained were severe and life-changing.
Following the crash, M.L.R. began experiencing significant neck and back pain. Medical evaluations revealed multiple permanent spinal injuries, including:
-
C3/4 disc bulge
-
C5/6 bulging disc with nerve root impingement
-
L4/5 disc bulge
-
L5/S1 disc herniation
To manage her pain and improve mobility, she underwent a series of cervical medial branch block injections and lumbar facet injections. Despite having a prior history of bodily injuries, it was clear that this rear-end collision directly aggravated and worsened her condition.
The at-fault driver carried a $100,000 bodily injury insurance policy, and through aggressive representation, our legal team successfully secured the full policy limits for our client in less than 14 months.
This case is an important reminder that:
-
Even low-impact car accidents can result in serious and permanent injuries.
-
Insurance companies may try to downplay claims where there is minimal property damage, but with the right legal team, full compensation is possible.
-
Victims should never assume their injuries aren’t “serious enough” to pursue a personal injury claim.
