Treasure Coast Car Accident Lawyers Secure $60,000 Settlement in Disputed Liability Case

At Stone & Capobianco, our team of experienced Florida personal injury attorneys recently achieved a favorable outcome for our client, Deborah N., who was involved in a car accident on November 13, 2022. This case presented a complex issue of disputed liability, requiring strategic legal investigation and strong advocacy to establish fault and secure full compensation.

According to the police report and statements, the at-fault driver alleged that Ms. Noble struck his vehicle while exiting a driveway. However, our client consistently maintained that she had already exited safely and was proceeding forward when she was rear-ended by the defendant’s vehicle. Given the conflicting accounts, the matter required a detailed review of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and witness statements to reconstruct the events accurately.

After careful analysis, liability was determined to rest with the other driver, establishing that the collision occurred due to his failure to maintain proper distance and control. Despite the insurance company’s attempts to deny responsibility, our firm presented compelling evidence proving that Ms. Noble was not at fault.

As a result of the crash, Ms. Noble suffered significant cervical and lumbar spine injuries, including:

• Multilevel bulging discs and herniations from C3/4 through C7/T1

• Lumbar disc bulges at L3/4 through L5/S1

Her treatment began with conservative chiropractic and physical therapy, but due to ongoing pain, she later underwent a cervical medial branch block injection to alleviate her symptoms.

Once treatment stabilized, our legal team prepared and submitted a demand for the tortfeasor’s full bodily injury policy limits of $50,000, which was promptly tendered after negotiations. In addition, we pursued a uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) claim, securing the full UM policy limits of $10,000, bringing Ms. Noble’s total recovery to $60,000.

What makes this case stand out is how quickly it was resolved — within just six months of the date of loss — thanks to our proactive case management, communication with insurers, and thorough documentation of injuries and liability.
