Stuart, Florida Injury Attorneys Win Full Policy Limits in Rear-End Collision Case

At Stone & Capobianco, P.L., we proudly represented Lucille V.H., who was rear-ended on December 23, 2021, while slowing for traffic in Florida. The crash caused heavy property damage to the back of her vehicle, resulting in repair costs exceeding $7,200.

Following the impact, Ms. Hancheck suffered serious neck, back, and shoulder injuries, which significantly affected her quality of life. Although she had a prior accident history, medical evaluations confirmed that this collision caused both aggravation of pre-existing injuries and new trauma to multiple areas of her spine and shoulder.

Imaging studies identified severe conditions, including:

• Incomplete rotator cuff tear in the right shoulder

• C5/6 disc herniation with impingement on the thecal sac

• C6/7 disc herniation with associated annular tear

• L3/4 disc herniation with annular tear

• L5/S1 disc herniation with encroachment on the S1 nerve root

To manage her pain, Ms. Hancheck underwent shoulder and bilateral facet injections under the care of her treating physicians. Despite clear evidence of injury and fault, the at-fault driver’s insurance company initially offered just $15,000.00—a figure that grossly undervalued her claim.

Refusing to accept an unfair settlement, our Florida personal injury attorneys aggressively negotiated with the insurer, providing detailed medical documentation and expert evaluations to prove both liability and the long-term effects of Ms. Hancheck’s injuries.

After persistent negotiations, we secured a policy limit settlement of $50,000.00—the maximum available under the at-fault driver’s insurance policy. This favorable resolution was achieved without the need for litigation, ensuring that our client received timely compensation for her medical expenses, pain, and suffering.

This case exemplifies our firm’s commitment to protecting the rights of accident victims and holding negligent drivers accountable. At Stone & Capobianco, we fight for full and fair compensation for every client injured in Florida auto accidents, whether the crash involves a rear-end collision, intersection accident, or high-impact crash.
