Case Details
This accident occurred in Madison County, Alabama. Our client was returning home from church when another motorist failed to yield the right of way and turned in front of our client. The defendant motorist told the police officers that our client was traveling at a high rate of speed and ran through a red light. Our client suffered as a result of the crash, our client suffered a broken neck and spinal cord compression. The client underwent emergency surgery and was rendered partially paralyzed as a result of his injuries. The family contacted us while in the hospital. I drove to the hospital and met with our client’s wife the day after surgery. We immediately filed suit. Through discovery, we obtained dashcam video which clearly established that our client was not speeding, had the green light and that the defendant driver had turned left on a red light. After the deposition of the defendant driver was completed and it was clearly established that she was not telling the truth, her insurance carrier tendered their policy limits of $1,000,000. Our client had underinsured motorist coverage of $100,000 and his insurance carrier tendered their limits as well.
