Additional Notes

34 year old Florida Resident was driving a pickup truck in Broward County. The single lane in which our client was traveling merged with another lane of travel to her left. The other lane of traffic to her left had a yield sign and the vehicle to her left failed to yield to her pickup truck on the right, striking the drivers side rear of our client's vehicle with the front passenger side of his vehicle. The resulting damage was less than $2,000.00. Following the accident, the client complained of low back pain resulting in two years of treatment and a single level discectomy and fusion in her low back. Our client admitted she was not wearing her seatbelt and the defendant claimed that these injuries could not have occurred from this collision and if they did, it was the result of our client's failure to use an available seatbelt. Additionally, the defendant refused to admit fault and claimed our client must have been speeding, as he never saw her until the collision.
