Settlement in T-Bone Collision
A young Clearwater family of 5 was traveling to see family in the state of North Carolina. They were traveling through a green light when a second vehicle turned left in front of them, causing a high impact T-Bone collision that sent their vehicle into a third vehicle. The operator of the vehicle that caused the accident was a “ride share operator” and was completing a trip with a paying rideshare passenger at the time of the accident. The accident caused serious injuries including a shoulder injury which required surgery to the husband, a bilateral hip injury which required surgery to the wife, and minor injuries to their 3 children. The young family returned home to Clearwater within a week of the accident and needed medical guidance. Roman Austin Personal Injury Lawyers made sure they got the medical treatment they needed and secured a $658,000 settlement for this young family so that they could put their lives back together.

$550,000 Recovery for our Client
A phantom vehicle made a left turn in the direct path of our client’s path of traveling causing him to take evasive action, causing him to strike a concrete utility pole. The force of the impact caused both airbags to deploy and the car engine came through the firewall and into our client’s dashboard and legs.
Our client sustained serious lower extremity injuries, neck, and back injuries necessitating hospitalization, multiple surgeries, and extensive rehabilitation. Because the at fault driver fled the scene of the accident, we presented 2 uninsured motorists claims to our client’s uninsured motorist carriers.
Demand for tender of the first uninsured motorist policy in the amount of $250,000 was made by our firm and was paid promptly. Second demand for the second Underinsured Motorist policy in the amount of $300,000 was made by our firm.
This second insurance carrier denied coverage, based upon a UM rejection form signed by our client. Our firm determined that the UM selection form was fraudulently signed by our client’s car insurance agent. Our firm then filed a Civil Remedy Notice asserting fraud, and the insurance carrier promptly paid its $300,000 UM policy limit within the 60 day time period provided under the Civil Remedy Notice.
This resulted in a total recovery of $550,000.00 for our client. A total victory for our client! Not all law firms check the validity of client signatures on UM selection forms. Our clients can be assured of this attention to detail for each and every case.
