Roman Austin Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers recently obtained a $3,000,000 judgment for a client who was struck by a Pinellas County school bus. Our client, a 44-year-old woman, was walking to her job and as she walked through the crosswalk at the intersection of Curlew Road and US-19, a Pinellas County-owned school bus struck her and rolled over her with its rear wheels.

Brain Injury Victim Secures $2.25 Million After Four-Year Liability Dispute


An event occurred which resulted in our client's head hitting the pavement on a quiet, residential street outside of his home. That day, he ended up unconscious, in a pool of his own blood on the roadway. First responders took him to the hospital, where he was found to have hemorrhaging in his brain from a skull fracture. From there he spent 2.5 weeks in a drug induced coma to help him heal from the injury to his brain. It was found by medical personnel that the client had suffered a severe traumatic brain injury that took years for the client to recover from. Unfortunately, for the client, he never fully recovered and still has ongoing permanent cognitive difficulties.
The only person to witness this incident was a delivery driver who called in the event to the police. For four years, the Defendants in this case stated that they did nothing wrong to cause this severe injury and that our client had tripped over himself causing him to fall on the ground. The police officers in the case believed the Defendants and did nothing to investigate the case further. The insurance company offered $0.00 during those four years and pointed the finger at our client as the cause of his own injuries.
After pouring hundreds of hours of legal work into the case, our team was able to find that the story of the Defendants was far from the truth. It was found that the story changed over the years, from the original 911 call, to body worn camera, to the answers to interrogatories, and to the sworn deposition testimony of the driver of the van. After attorney Miles Hickman put all the evidence together in the case, the insurance company realized that they were on the wrong side of the coin, as it was clear that their own insured was hiding the truth of what happened. It was clear that the vehicle driven by the defendant had struck our client, causing him to fall and hit his head.
On the eve of trial, the insurance company for the first time acknowledged the severity of the injury caused by their insured and settled the case for over $2 million.

At the hospital he was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit as his condition continued to deteriorate to the point of septic shock.

The client’s own insurance company initially denied liability in covering the incident, but eventually the team at Roman Austin was able to collect over seven figures in insurance benefits from the client’s insurance.

When he awoke from his coma, he had to learn to talk, walk and eat again. The at-fault party’s insurance denied coverage of the incident through an exclusion found in the policy. The attorneys at Roman Austin did not give up though, and after countless hours of research, they found a way to circumvent the exclusion found within the policy. The at-fault’s insurance company eventually reversed their coverage decision and tendered the full seven figure policy.
