Attorney(s): Trial Attorney Xavier Johnson
Settlement: $8,600,000 Settlement
A Bronx jury held a distracted driver accountable after the driver claimed our client must have been lying in the cross walk because she never saw her before running her over. However, a Bronx jury saw right through the drivers created story and found her 100% responsible for the March 2018 crash that caused very serious injuries that required multiple surgeries to our 58-year-old client. We gave the insurance company the opportunity to offer their limited $100,000 but the insurance company chose to expose the driver to personal responsibility instead of protecting them from a verdict above the policy limits. As a result, we believe the insurance company was more interested in their own profits than protecting their insured, and we will be pursuing a claim against the insurance company on behalf of the driver. The case was handled by Trial Attorney Xavier Johnson.
