Our firm recently represented a Central Florida woman who was severely injured in a horrific car accident caused when another driver ran a stop sign. The car accident left her with permanent injuries to her neck, back, shoulders, knees, legs and ankle, and persistent pain that, at times, requires her to walk with a cane. She is only 45 years old and will have to endure these injuries for the rest of her life.

Last month, a Marion County jury awarded her $2.7 million in compensation for her medical injuries and lost earning capacity. This is a significant dollar award for Marion County and illustrates the jury’s attentive deliberations in delivering a personal injury award commensurate with the defendant’s negligence and the extensive injuries that have drastically changed our client’s life. The award also sends a strong message to others who may deliberately or unintentionally run stop signs that the consequences of their action can be devastating both personally and financially.
