The Plaintiff was traveling northbound on Babcock Street in Melbourne when another vehicle traveling south on Babcock Street made a left-hand turn at Florida Avenue, causing the vehicle to collide with Plaintiff’s vehicle. The other vehicle was cited for violation of right-of-way. Liability was not an issue in this case. The Plaintiff sustained a cervical and lumbar injury requiring a two-level cervical fusion. The Defendant’s expert doctors argued that the Plaintiff’s injuries were not caused by the accident and alleged that no future treatment is necessary.
Prior to trial, the Plaintiffs would have settled for the $25,000 policy limits; however, the Defendant insurance company refused to settle. John N. Hamilton and Sam M. Cacciatore obtained a $354,632.67 verdict at trial for the Plaintiffs.
