Case Summary
A recent admitted liability auto accident case in Palm Beach County, FL involved a Plaintiff who sustained injuries from an automobile collision that occurred in December 2022. The lawsuit was filed against CSK’s client, a soil manufacturer, and the individual truck driver. The Plaintiff sought over $3 million in compensation for medical expenses and other damages resulting from the incident.
Defense Strategy
CSK’s Defense Team focused on challenging the extent of the Plaintiff’s injuries and the claim of permanent damage. They successfully argued that the Plaintiff did not suffer permanent injury or significant loss of bodily function, which limited the scope of recoverable damages.
Verdict
The jury concluded that the Plaintiff did not sustain a permanent injury, which significantly influenced the final award amount totaling roughly 2% of the Plaintiff’s Proposal for Settlement.
