Car Accidents

Orlando Car Accident Lawyer

Car accidents take moments to happen. The injuries, however, can pose problems to people twenty, thirty, even fifty years after the accidents happen. Attorney James Cunningham takes into careful consideration the future implications of the current injuries to determine the long-term financial needs of his injured clients. This amount is taken into consideration in the settlement demand. We seek justice on behalf of injured people, ensuring their needs will be met well after their case has settled.

    $3.75 million settlement for a client who suffered a brain injury in a car-pickup truck accident

Forty-nine year old pastor, John Doe, was injured when the vehicle he was riding in was rear-ended at a high rate of speed by a pick-up truck owned by XYZ Corp. Doe was airlifted from accident scene to Tampa General Hospital where a diagnosis of closed head injury was made. He was released the following day without restrictions.

Following his discharge from the hospital, Doe continued to experience symptoms compatible with post concussion syndrome until approximately six weeks after the motor vehicle accident when he developed change in speech, gait and mentation. Diagnostic testing revealed a subacute subdural hematoma which was surgically evacuated through a bilateral burr hole procedure. The subdural hematoma recurred about four weeks later and Doe was taken back to surgery where bilateral craniotomies were ultimately successful in controlling the subdural bleed.

Summary judgments were obtained on the issues of Defendants' liability, vicarious liability under respondeat superior and Dangerous Instrumentality Doctrine, seatbelt and comparative negligence. The case was resolved for $3.75 million at mediation 30 days before trial.
