Confidential Settlement for Brain Injured Pedestrian

Plaintiff, a 62 year old war veteran, sustained traumatic brain and orthopedic injuries as a result of being hit as a pedestrian on Florida’s Highway.

Due to mechanical failure, Plaintiff parked his vehicle on the shoulder of the highway with his emergency lights activated. He got out of his car to check on his vehicle and as he returned to the front door to open it, the defendant swerved onto the shoulder and hit him.

The main defense in the case was the plaintiffs own negligence regarding his proximity to the lanes of travel and his visibility at night.
