Case Synopsis

Our client required cervical spine surgery after being rear-ended in a collision where the defendant attempted to avoid responsibility by claiming an unidentified “ghost vehicle” had struck them first, forcing them into our client’s vehicle.

The defense maintained this position throughout the litigation despite being unable to produce any evidence supporting the existence of the phantom vehicle. Most notably, there was no damage to the rear of the defendant’s vehicle consistent with being rear-ended.

Insider Accident Lawyers refused to accept this explanation. Through careful investigation and aggressive litigation, we exposed the weaknesses in the defenses account and continued pressing the case towards trial.

Faced with mounting pressure and compelling evidence, the defendant ultimately agreed to tender the full insurance policy limits, providing our client with the maximum recovery available.

Result: Through persistent litigation and investigation, we secured a $500,000 settlement in a case with disputed liability.
