Our client is partially blind and drives a golf cart for transportation since you do not need a driver’s license. She was driving at dusk when a large pickup truck turned into the side of her cart. The golf cart crash left her with a fractured leg and tissue loss, requiring fusion.
“Liability was a huge defense to the case. We were in a rural conservative area with a likable defendant and a disliked plaintiff,” said Attorney Garrett Tuck, who took on this case.
Insurance initially offered our client $475,000 for the golf cart accident. However, since this accident caused our client to be in a wheelchair and get surgery, we felt she deserved more. This accident took a major toll on our client, causing her to be stressed throughout the process.
Through relentless digging, we were able to find a witness who was behind the golf cart and was able to see our client despite it being dark outside. We also were able to collect nearly 10 depositions that substantiated the facts in our case. After mediation, we were able to secure a $1,500,000 settlement for our client.
