Case: SR v. Miami Bus Transportation Company.
Jurisdiction: Miami-Dade County, Florida.
Plaintiff’s Attorney: David W. Lipcon of Lipcon &Lipcon, P.A.
David W. Lipcon was
hired by a 42 year old man ("SR") who was stopped at a red light, on a motor
scooter. He was waiting for the light to turn, when his scooter was
struck from behind by a driver working for a Private Transportation
Company.
Upon impact, SR was thrown from the scooter, injuring
himself. The driver of the van, never got out of his vehicle to check on
SR, never called for help, and never provided any assistance whatsoever.
SR suffered severe trauma to his head, neck and back as a result of
the crash. The insurance company for the van refused to negotiate a fair settlement claiming that SR didn't sustained the injuries he was claiming.
Mr. Lipcon filed a lawsuit on behalf of SR. The case was litigated for thirteen (13) months. After the first day of trial, the insurance company finally admitted liability and offered to tender all of the insurance limits available.
Lipcon achieved a significant result for SR that will allow him to pay his medical bills, his
future medical bills and compensate him for all his current and future pain and
suffering.
When asked about the results of the case, SR stated “Mr.
Lipcon exceeded my expectations. Everybody told me that I was going to
get screwed over by the insurance company. Mr. Lipcon didn’t let that happen!”
