Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a crash that left one person dead and another seriously injured. Authorities say that a 57-year-old West Palm Beach woman died in the crash along Florida’s Turnpike near Donald Ross Road and mile marker 112 just after noon on Sunday. The woman, who was driving southbound in a sedan as traffic came to a sudden stop, crashed into the back of an SUV driven by a 70-year-old Pembroke Pines man who sustained serious injuries. The impact of the initial crash pushed the SUV into the rear of a third vehicle driven by a 29-year-old man from Sunrise. He suffered minor injuries. No further details have been released.

Do Most Car Accidents Settle?
Settlement offers can vary widely, depending on who develops a car accident claim. If an attorney fails to properly evaluate a case due to lack of experience or poor judgment, does not undertake a comprehensive investigation and analysis of all the liability and damages issues, does not properly present the claim to the adjuster and/or fails to present all the supporting evidence and documents associated with the claim, the result is usually an unreasonably low offer from the insurance company, or worse, no settlement offers at all. These cases will often end up in an unnecessary trial because the insurance company is not going to take the unprepared attorney or the spotty claim seriously. Also, in the poorly developed cases, the attorney may not have the experience, resources, or ability to effectively litigate the case. The insurance company will figure out the attorney’s weaknesses and the flaws in the case and use these factors to its advantage at trial, often at the expense of the innocent client. As a result, many cases end up in court, not because of the issues, but because the attorney failed to effectively develop and present the claim to the insurance carrier. Overall, most car accident claims do reach a settlement before trial. A favorable settlement outcome is a direct result of our proactive approach to all cases. Due to our extensive experience with personal injury law, case evaluation and preparation, we can put our client’s claims in a position where the insurance company knows we are thoroughly prepared to go to trial if a fair settlement offer is not promptly forthcoming. To put it another way, we organize a well-documented claim that eliminates any issues regarding liability. Next, we thoroughly document in detail the nature and extent of injuries, permanency, and damages. This diligent and thorough approach greatly improves the likelihood of producing a fair offer of settlement from the insurance company. In these situations, the insurance claims team knows that it is going to have to negotiate and settle the case to avoid the risk of greater exposure through a trial against a skilled and well-prepared team of litigators.
