The Problem
Two minors were passengers in a vehicle when a driver on a test drive ran a red light, causing a violent T-bone collision. The crash left the minors injured and frightened. The owner of the at-fault vehicle, a local car dealership, initially disputed liability, arguing there was no conclusive proof of the traffic light color at the time of the crash, putting the burden on our clients to prove their case.
Our Approach
Jimenez Legal was retained to represent the minors and their family. Our attorneys:
- Collected crash data and physical evidence from the accident scene
- Obtained sworn witness statements corroborating that the at-fault driver ran the red light
- Compiled photographs and police documentation to establish liability
- Presented the evidence to the dealership’s insurer, forcing them to acknowledge responsibility
The Result
With the liability dispute resolved, the dealership’s insurance company agreed to pay $300,000 to compensate the minors for their injuries, pain, and suffering, without the need for prolonged litigation.
Key Takeaway
Even when liability is disputed, strong evidence collection and skilled legal representation can secure full compensation for crash victims, especially vulnerable minors.
