At Warner & Fitzmartin, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch legal representation for car accident victims in Lake Worth, Florida, and across South Florida. Recently, we secured a significant victory for a client involved in an I-95 express lane crash. Here’s how our experienced car accident attorneys helped achieve justice.
The Challenge: A Crash in the Express Lanes
Our client was driving on I-95 near Lake Worth when another driver illegally crossed the express lane poles. Unable to avoid a collision, our client struck the rear of the vehicle. At the scene, the other driver admitted fault and promised to take responsibility. However, once the insurance companies got involved, the story shifted. The other driver’s insurance claimed that our client had been speeding and was responsible for the crash.
Uncovering the Truth: Gathering Crucial Evidence
With two conflicting stories, it became our mission to prove our client’s innocence. We immediately began collecting evidence. While our client’s phone data was outdated, we uncovered photos taken by the defendant and GPS data that pinpointed the crash's exact location. Additionally, SunPass records confirmed that our client had legally entered the express lane, while the defendant had no record of being in the express lanes until after the accident.
The Victory: Six-Figure Settlement
Despite our clear evidence, the defendant’s insurance initially denied liability. However, through our persistence and attention to detail, our Lake Worth car accident lawyers secured a confidential six-figure settlement for our client—without needing to go to trial.
