The wrongdoer negligently attempted to turn his vehicle left in front of the young man’s oncoming vehicle but did not clear the intersection in time without causing a collision. The wrongdoer claimed the young man was speeding and therefore was also a cause of the collision. In Maryland (as well as in Virginia and in most circumstances in DC), if the wrongdoer could prove that the young man caused or contributed to the happening of the collision, then the parents’ claim would be eliminated. After doing an investigation and negotiating, and without having to file a lawsuit, Partner Joseph Cammarata was able to convince the wrongdoer’s insurance company that the wrongdoer was the sole cause of the collision, and that it had to pay to the young man’s parents all of the available insurance money. The insurance company relented and paid $1,250,000 to our clients.
