The Rehfuss Law Firm negotiated a substantial settlement for a client who suffered injury as a result of an automobile accident. The client, while driving through a green light at an intersection, was struck broadside by the defendant who also claimed to have had a green light. Several witnesses at the scene had conflicting views of which driver had the green light. Through extensive investigation and witness interviews, The Rehfuss Law Firm was able to determine that there were video cameras at two retail establishments located at the intersection. The one camera showed the defendant driver texting on his cell phone as he approached the intersection. The other camera clearly showed that the defendant had a red light for almost 15 seconds prior to the accident. Upon learning of this evidence, and after reviewing the substantial and significant medical documentation demonstrating the client’s serious injuries, the insurance company for the defendant driver agreed to settle the claim for the full limits of the defendant’s automobile policy. Rehfuss was also able to negotiate a complete waiver of their client’s insurance company’s subrogation rights for no-fault benefits paid over and above the statutory limit.
