The Nightmare Roundabout<\/h1>\n

Andria was driving to the store one morning when an older driver collided with her, causing her Jeep to flip and roll.<\/em><\/p>\n

Case Type:<\/strong> Car & Truck Accidents<\/a>
\nResult:<\/strong> Confidential Settlement<\/p>\n<\/div>

We\u2019ve written a few stories about cases we prosecuted successfully that other lawyers couldn\u2019t quite get their heads around or found too intimidating. The Nightmare Roundabout is one of those stories.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our client, Andria, came to us after the lawyers she first hired had given up on her case\u2014they were hoping to extract an easy settlement from the insurance company and, when that didn\u2019t materialize, dropped Andria as a client.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what happened: Andria was driving to the store one morning when an older driver collided with her, causing her Jeep to flip and roll. At the time of the accident, Andria was exiting a multi-lane roundabout. Fortunately, the incident was captured on video. Unfortunately, Andria probably was speeding and definitely changed lanes while in the roundabout, which Missouri law prohibits. The driver who collided with Andria\u2019s vehicle claimed the accident was Andria\u2019s fault, and her insurance company agreed.<\/p>\n

The question in this case was what actually caused the accident. A lawyer calls this the \u201cproximate cause.\u201d Many people do not realize that there are rules of the road that apply specifically to traffic circles and roundabouts. In a multi-lane roundabout, drivers typically are prohibited from changing lanes and some lanes require drivers to exit the roundabout (as opposed to continuing around the circle).<\/p>\n

Andria was sure that she had the right of way, but the driver who collided with her, that driver\u2019s insurance company, and the first law firm Andria hired all either disagreed or would not put in the time to figure out the answer.<\/p>\n

As always, we started by believing<\/em> Andria, as we do with all of our clients. We then investigated and photographed the accident scene and researched Missouri roundabout laws. Our research led us to conclude that, despite Andria\u2019s speed, it was the other driver\u2019s illegal lane change that actually caused the collision.<\/p>\n

We presented our findings in a demand package that was sent to AMCO Insurance (the other driver\u2019s insurer). AMCO\u2019s obstinance already successfully dissuaded one law firm to give up on Andria\u2019s case, so AMCO tried it again with us\u2014it flatly rejected our demand.<\/p>\n

What AMCO did not understand, however, is that we do not give up that easily. After it rejected our demand, we filed a lawsuit on Andria\u2019s behalf against the driver who collided with her. We also issued written discovery requests to the defendant and pushed for an early trial setting. Shortly after we demanded the defendant\u2019s deposition, AMCO folded and paid Andria a fair settlement, equal to approximately four times her medical bills.<\/p>\n

Andria was thrilled\u2014she\u2019d gone from being told it was her fault, to being dumped by the first law firm she hired, to finally getting a fair settlement for her injuries. Andria was a wonderful client, and she deserved every penny she received in this settlement.<\/p>\n

Andria’s Testimonial<\/h2><\/span>

Tim was knowledgeable about the possible risks of the case to help me make informed decisions. He then went above and beyond, negotiating possible claims against my settlement, even though that had no impact to his own fee. Most importantly, he maintained constant communication on the status of the case and treated me with respect and care.<\/p><\/div>
