Our single mother client was walking on a sidewalk in front of a major luxury car dealership with her teenage daughter when she was violently struck by a luxury SUV exiting the dealership.  The driver claims he didn’t see her walking down the sidewalk before pulling out of the driveway although he admitted there were no visual obstructions.  Our client was violently knocked to the ground after the SUV pinned her foot under a tire and then struck her with the corner of the SUV.  Without authorization, the employees of the car dealership then videotaped our client as she sat on the ground and received medical attention from paramedics.  Our client suffered painful low back disc injuries and received extensive medical care over several months to recover.  The insurance adjuster would not admit liability without our client providing a “recorded statement” and taunted her to file a lawsuit.  The adjuster bragged that they had “fantastic lawyers” to defend them.  Needless to say, the lawyers were not “fantastic” by any stretch of the imagination.  Instead, they were bullies and could not follow the basic rules of litigation which required the judge to step in to enforce the rules.  After a few months of litigation, the car dealer’s lawyers came to their senses and requested mediation.  At mediation in November of 2016, the case was resolved for a confidential sum which made our client very happy.
