Serious Boca Raton Car Accident Results in the Filing of a Negligence Lawsuit in Circuit Court
Our Boca Raton personal injury lawyers recently filed the Peters case, in which Ms. Peters was permanently injured in a serious car wreck. The crash occurred on Clint Moore Road in northern Boca Raton, Florida. Ms. Peters was stopped at a traffic light and rear ended by Ms. Horowitz, who could not stop her vehicle in time to avoid the crash.
Although it has not yet been legally decided, we anticipate that Ms. Horowitz will admit liability for the accident. The case will then proceed to trial where a jury will determine Ms. Peters’ damages sustained in the crash. A prior lawyer was unable to settle the case in pre-suit and our lawyers are now litigating the case in Court.
