Overgrown Orange Groves Cause Serious Accident

At 22-years-old, our client was a college student with a bright future ahead of her.   But her life changed dramatically one evening as she was driving to a friend’s house near Orlando.

After stopping at a stop sign and looking both ways, she started to proceed through an intersection. Unfortunately, her view was obstructed by overgrown trees from an orange grove adjacent to the road. She was not able to see a car coming toward her until it was too late.  The other driver t-boned her vehicle at a high rate of speed, crushing it on impact.  He later admitted that he never saw her car and never hit the brakes because the orange trees also blocked his view of the intersection.

As a result of the accident, this young woman suffered a traumatic brain injury, neck and back injuries and spent more than a month in the hospital. Her injuries were so severe that she had to re-learn to walk and now has permanent brain damage. She has been unable to hold down a job and depends on her parents for care.

The insurance companies handling this case refused to offer anything before the family hired attorney Lake H. “Trey” Lytal, III. The case settled one week before trial for $1.26 Million.
