$550,000 Settlement Secured After Complex
Rear-End Collision
|
|
Firm Attorney Austin R. Diaz secured a $550,000 settlement for a client who suffered significant injuries when a distracted driver struck her vehicle at full speed while she was stopped at a red light.
The complex case involved multiple defendants, layers of insurance coverage and several carriers disputing responsibility. Austin’s persistence, strategic negotiations and his client’s trust in his advice not to accept earlier offers ultimately increased her recovery by an additional $200,000.
The settlement provided meaningful compensation after an especially difficult year for the client and her family. |

Beyond the Classroom: A Summer of
Practical Legal Experience
|
|
This summer, University of Miami School of Law student Isabel McGinty gained practical legal experience while serving as a Law Clerk in our West Palm Beach office. From conducting legal research and reviewing medical records to observing depositions, mediations and client meetings, Isabel gained insight into many different aspects of personal injury practice.
“The most valuable part of my clerkship was being able to contribute rather than simply observe,” Isabel shared.
Isabel wrote an article for the University of Miami School of Law reflecting on her summer clerkship and what she learned from our attorneys and legal team. Click below to read about her experience. |

My family and I were involved in a car accident back in March, and unfortunately, our experience with the first law firm we hired was extremely disappointing. They barely communicated with us, and I felt like nothing was being done to help my family.
Thankfully, a coworker recommended Glenn Siegel to me. From the moment Glenn took our case, he was attentive, responsive, professional, and made sure we always felt heard and informed. He treated my family and me with genuine compassion while working hard to protect our best interests.
Glenn was able to get my family and me a great settlement, and I am truly grateful for everything he did for us. Having someone like Glenn who actually cared and fought for us made such a huge difference.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Glenn Siegel to anyone who needs an attorney who will genuinely care about their case, communicate with them, and work hard to get the best possible outcome. |
