High Speed Rear-End Collision
In this case, Attorney Seth Green was brought in as lead trial counsel by another law firm to help guide discovery, prepare the case for trial, and present the medical and legal issues to a jury if necessary. Our client was an amazing single father from Wellington who was rear-ended in while working in Palm Beach Gardens. He was transported by Palm Beach County Fire Rescue to Jupiter Medical Center immediately following the crash. He had been involved in prior accidents, had prior settlements, and prior pains, but nothing like he experienced in this high speed rear-end collision on PGA Blvd. This incredibly powerful car crash worsened our client’s previously herniated disc and he underwent neck surgery. He also underwent shoulder surgery for a new shoulder injury. We were very glad to see that our client, for the most part, got back to activities of daily life. He maintained his job and got throughout his days completing nearly all the same activities he did before the accident. However, he was a different person after the crash. The frequency and extent of his physical activities were limited. Sleep was disrupted. His general mood had changed a bit considering he still dealt with aches and pains depending upon his activity level. At the end of the case, he was extremely thrilled with the result and told us that the outcome was way better than he ever expected.

Car Accident
In this case, Attorney Seth Green was brought in as lead trial counsel by another respected law firm to help guide discovery, prepare the case for trial, and present the medical and legal issues to a jury if necessary. By combining resources and experience, the firms formed a unified trial team focused on achieving the best possible outcome for the client.
Our client was stopped in traffic, at the intersection of Flavor Pict Rd. & Jog Rd., in Boynton Beach, Florida. Her traffic light was turned green but she did not proceed through the intersection. There was an ambulance coming from the opposite direction, lights flashing and sirens blaring, so she allowed the ambulance to proceed. While she was lawfully stopped, the driver behind her failed to pay attention and violently rear-ended her vehicle. She was transported by ambulance to the Delray Medical Center, where she complained of neck and back pain. Fortunately, there were no broken bones, major bruising, or visible cuts—facts the insurance company later tried to use to downplay the seriousness of her injuries. But the pain did not go away.
As weeks turned into months, months turned into years, and our client’s symptoms persisted and worsened. She ultimately underwent shoulder surgery, and a few years later required an SI joint fusion. Despite this clear progression of treatment, the defense aggressively argued that the crash did not cause her condition. Instead, they claimed that her age and underlying arthritis—she was in her 60s at the time—were the real reasons for her surgeries.
The trial team disagreed.
Attorney Green framed the case around cause versus coincidence. For more than 25 years before the crash, our client had lived an active life without complaints of disabling pain or the need for invasive treatment. It was only after the collision that her symptoms began and her medical care escalated. The defense theory required the jury to believe it was merely a coincidence that serious treatment followed immediately after a violent rear-end crash. The evidence told a different story.
$700,000
Motorcycle Accident
A young man was involved in a car v. motorcycle accident. He was not wearing a helmet and had no memory of the crash. Mr. Green successfully proved the other driver was responsible for the crash. The young man on the motorcycle did sustain injuries, including broken bones, but eventually made a very strong recovery and fortunately is doing well today.
$700,000
Auto Accident
A woman was involved in a sideswipe auto accident. She sustained an injury to her neck and shoulder requiring surgery. The defendant denied fault for the crash in his deposition. Mr. Green retained an expert crash reconstruction engineer and recreated the crash. Mr. Green was also able to locate the same vehicles involved in the crash (the originals were no longer available) and proved via video footage that the Defendant’s story was unsound. Soon after Mr. Green announced he was ready for trial, the insurance company agreed to settle.

Unsafe Asphalt Resealing
This was the second time our firm handled a case involving the same dangerous asphalt resealing practice, and once again, it resulted in a substantial recovery for an injured resident.
Our client was a resident of a private community in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The homeowners’ association hired an asphalt paving company to reseal the community parking lot, a process typically done every five to seven years due to sun exposure, vehicle traffic, and normal wear.
Freshly sealed asphalt is shiny black and can look identical whether it is wet or dry, making it nearly impossible to tell the difference without stepping on it - a common cause of slip and fall accidents.
What Went Wrong
The paving company resurfaced the entire parking lot at once, forcing residents to park on a neighboring street. However, the company failed to leave any safe walking path for residents to reach their vehicles.
While cones and barricades were placed at the front entrance of the community, they were located nearly two football fields away from our client’s villa. When she exited her home and entered the parking lot, no warnings were visible to her and nothing indicated that portions of the asphalt remained wet.
Residents were told when the work began, but no one notified them when the asphalt was safe to walk on.
The Fall
Hours later, our client left her villa to retrieve her car. With no warning signs in sight and no alternative route available, she cautiously tested the asphalt near her building. It felt dry.
With no other way out, she proceeded forward.
Approximately 100 feet later, she encountered a shaded section of asphalt that remained wet and slick, despite looking identical to the surrounding dry surface. She slipped and fell violently.
The Injuries
Initially hoping the pain would resolve, our client went home. By the next day, her condition worsened, requiring an emergency room visit. Despite conservative care, her symptoms persisted and ultimately resulted in low back surgery.
The Defense’s Position—and Why It Failed
The defense argued our client did not suffer a serious injury, and that she knew, or should have known, the asphalt was wet.
Uncovering the Truth
Through multiple depositions of the asphalt company’s field-level employees, we learned that company safety protocols typically require a full 360-degree perimeter of cones, barricades, or caution tape around wet asphalt.
That protocol was not followed here.
The Result
After establishing clear liability and proving the lasting impact of our client’s injuries, the case resolved for $650,000.
This result followed a nearly identical case we previously handled involving a hotel parking lot in Miami, reinforcing a critical safety principle: when contractors fail to protect pedestrians, preventable injuries follow, and accountability matters.
$650,000
Pass-Out Auto Accident
Defendant claimed to have “passed out” behind the wheel, ran a red light and t-boned my client. Defendant relied on a “sudden medical emergency” defense which would have resulted in a $0.00 award. We were able to use crash reconstruction data to prove the defendant never “passed out” instead he was just multi-tasking or not paying attention.
$600,000
Recovered For 2 Minor Children Injured in Highway Crash
Our team was brought in to assist the minor children in getting their medical treatment paid for, and money for their future, after being involved in a very serious crash. The policy limits were capped at $100,000 but our team was able to find 6 separate lines of insurance coverage totaling up to the $600,000 global settlement.
$475,000
Low Speed Auto Accident Pushes Plaintiff Towards Surgery
This was a heavily litigated case against a major insurance defense firm. The initial offer in the case was only $75,000. The defense argued that the low-speed crash did not have sufficient force to cause any new injury to the Plaintiff. The defense collected prior medical records showing the Plaintiff had a herniated disc in his neck well before the crash. The medical records also showed many years of documented neck pain, even requiring multiple rounds of injections before the crash. However, Attorney Seth Green was successful in proving that the crash was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back and pushed the Plaintiff over the edge to need surgery. Mr. Green took the deposition of the Plaintiff’s prior pain management doctor who explained that the Plaintiff was in a weakened state at the time of the crash and therefore it made sense that even a “minor” crash could cause grave injury. Mr. Green made it clear that, had the Plaintiff really needed surgery before the crash, he would have gotten it done. The Plaintiff always had great insurance and many opportunities to do the surgery; but he did not get it done because he did not need the procedure…until after the crash when everything changed.

Golf Cart Accident
The terms of this settlement are confidential.
$400,000
MVA Causes Overdose
Our client sustained non-life threatening injuries as a result of an MVA verse scooter incident. Prior to the incident, he suffered with substance abuse. Unfortunately, following his injury, he was prescribed pain meds and it ultimately led to reigniting his addiction issues. We gathered evidence showing he was on track for success but for the MVA and ultimately obtained full payment of the entire insurance policy.
$350,000
Slip & Fall - Wet Paint
Client slipped when he stepped on a parking lot with wet sealcoat due to an ongoing maintenance project. The property owner did not properly warn the patron of the active project.
$350,000
Trip & Fall - Pot Hole
A woman fell in a parking lot. She sustained a serious arm fracture requiring multiple surgeries. The property owner denied all wrongdoing, blamed the fall entirely on the woman and refused to pay one dollar to settle the case pre-lawsuit. During a two-year litigation battle, Mr. Green secured deposition testimony from a former employee of the property owner which undermined the property owner’s defense. Mr. Green also obtained a photograph from Google Street View Archives demonstrating the hazardous condition which caused the fall had existed for several years before the incident date.
$350,000
Motorcycle Accident
A motorcycle rider was hit by a car that ran through a stop sign. The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries to his face and arms. The motorcycle rider was not interested in a long journey through a lawsuit and wanted to stop all treatment with the doctors. Mr. Green was able to secure a relatively quick settlement and the motorcyclist was very pleased with the result. He likely is back on the road enjoying his motorcycle as we speak.
$300,000
Bicycle v. Construction Zone
Client rode his bicycle near a construction size when construction debris blew into his path of travel causing him to fall off his bicycle and fracture his hip.
$300,000
ATV Accident - No Parental Supervision
Minor client was a passenger on an ATV. The ATV owners allowed their minor child to take the ATV for a joy ride with multiple friends absent supervision or consent from the other children's parents. The ATV was misused and our client was injured.
$250,000
“Minor” Car Accident
A middle-aged woman was involved in a minor parking lot fender bender. Her vehicle sustained under $750.00 in property damage. However, prior to the accident, the woman had been diagnosed with a severely herniated disk in her spine. After the accident, she underwent surgery to repair her herniated disk. Mr. Green argued the woman’s recent accident was the proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back” and persuaded the insurance company to tender the full limits of their insured’s $250,000 insurance policy.
$250,000
No Helmet Motorcycle Accident
A man riding his motorcycle, without a helmet, was thrown off his motorcycle when he was cut-off by an inattentive driver. He suffered road rash, bruises, and herniated disks but fortunately recovered without surgery or invasive medical treatment. The motorcycle rider’s medical bills totaled under $20,000.00 but it did not stop Mr. Green from obtaining a large settlement.
$250,000
Car Accident with "Treatment GAP"
Mr. Green’s client was involved in a high speed car crash. She was most concerned about her children following the incident. She did not initially undergo any diagnostic testing to see whether she injured her spine. She later became pregnant and had a big treatment gap. Three years later she gets an MRI and identifies a herniated disk. The insurance company did not “buy” that the herniated disk was related to the accident. Mr. Green took the case to trial and proved to the jury this accident did cause the herniated disc. The highest pre-trial offer was $15,000.
$250,000
Neck Surgery Post MVA - Policy Limit Tender
This paragraph here is a place holder for dozens of cases Mr. Green has resolved for policy limits. In Florida, it is common to have policy limits cap out at $250,000. It is also common for people to sustain herniated disc and require spinals surgery following a car crash. Mr. Green routinely handles these types of cases and has frequently been able to achieve the max payout within months of his client’s surgery. There are too many of these cases to count or list.
$200,000
Bicycle v. Ride Share
This case involved an avid cyclist who was in a cross walk when he got struck by a ride-share vehicle exiting a community. The driver of the vehicle pulled too far past the stop bar and encroached into the pedestrian right of way striking the cyclist. Fortunately, the impact occurred at low speed. The cyclist did not sustain any broken bones or serious abrasions from the fall. He did not go to the hospital. The pain however became apparent the next day. He sought treatment from his chiropractor, eventually got MRIs showing soft tissue injures, and was recommended for shoulder surgeries. He decided not to undergo the surgeries prior to the settlement. Despite the lack of invasive medical treatment, or obvious serious injury from the date of the crash, we were able to demonstrate that the Plaintiff’s life did considerably change after the crash. We made the insurance company treat this case with care and focus on the human aspects of the case beyond the medical reports/numbers. We ultimately obtained a settlement right before trial that fairly compensated our client.
$120,000
Pedestrian Parking Lot Accident
An elderly driver nearly ran over a mother and her child while they were walking in a parking lot. The mother instinctively put her arm out to get the driver’s attention to stop the vehicle and her hand was struck by the car. Three days after the incident, the mother began experiencing rib pain and was diagnosed with a fractured rib. The elderly driver’s insurance company denied contact was made between the mother and the vehicle and also denied the rib fracture was related to the incident. However, witnesses would prove otherwise. Also, the mother’s treating doctor explained the injury was consistent with the mother’s quick arm movement at the time of the incident. The doctor also explained the mother suffered from a rare pre-existing condition which made her easily susceptible to a broken rib.
$100,000
Settlement for Motor Vehicle Accident Without Impact
An elderly gentleman made a wide U-turn and forced a young woman to drive off the road and into a concrete wall. She fractured a bone in her spine. The insurance company only offered the woman $26,000 to settle her case arguing the young woman was responsible for her own injuries for “over-reacting” and crashing into a wall. Mr. Green prepared the case for trial and took the deposition of a key independent witness who testified the young woman was run off the road by the elderly gentlemen and crashing into the wall was unavoidable. The insurance company later agreed to tender their insured’s policy limits of $100,000.00.
Confidential Settlement
Lime Scooter v. Construction Zone
Client fell to the ground when his scooter tire got caught in a sandy pit located in the center of a sidewalk. There was ongoing construction and the contractor dug up the sidewalk. The contractor failed to close the sidewalk or warn the rider of the hidden danger.
Confidential Settlement
Boat/Dock Accident
A man fell off a dock and into the water while boarding a boat at a local marina. The man suffered a laceration to his leg and later underwent two knee surgeries. The case proceeded to a five-day jury trial. On the last day of trial, Attorney Green cross-examined the owner of the marina in front of the jury and got him to admit that his prior deposition testimony concerning the maintenance of the dock was inaccurate. During jury deliberations, the insurance company agreed to a confidential settlement.
Confidential Settlement
Toe Amputee
Our client was injured on his friend’s property when he stepped on a dirty nail which eventually led to a toe amputation. The friend invited him to make a claim against the home owner insurance policy only to find out the agent did not pay the premiums. Our law office was able to persuade the agent to cover the losses due to their negligence using their errors and omissions insurance coverage.
Confidential Settlement
Amusement Park Accident
A man and young child were enjoying a ride around an Orlando go-kart track when a teen driver hit him from behind and spun out his kart. His kart turned off and he was left at the bottom of a steep hill for a considerable time. A second teen driver came down the hill full speed and struck the inoperable kart head-on. The impact caused the man to fracture his foot. Mr. Green hired an amusement park expert who concluded the amusement park employees were negligent in failing to timely react to the situation and prevent the second crash. Attorney Green also secured deposition testimony from an independent witness proving the amusement park employees took no action for 5-10 seconds while the man and young child were “sitting ducks” at the bottom of a hill on the go-kart track.
Confidential Settlement
Slip & Fall Applying Retroactive Law
A woman fell on a slippery substance in the lobby of her office building. She was unable to identify the substance that caused her to fall, how it got there or how long it was present on the floor prior to her fall. She required two shoulder surgeries following the incident. The insurance company defending the case firmly believed it would escape liability because of a then, newly enacted Florida Statute which precludes claimants from prevailing in Slip & Fall cases if they are unable to prove the property owner had notice of the hazardous condition. Mr. Green got the case from another lawyer, which had been sitting dormant for some time, and drafted a meticulous memorandum of law proving the new statute was not applicable to the woman’s case and the old law (pre-2010) would apply. The insurance company settled shortly after receiving Mr. Green’s memorandum of law.
Wrongful Death Settlement
Lacking Proper Heirs
A pastor was killed in a motor vehicle accident in Boynton Beach, Florida due to no fault of his own. The pastor had no wife or children. Pursuant to Florida Wrongful Death Law, the insurance company for the at-fault driver thought they would escape paying a sizeable settlement because there were no proper heirs to the estate. However, Mr. Green proved to the insurance company that the pastor’s sister, although not a traditional heir to the estate per traditional Florida Law, was entitled to a very large settlement based upon her financial dependence on the now-deceased pastor. The sister ended up receiving a sizeable settlement many times larger than she ever expected.
Wrongful Death
Confidential Settlement
The specific facts of this case are not permitted to be shared. However, we can say that this was a heavily contested case where the defense insinuated that the victim intentionally committed suicide and as such the family was not permitted to recovery damages. Mr. Green fought hard and presented a strong case in arbitration leading to favorable result for the family.
