In February of 2009, attorney Lynn Gibbons was driving her twins to elementary school at 8:15 in the morning. She turned left on a green arrow at the intersection of Park Boulevard and Oakhurst Road in Seminole, Florida. Unfortunately, a busy real estate agent driving a minivan did not notice that her light was red and plowed into the side of Lynn's SUV at over 40 miles per hour.
The collision lifted the vehicle's rear end off the ground and caused it to careen into a gas station parking lot at the corner of the intersection. Luckily, Delanie and Dillan (Lynn’s 9-year-old twins) were shaken up but fortunately fine. As a result of the accident, Ms. Gibbons sustained a rotator cuff tear, a labrum tear in her right shoulder, and four herniated discs in her spine. She had shoulder surgery in April of that year and underwent extensive physical therapy.
Ms. Gibbons battled the defendant driver's insurance company and even her own insurance company to recover the damages she incurred due to this accident. Presently, she lives with pain from the herniated discs and limited range of motion every day. She had to endure excruciating pain during recovery from her shoulder surgery, find time in an already overloaded schedule to attend physical therapy sessions three times weekly and live with limitations that interfered with her ability to care for her four children and actively participate in the busy life she enjoyed before the accident.
