Past Outstanding Results
for Clients

$1,045,000 | Car Accident with Lumbar Fusion Surgery
Defendant turned left in front of our client giving him no time to stop or avoid the crash. This resulted in a T-Bone impact which rendered both vehicles a total loss. Our client required a Spinal Fusion Surgery. The at-fault driver carried a $100,000 bodily injury insurance policy and our client carried an additional $10,000 under-insured motorist policy. The other party’s insurer only offered $11,000. Our client’s offered $0.
Couture Law P.A. was successful in getting the other party’s insurance company to pay $175,000 more than their policy limits for a total of $275,000. After a jury trial, Couture Law P.A. obtained a verdict in the amount of $1,045,000 – more than 100 times their insurance policy limits of $10k.
$125,000 | *Fired TV Lawyer* Rear-End Crash
Client was represented by a famous TV Lawyer for this minor rear-end crash. TV Lawyer tried to pressure him to settle his case for about $6,000. The client did not think this was fair, and called Couture Law P.A. for a FREE Consultation. Attorney Brent Couture visited him at his home and discussed his case in depth with him and his family. Mr. Couture agreed that his case was worth much more than the TV Lawyer had suggested. The client then fired the TV Lawyer and hired Couture Law P.A. to take over the case at no additional cost.
Our client had just stopped at a red light and was waiting for the light to turn green, when he was rear-ended by a vehicle traveling approximately 15 MPH. There was only very minor damage to the rear of our client’s vehicle. Our client suffered serious and permanent injuries from this crash. He suffered injuries to his low back, upper back, coccyx, shoulder, and both knees. He required surgical repair to his shoulder and left knee. The insurance company argued that the injuries could not have been caused by such a minor impact, and that our client had a long history of injuries to the same or similar body parts. Couture Law P.A. argued The Eggshell Plaintiff Doctrine: “plaintiffs are entitled to recover full compensation for all damage proximately resulting from the defendant’s negligence, even though their injuries are more serious than they would otherwise have been because of pre-existing physical or nervous conditions.” Couture Law P.A. was able to bring this case to resolution for $125,000.00; more than 20 Times what the TV Lawyer tried to pressure him to accept.
$300,000 | Intersection Collision
Client was represented by another Local Injury Attorney who tried to settle her case for less than $25,000. Client did not think this was fair, and called Couture Law P.A. for a FREE Consultation. She met with Attorney Brent Couture to discuss the details for her case. Mr. Couture agreed that her case was worth much more than the other Local Attorney had suggested they settle for. The client then fired the other attorney and hired Couture Law P.A. to take over the case at no additional cost.
The driver of a Chevy pick-up truck ran a red light at approximately 35 MPH and impacted a Honda Accord which was traveling through the intersection on a green light. The Accord spun counterclockwise and was propelled into our client head-on. Our client’s vehicle was rendered a total loss. Our client suffered permanent injuries to her neck and low back as a direct result of this motor vehicle crash. Surgery of the cervical spine was eventually required. The insurance company argued that our client had significant gaps in her treatment after the crash, which they believed proved that the treatment she had undergone was not related to the crash and was thus not compensable. Couture Law P.A. was able to resolve this case for $300,000.
$2.5 Million (policy Limit) | Motorcycle Crash
Our client was taking a leisurely ride on his motorcycle. He was travelling at 35 MPH, the speed limit in that area. All of a sudden and unexpectedly, a motor vehicle pulled out directly into his path, violating his right of way, and causing the front of his motorcycle to collide with the front right quarter panel of the motor vehicle. Our client was ejected from his bike, and died at the scene moments later.
Attorney Brent Couture reached out to the insurance company to see if it would do the right thing given the obvious negligence on its insured and the unimaginable damages. However, its first reaction was to insinuate that our client was likely speeding and thereby caused or contributed to his own death.
Couture Law P.A. hired one of the premier motorcycle crash reconstruction teams in Florida, purchased and stored the motorcycle for inspection and use at trial, and made arrangements to store and examine the defendant’s vehicle. Our crash team visited the site with some of the most advanced equipment available for accident reconstruction, including drone mapping of the entire crash site. Couture Law P.A. then hired a private investigator to search out and interview all possible witnesses to the crash. We were successful in finding a witness who was directly behind our client and could attest to the fact that our client was traveling at or below the speed limit and driving in a safe and reasonable manor. Our crash team pulled the data from the motorcycle and from the onboard computer inside the defendant’s vehicle. From this data, we were able to prove that the defendant’s vehicle pulled into the path of our client giving our client no time to react or avoid the collision in any way. Not long after we presented the insurance company with our overwhelming findings, they tendered the insurance policy limits of $2.5 Million (combined).
$725,000 | Auto Accident

How much does a personal injury attorney cost?
At Couture Law P.A. you won’t pay a penny unless our personal injury lawyers prevail at trial, or procure a settlement on your behalf. This arrangement is commonly referred to as payment “on a contingency basis.” Suffice to say, we’ll help you fight for every dollar for your pain and suffering.
How much time do I have to file an injury lawsuit?
The period of time from the date of the accident until you no longer can file a claim is known as the “statute of limitations.” In Florida, the amount of time in which statutes expire varies by case type. The statute of limitations for most injury cases is four (4) years. For medical malpractice and wrongful death cases, it’s two (2) years. Always err on the side of caution by consulting with your personal injury attorney.
Do I have a case?
Because no two cases are alike, injury attorneys should gather and analyze all of the facts regarding your case before addressing this question. After tracking down and speaking with witnesses, we’ll give you a fair, honest assessment of your unique situation – and how we can help.
