2014Kinzey v. Jane Doe (2014)
Plaintiff was driving his 2000 Honda Accord on Old Donation Parkway approaching the intersection of Old Donation Parkway and North Great Neck Road. As plaintiff proceeded through a green light, the defendant made a left turn from Old Donation Parkway onto North Great Neck Road, directly in the path of plaintiff. Defendant’s vehicle collided with the front driver side door of the Honda Accord which was totaled as a result of the accident. Plaintiff and his passenger were injured as a result of the accident. Plaintiff sustained a comminuted femoral fracture of the left leg. He was immediately taken to Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital and underwent intramedullary fixation with left femoral shaft fixation and insertion of a femoral nail. Plaintiff underwent a course of physical therapy with a successful outcome. Defendant, a minor, maintained an insurance policy of $300,000.00 per injury but limited to $300,000.00 per accident. After lengthy negotiations, defendant’s carrier agreed to settle plaintiff’s claim for $290,000.00 prior to filing suit.
