A Real Client Case $50 Million Won in a Motorcycle Accident Case
Our client was riding a motorcycle when he was hit by a drunk driver in a head-on collision. The crash resulted in catastrophic injuries that required 33 medical procedures including a bilateral leg amputation.
Drew Moody represented this client and proved that negligence led to his injuries. A Polk County jury awarded our client $50,000,000 for his injuries, a sum that reflects our community's response to drunk driving and other reckless actions. Our client hopes that advancements in prosthetics will allow him to live his life without limitations.

Awesome experience with moody law. An accident had me out of work for just over four months. They helped me navigate the process of getting reimbursed for my hospital bills, pain & suffering plus loss of wages. I hope I’m not in a position to need an attorney again, but if I do, I will certainly return to them.

I was involved in an auto accident that was not my fault. The insurance companies insulted me with their offer. I contacted Moody Law, P.A. from the advise of a friend. Moody Law took my case and won a satisfactory settlement. Moody Law always was familiar with my case and informed me of the process.

Personal Injury Lawyer FAQ
How can I help build my case?
Take pictures of your injuries and the scene of the accident, then back them up on multiple devices. We also recommend emailing them to yourself so they’re always accessible. Attend doctor’s appointments even if you don’t think you need to. This generates medical records and can help us prove the extent of your injuries. Stay off social media until your case is settled so your content can’t be used against you.
Should I talk to the insurance companies?
With our Lakeland personal injury attorneys on your side, you can refer the insurance companies to us. While it’s okay to provide them with the general facts about your case — those involved, the other person’s insurance company, etc. — do not provide them with a statement or details of your case. The insurance company is looking out for their bottom line and will use your words against you to minimize your claim or have your case dismissed.
Should I Settle or Go to Trial?
Personal injury claims can be settled out of court or go all the way to trial. There is no one right way to resolve a case, but there are some pros and cons our personal injury lawyers can help you consider.
Pre-Trial Settlement
The vast majority of personal injury cases are resolved outside of court. Settling before a trial avoids a long and expensive court battle. It also helps keep the details of your case confidential. However, public awareness and other compelling reasons may be good reasons to reject settlement offers and pursue a civil trial.
Civil Trial
During a civil trial, attorneys for each side will present evidence in court. The jury renders a verdict and awards legal damages. The damages awarded may be higher than the pre-trial settlement offer. However, there is no guarantee that you will receive the damages you're seeking. The jury might even rule against you.
