Case Results
Kemp Law Group has recovered over $400 million for injured people since 2008, across more than 7,000 settled cases. The twenty below are the largest, taken from the firm’s own case records as of October 2026. Each amount is the total gross recovery for the case, every insurance policy combined, before attorney’s fees, costs and medical liens; names, dates and other identifying details are left out to protect the clients’ privacy, and no case is included without a settlement record behind it.
$2,415,000
Motorcycle Accident
A rider struck by a car suffered a severe traumatic brain injury, skull fractures, a ruptured spleen and an ankle fracture-dislocation. The at-fault driver’s insurer accepted liability, and the recovery came from her policy, her umbrella policy and the rider’s family’s stacked uninsured motorist coverage.
$2,000,000
Wrongful Death, Truck Accident
A driver was killed in a collision with a commercial carrier’s truck. The carrier called liability “pending” for months; the case resolved for the policy limits available.
$2,000,000
Pedestrian Accident
A 64-year-old pedestrian struck by a car suffered pelvic, arm, leg and facial fractures and a stroke, and needed three surgeries. The adjuster’s first question was why she had been walking there.
$1,500,000
Truck Accident
A commercial truck driver fell asleep at highway speed and rear-ended a pickup stopped in traffic, on video. The insurer disputed causation by pointing to the client’s other crashes; the injuries required a two-level lumbar fusion.

A truck failed to yield and struck a motorcyclist, who suffered a pelvic ring injury with hemorrhagic shock, rib and facial fractures and a collapsed lung, and needed four surgeries. Police cited the truck driver.

Hit-and-Run, Uninsured Driver
A passenger on an electric scooter was hit by a driver who fled and had no insurance. She lost two teeth and needed rods and a skin graft in her arm. The recovery came through a family member’s uninsured motorist policy, coverage the family did not know applied.
$1,150,000

A cyclist on a St. Petersburg street was hit by the rear door of a stopped rideshare vehicle, opened into her path. The driver’s own insurer and the vehicle’s owner declined; the rideshare company’s carrier accepted liability. She needed shoulder and hip surgeries and a neck fusion.
$1,004,722
Rideshare Passenger
A rear-seat Lyft passenger was T-boned by another vehicle. The Lyft driver’s personal insurer denied coverage because the car was in business use, so the rideshare policy paid; the client needed a two-level cervical disc replacement.
$1,000,000
Scooter Accident, Commercial Vehicle
A motorized-scooter rider was hit by a company vehicle driven in the course of employment and suffered a brain injury, open leg and elbow fractures and internal injuries. His own insurer denied uninsured motorist coverage; the company’s commercial policy paid.

$900,000

$870,000

A passenger in a dealership loaner was struck by a truck center’s employee driving in the course of employment. The carrier conceded its exposure but refused to accept liability. The client’s prior neck fusion fractured and required further spine and shoulder surgeries.
How to read these numbers
Gross, not net. The figures are what the insurers paid in total. The client’s share is what remains after the contingency fee, the case costs and the medical bills and liens the law requires to be repaid, all of which are explained in writing before anyone signs with us and accounted for line by line at settlement.
Policy limits decide most cases. Florida does not require drivers to carry bodily injury coverage, and many of the drivers who cause the worst crashes carry $10,000 or nothing. The results above were possible because someone found the coverage: an umbrella policy, a commercial policy, a rideshare company’s policy, or uninsured motorist coverage on the client’s own policy or a relative’s. We read every policy in the household before we value a case.
The injury has to be documented. Florida allows pain-and-suffering damages only for a permanent injury, and insurers pay for what the medical records prove. Consistent treatment, imaging and the surgeons’ opinions did as much for these results as the facts of the crash.
Every case is different. A result in one case does not predict another, and most cases, including most serious ones, resolve for far less than the amounts above because the coverage is not there. We will tell you honestly what your case is likely worth at the first conversation.
What these cases have in common
In almost every one, the insurer’s first position was no. Liability was “pending,” coverage was “denied,” the client was partly to blame, the injuries came from somewhere else. What changed the answer was the same every time: evidence preserved in the first days, every policy identified, the medical case built properly, and a file prepared as if a jury would see it. That is how the firm handles every case, not only the largest ones.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. The results above are gross settlements from the firm’s case records; past results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case, and each case depends on its own facts and the insurance coverage available.
