Naples, pedestrian over seventy who fell on the street compensated for 15 thousand euros by the guarantee fund

Studio Associati Maior has achieved a new pioneering feat. Rarely before has the Fondo di Garanzia Vittime della Strada, represented by the main Italian insurance company, Generali Italia SpA, paid for an accident in the absence of a collision.

The accident in question occurred in Saviano, in the Naples area. A pensioner in his seventies, while walking across the street on a pedestrian crossing, was forced to speed up to avoid being hit by a vehicle that was coming at high speed. The elderly man managed to avoid the impact, but in the excitement he hit the sidewalk, falling and injuring his right shoulder.

This was reported by the Maior Associates - Law and forensic medical firm composed of lawyers Michele Francesco Sorrentino, Pierlorenzo Catalano and Filippo Castaldo, as well as the forensic doctor Dr.

The hit-and-run vehicle, a light-colored SUV, disappeared without leaving a trace. None of those present were able to note the license plate number and the authorities' searches were in vain. Fortunately, in Italy there is a Guarantee Fund that intervenes specifically to protect those who are victims of road accidents caused by unidentified vehicles. However, this Fund, due to several requests for accidents that did not actually occur, is increasingly reluctant to settle the damages.

After having initiated the trial, heard the witnesses present on the scene and carried out an engineering expert report on the accident modalities, as well as a medical-legal expert report on the quantification of the damages, the Lawyers of Studio Associati Maior have opened a negotiation table with Generali Italia, which represents the Road Accident Victims Guarantee Fund for the Campania Region.

The insurance company, in order to avoid the now certain conviction in court, offered the sum of 15.000,00 euros, which the injured party, satisfied, accepted. Studio Associati Maior succeeds, once again in a titanic undertaking, managing to demonstrate the strength of its thesis. “Once again, justice has prevailed. This is only possible with careful and scrupulous teamwork of the client's needs. Having many personalities within the firm, specialized in different sectors, is essential to arrive at certifying the truth,” conclude the partners of Studio Maior.
