Question: On January 4 , 2 0 2 0 , Lisa V . was driving her car in Beverly Hills. She needed to get fresh air

On January 4,2020, Lisa V. was driving her car in Beverly Hills. She needed to get fresh air and while she was driving, she was listening to the entertainment news on her radio and was very upset by the rumors that were being reported about her. At approximately 7:00 p.m., Lisa went into the intersection at Rodeo Dr. and Sunset Blvd. As she entered the intersection, she collided with another car that was being driven by Brandi G. Both drivers got out and inspected the cars and took the proper information from each other and left.
It was estimated that there was damage to each car. Brandi had her attorneys contact Lisa after the accident. Lisa was so distraught, she thinks that she went through a red light and caused the accident. She negotiated with Brandi's attorneys and was willing to pay $4,000 to make this go away.
Lisa comes to you and asks you if you would write a release for her.
