Personal Injury Case Results

Client had extensive medical bills and likely future surgeries were needed for a shoulder injury from the crash.  We investigated the at fault E-Bike driver and found that he had a homeowners policy that would cover his negligent bike riding. We obtained opinions from her surgeons for her future treatment needed, and opinions about future surgeries.  We provided these opinions to an expert that calculated a “medical cost projection” for our client’s future needs.  We provided this information along with a detailed analysis of her injuries to the homeowner’s insurance company.

We demanded that the homeowner’s pay their entire policy amount ($300,000) within 30 days or we would file a lawsuit and seek more money from a jury.  Within 7 days, the homeowner’s insurance company agreed to pay their entire policy to our client.

Client had extensive medical bills totaling over $300,000 at the hospital, and the at fault driver only had $30,000 in insurance coverage.  We found that our client’s family members in his home had 4 separate insurance policies that we would recover from.  We recovered the $30,000 from the at fault insurance company and then filed “underinsured motorist” claims with the 4 polices in our client’s home.  We also contacted our clients health insurance and ensured that they were paying all the medical bills.  We confirmed that the health insurance was not legally entitled to any of the settlement money, so we were able to settle the case without our client owing any medical bills to anyone.  We recovered the full amount of the 4 insurance policies, totaling an additional $320,000 for our client.

Client was driving home when. Car turned directly in front of him at the last second.  Crash data showed my client had been speeding, but not significantly.  Car insurance company’s Initial offer on the case was only $75,000.  We filed a lawsuit against the other driver.  I hired an expert to give opinions about my clients need for future treatment.  I obtain doctor’s opinions on my client’s future possible surgeries and provided them to an expert who calculated a medical cost projection to determine how much money he would have to pay for future treatment.

Once I obtained the medical cost projection, I wrote the insurance company’s lawyer and demanded the they pay their entire $250,000 insurance policy within the next 30 days, or the I would proceed to a jury trial and seek more than just the $250,000 policy.  Within 5 days, the lawyer agreed to pay the entire $250,000 policy to my client.

Client was exiting the highway when a vehicle drove the wrong way onto the exit ramp and crashed head-on into our clients vehicle.  The at fault driver claimed she was not responsible for the crash because she was “following google maps” which told her to drive onto the exit ramp.  We filed a lawsuit, and her lawyer again refused to accept responsibility for the accident, despite the at fault driver being charge day the police for driving the wrong way on an exit ramp.

When we presented the case to the jury, I played a video of the at fault driver refusing to take responsibility, blaming google maps, and accusing my client of faking her broken wrist injury.  I played a video of my client’s surgeon describing the extent of the injury, the screws and plates that were placed into her wrist during surgery, and what her future would look like with that injury.  I told the jury that the Defendant was refusing to take responsibility for a crash that was obviously her fault, and that the jury needed to deter this kind of behavior by awarding money to my client.

I showed the jury pictures of the crash, including bloody photos from inside the vehicle, and photos of my client at the hospital before and after surgery.  The jury deliberated for a couple of hours and returned a verdict of $203,757.09 including costs and interest.  The initial offer on the case was only $42,000.

We notified the truck driver’’s insurance that our client was catastrophically injured.  We asked them to pay their entire $30,000 policy within 30 days or we would file a lawsuit.  Their insurance refused to pay the $30,000, claiming that their driver was working for DoorDash at the time and therefore there was no insurance coverage on the vehicle.  We contacted the at fault driver and confirmed that he had already dropped off the DoorDash delivery, and was therefore no longer technically working for DoorDash at the time of the crash.  After 30 days, we filed a lawsuit against the truck driver and served a copy of the lawsuit on his insurance company.  They again refused to pay anything. We brought the lawsuit to court and obtained a judgment against the truck driver for $1 million.  We contacted the insurance company with the $1 million judgment and filed an insurance bad faith lawsuit against the insurance company, for failing to pay the original $30,000 request within the time period we gave them.

The insurance company hired a lawyer to defend the insurance bad faith lawsuit.  The insurance company lawyer acknowledged that they should have defended the case and paid the $30,000 when they had the chance.  We negotiated and settled the case for $1,282,000 for our client.
