In this case, our client, who was leaving a dry wedding reception, was involved in an accident where the Defendant ran a stop sign. Defendant initially asserted that our client was intoxicated and speeding and Defendant’s insurance company offered $4,000. Suit was immediately filed, and a trial date was obtained. During the course of discovery, Defendant’s deposition was taken and the Defendant struggled with providing support for his initial positions. While the Defendant testified that he saw beer bottles fall out of our client’s car, witnesses at the scene were deposed and testified to no such incident taking place. We were able to depose the father of the bride, who hosted the reception. He testified that no alcohol was served and, when he arrived at the scene, he saw no evidence of alcoholic beverages, as well as no indication of drinking. After moving to strike the Defendant’s pleadings, the insurance company tendered the entirety of the $100,000.00 bodily injury policy. In addition to the policy, we were able to obtain an extra $25,000.00 from our client’s uninsured motorist provider.
In this case, our clients were rear-ended by a semi tractor trailer while in traffic on I-95. Although the accident happened at a low speed, the weight of the truck was enough to cause frame damage to our clients’ vehicle. In the presuit process, we were able to obtain a global offer of $250,000.00 to resolve their matter.
In this case, our client unfortunately attempted to cross a road without a proper crossing signal. As a semi tractor trailer approached the intersection to turn left, our client was in the middle of the crosswalk. Despite adequate time to stop, the driver continued forward, not noticing our client. As a result, the semi tractor trailer hit our client, killing her instantly. The Defendants initially offered zero dollars, arguing that our client was more than fifty (50) percent liable for the accident.
In this case, our client suffered a knee injury when she was entering a chair that was improperly positioned at a salon and makeup store. The initial offer on the case was $7,500.00. After discussing this with our client, the choice was made to file suit. During discovery, we were able to catch the stylist in multiple lies, as well as learn about the manager’s sudden lapse in memory (largely due to her attempt to become re-employed at the Defendant’s shop). Not long after these depositions, we were able to negotiate a favorable settlement for our client.
In this case, our minor client was involved in a motor vehicle accident. Unfortunately, the accident resulted in back injuries that necessitated extensive treatment. Initially, the insurance company only offered our client $2,000.00. After filing suit and obtaining a trial date, the insurance company tendered the entire $100,000.00 to our client.
In this case, our client was side-swiped by a vehicle pulling out of a shopping plaza. Unfortunately, the Defendant fled the scene and later denied being involved in the accident. The insurance company took his word and fully denied liability. Suit was filed and discovery was conducted. Once a trial date was obtained and the Defendant was set for deposition, the insurance company decided to tender the policy to our client.
In this case, our client was injured in a head-on collision while traveling down U.S. 17. Following the accident, our client required surgery on her knee due to a severe tear of the meniscus. Our client also suffered from pain in the neck and back. During the presuit process, it was discovered that the Defendant did not have a valid license and took his parent’s car out. After negotiations, we were able to obtain the full policy limits from the bodily injury provider, as well as our client’s uninsured/underinsured motorist provider.
In this case, our client was the passenger on a motorcycle that was hit by a drunk driver, resulting in severe injuries to our client. There was only $25,000.00 in insurance coverage which was less than adequate to satisfy our client’s demands. After filing suit and receiving permission from the court to pursue punitive damages, the Defendant agreed to a $3,000,000.00 consent judgment with no covenant not to execute.
In this case, our client was turning left when a semi tractor trailer ran a red light and collided with our client. During the pre-suit process, inadequate offers were provided to our client, resulting in authority being obtained to pursue a lawsuit. After suit was filed, Defendants continued to offer inadequate amounts, with offers in the amount of $40,000.00 to $45,000.00. All offers were rejected. Shortly before trial, Defendants agreed to pay $200,000.00 to our client, which our client agreed to accept.
In this case, the Defendant attempted a left-hand turn, right into the path of our client. Without the necessity of litigation, we were able to obtain the $50,000.00 bodily injury policy limit, as well as our client’s $50,000.00 uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage limit. At the conclusion of the case, our client was thoroughly pleased with the result we obtained.
In this case, our client was rear-ended by a car while driving on an on-ramp for the Polk Parkway. Due to inadequate pre-suit offers, suit was filed and a trial date was obtained. Defendant provided numerous offers below the policy limits – ranging from $36,000.00 to $60,000.00 – which were all rejected. Eventually, Defendant tendered the entirety of the policy to our client.
