Case Details
After receiving a settlement offer of less than $10,000 our client contacted another local attorney about their case. We worked as co-counsel with the referring attorney to assist our client in the recovery she needed and deserved. We faced defenses of “causation” and the argument that the “minor” impact did not cause the client’s injuries. After consulting with the client’s neurosurgeon and providing his written opinion that the crash did lead to the necessity for surgery settlement was finally reached with the vehicle owner’s insurance company, then with the driver’s insurance company, and finally with our client’s own underinsured motorist carrier. Incidentally, the final $25,000 was collected for our client when her own insurance company could not produce a signed UM/UIM rejection form. This happens in less than 5% of our cases, but when the insurer can’t produce this document, the law requires that they provide this coverage to their insureds. This recovery made a difference for our client
Additional Notes
Co-counsel case; defenses of causation and minor impact overcome; neurosurgeon's opinion confirmed need for surgery; final $25,000 collected due to insurer's inability to produce UM/UIM rejection form.
