Case Details
My 45 year old client was driving his vehicle home from the gym when a DUI driver crossed over into his lane, striking his vehicle and causing him serious surgical injuries. Fixing his car cost over $14,000. Due to the DUI of the at fault driver, I was quickly able to convince the insurance company to pay the maximum limits on the policy. The real fight in this case was with my client’s own insurance company on the UIM (underinsured motorist) policy. My client required a neck surgery because of the accident, but his insurance company refused to pay the additional monies needed that he had contracted with them for. I aggressively litigated the case against my client’s insurance company, quickly showing them that we would never give up like most attorneys do when the case gets difficult. After several months of hard fought litigation, my client’s insurance company agreed to pay the maximum monies of the policy.
Additional Notes
Settled after aggressive litigation against both at-fault driver's insurance and client's UIM policy.
