Auto Accident

A wife and mother of two, on her way to the grocery store on a Saturday morning in the gated community of Landfall, was hit head-on by another driver. The plaintiff suffered severe injuries to her legs, knee and ankle, and was immobile for over a month. She had a permanent partial disability rating of 6 percent, but otherwise made a full medical recovery. At the scene of the wreck, the Wilmington police officer used his dashboard camera to survey the damage of the wreck and captured video tape of the plaintiff being loaded into the ambulance. This footage is rare, and helped in describing the trauma of the scene and the resulting injuries. The insurance company was represented by an experienced and senior claims representative, and recovery of $200,000 was made after nearly three months’ negotiations.

Auto Accident

Woody represented a UNCW College student, who was involved in a serious collision with a drunk driver. The collision occurred at the corner of Martin Luther King Highway and S. College Road, and the drunk driver registered a .21 on the Intoxilyzer. The wreck caused the UNCW student to suffer a severe broken leg, and he needed two surgeries to fully repair his leg. The drunk driver was also driving the car without having any insurance, and Woody worked with the UNCW student’s family in stacking insurance coverage from two different policies that provided coverage. The settlement represented full recovery from all applicable policies.

We represented the widow in her estate proceeding, and were successful in combining 3 different insurance policies for a combined recovery of $680,000.00. Although no amount of money would ever be enough to replace her lost husband, this recovery will allow her to stay in her home, and aid as she moves on with her life. Because our attorneys are experienced in the complexities of liability and Underinsured insurance coverages, we guided her through this tough time with as favorable an outcome as could be expected, under these difficult circumstances.
