Competing Injured Claimant and Attorney – $100,000

Our clients were involved in a motor vehicle accident in Lakewood, Ca. As a result of the collision, our clients’ reported significant injuries including neck pain, back pain, left shoulder pain, and left arm pain, which impacted their daily life and sleep. Despite low property damages, our clients remained consistent with their medical treatment, and her case progressed through the demand process. Our team prepared and sent a demand and continued working the claim through negotiation and resolution efforts. The defendant’s insurance company had policy limits of $50,000 / $100,000. Liability was accepted, and the police report was received and noted as favorable.

The insurance company offered their global policy limits of $100,000.00 to our clients and another injured claimant who had an attorney. We successfully negotiated against the other injured claimant’s attorney to maximize our clients’ net result and share of settlement proceeds, which was highly favorable, as our team also worked diligently to negotiate and reduce medical liens, helping maximize the clients’ recovery. The client was very pleased with the outcome.

This case highlights the importance of thorough case handling and persistent follow-through by the Accident Guys team—especially in ensuring the claim is supported with strong documentation and pushing the best possible  for our clients, not only against the at-fault driver’s insurance company, but to ensure our clients’ apportionment of settlement against other injured represented claimants is as high as possible.
