Illegal U-turn, Extreme Low Ball Offer – $110,000

The case of the month was a $110,000.00 personal injury settlement for an illegal U-turn accident, where the at fault party cut in front of our client causing the front of his vehicle to strike the driver’s side of the at fault vehicle. Our client’s vehicle had moderate damage to its front end and the impact caused him to suffer from a neck, lower back, and left shoulder injury. Additionally, our client missed over a month of work as a result of the accident.

Our client underwent extensive conservative treatment without any injections. His treatment included chiropractic care, massage, physical therapy, imaging, and limited neurological treatment. His medical specials were just over $30,000.00.

Our client’s auto insurance, only provided a lowball $2,666.64 offer pre-arbitration. Our client was not willing to accept anything less than the maximum policy limits through his underinsured motorist policy.

After months of litigation, including but not limited to deposition and written discovery, we sent a policy limits demand which was accepted by the insurance. Ultimately, our client received a $15,000.00 policy limits tender from the negligent tortfeasor, $85,000.00 through his underinsured motorist policy, and $10,000.00 through an optional insurance add-on he had. All available compensation for the accident was attained. Initially, our client was frustrated with the process but he put his faith in our firm to keep moving forward. He was very thankful and relieved with the end result.
