Our client was hit while walking on the cross walk. Her body struck the hood of the defendant’s car before falling flat on the concrete. She sustained cuts on her face, scrapes to her hand and right knee, and abrasions and bruises across her body. She was hospitalized for a few days as a result. Luckily, she did not have any fractures, etc.

While, her meds were not much,  about $15,000 on a $100,000 insurance policy, it was taking a while to get all the medical records from our client’s ER visit. So we decided to hot demand it. The defendant’s insurance kept insisting for an extension until all of the medical records have been submitted. We pushed them hard for two months until they made an offer of $43,927.00. The defendant’s insurance was still bent on getting all the records, we started to fight harder, threatening that the policy is not open and that this bad faith. We sent pre-suit letters to the defendants as well. After 5 months of pushing them, we were able to get the $100,000 limits, which is what our client deserves. She is happy with the outcome.
