The defendants’ insurance carrier was had a $100,000 liability policy limit. The insurance initially offered our client $26,380.12 to settle the case. The insurance’s top settlement offer, before we filed a lawsuit, was $30,030.12. After filing the lawsuit and litigating the case for three months, the insurance agree to tender their $100,000 policy limits. On top of that, we also sued the rental car agency as we discovered the defendant was driving a rental car at the time of the collision. We were able to settle our client’s case against the rental car agency for their owner-liability for an additional $20,000, making the total settlement $120,000. Our client was ecstatic with the settlement and thankful for our work, as he received more than he was ever expecting.
