Our client was rear-ended by a negligent driver. She had $10K in specials with minor property damage. The Defendant’s insurance has with a minimum limit of $15,000, but was not disclosed at the time of negotiation. The initial offer for our client was $5,612.98. The Defendant’s insurance argued that the impact was low and the treatment was very little. They eventually went up to $6,000.00 during negotiation. I went back and forth with the adjuster, arguing how client had loss wages as a result of the accident. Our client is an optometrist and owns her own business. Me and the client worked together to get those loss wages. We calculated that she lost at least $10,000.00 in loss wages to treat and days where she was not able to take clients/patients. Once it was submitted, The Defendant’s insurance let me know that they will tender their $15,000.00 limit. Our client was extremely happy, not in pain anymore, and felt fairly compensated for what she has gone through.
