Case Results

Our Family Helping You & Your Family

  • PERSONAL INJURY

    $425,000 RECOVERY

    After receiving a settlement offer of less than $10,000 our client contacted another local attorney about their case. We worked as co-counsel with the referring attorney to assist our client to the recovery she needed and deserved. We faced defenses of “causation” and the argument that the “minor” impact did not cause the client’s injuries. After consulting with the client’s neurosurgeon and providing his written opinion that the crash did lead to the necessity for surgery settlement was finally reached with the vehicle owner’s insurance company, then with the driver’s insurance company, and finally with our client’s own underinsured motorist carrier. Incidentally, the final $25,000 was collected for our client when her own insurance company could not produce a signed UM/UIM rejection form. This happens in less than 5% of our cases, but when the insurer can’t produce this document, the law requires that they provide this coverage to their insureds. This recovery made a difference for our client.

  • PERSONAL INJURY

    $300,000 RECOVERY

    Our client suffered back injuries and was required to wear an upper body back brace for weeks during his recovery period. He was off work for many months from the crash. Prompt scene investigation verified that the at-fault driver not only ran the red blinking signal, but also failed to see the road marking with a stop bar and the stop sign on the highway. This recovery made a difference for our client.

  • PERSONAL INJURY

    $275,000 RECOVERY

    While traveling to Florida for vacation, our client was rear-ended at almost 60 miles an hour by the at-fault driver. Sadly, after the crash, our client received word that back surgery was required and he was immediately summoned back to the hospital after his initial release. Recovery was made from the at-fault driver and then from our client’s own under insured motorist coverage. This recovery made a difference for our client

  • PERSONAL INJURY

    $260,000 RECOVERY

    Our client sustained a serious leg/foot injury when the at-fault driver turned left in front of her. A video presentation of her vehicle, the scene, and our client’s life changing injury was prepared within 3 months of her injury. The policy limits from the at-fault party were quickly offered and our client’s underinsured motorist carrier paid their limits within days of our demand for a total recovery of $260,000 for our client. This recovery made a difference for our client.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Questions

  • What is my case worth?

    Answer

    Every case is different and it would be irresponsible to give a ballpark number or dollar amount for your specific claim. There are several things that we will need to consider before determining the potential amount of financial compensation available in your situation. In the most general sense, you may be able to recover economic and non-economic damages, such as medical care, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and more.

  • What if I received an insurance settlement?

    Answer

    We know that the last thing you may want is a long, drawn-out legal battle. Unfortunately, accepting the first settlement check that comes your way could actually end up jeopardizing your future and your overall well-being. Insurance companies are notorious for providing pitifully low-ball offers to accident victims. We are prepared to fight to make sure your case is valued to the fullest extent so that you receive the proper financial recovery you need and deserve.

  • I’ve heard about a black box. What role does this play?

    Answer

    Most commercial vehicles, including big rigs and semi-trucks, are equipped with electronic on-board recorders. These are also commonly known as a “black box.” This recorder stores data about a truck’s behavior, such as speed or brake application, in the event of an accident or collision. Due to the nature of this recorded information, it is crucial that you act immediately after an accident in order to preserve this evidence before it is deleted or erased.

  • When should I contact a lawyer?

    Answer

    Because there is a time limit on when you can file a truck accident claim, it is highly important that you speak with a legal professional immediately after a collision. Because these cases are extremely time-sensitive, you will not have the luxury of taking your time. Speak with us today to learn more about your State’s statute of limitations and we can help you take the first step towards getting the justice you deserve.
