This case took a long time, but exemplifies why you do not let an insurance company force you to settle your claim cheaply before you have a full understanding of the severity of your damages.

Our client was injured years ago (2013) when a drunk driver crashed into the rear of her vehicle.  Due to the injuries suffered in this crash, our client was required to undergo multiple surgeries to various parts of her body over the years.  Her medical bills exceeded $1.2 million dollars.  More expensive care will certainly be required over the course of her lifetime.  Unfortunately, the drunk driver who negligently caused the crash had very little insurance, but our client had wisely purchased Uninsured Motorist Protection benefits in the amount of $100,000 to protect herself in a moment like this.  Despite being given multiple chances to settle this obviously significant claim for the UM policy limits, our client’s own insurance company did not timely pay the UM limits. This case was settled literally on the eve of trial.  Due to the confidential nature of the settlement, we cannot disclose who the insurance carrier is, but it is an auto insurance company who regularly advertises on all forms of media.
