This case involved a man who was hit by a drunk driver, and who fled from the crash scene.

Fortunately an independent witness chased down the drunk driver, and he was ultimately arrested. Our client suffered injuries in the crash. Even though the case involved a drunk driver, Geico did not feel the injuries were of significant value to pay the drunk driver’s $50,000 insurance policy. In fact, their top offer before trial was only $15,000! The jury returned a verdict that also included punitive damages for the reckless conduct of the drunk driver.
