Settlement: $1,500,o00
Attorney: Adam Smith & Gene Riddle
Our client suffered a concussion, laceration, and road rash in a collision when his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle driven by an out-of-state driver. Our client incurred approximately $30,000 in medical bills. The driver’s insurance company tendered their $100,000 limits and asked for a release of all claims. As with most of our cases, we don’t just settle right away or after the initial offers. We do our homework. We were able to locate a second insurance policy that covered a business owned by the at-fault driver. As expected, that insurance policy denied coverage. We filed suit. We promptly mediated the case and were able to resolve the claim for an additional payment of $400,000.
