Attorney’s on Case

We successfully represented the family of a young man who died following a motor vehicle collision with an impaired driver. Our client’s vehicle was struck by a drunk driver, and we reached a settlement with the applicable auto insurance company for the available insurance policy limits. We also pursued a “dram shop” action against the bar where the drunk driver consumed alcohol prior to the collision. We retained an expert accident reconstructionist, a private investigator, and a toxicologist to uncover evidence that the bar should have stopped serving alcohol to the defendant driver. Our aggressive legal tactics helped us convince the defendants to settle with us for the insurance policy limits of the bar.

$162,000

Drunk Driving Accident
Settlement: $162,000
Attorney’s on Case

Our client (25 years old) was traveling on the back of a motorcycle when rear-ended by a drunk driver. Our client suffered a concussion, bleeding in the lungs, and a labral tear requiring hip surgery. As an active MMA fighter trained in Jiu-Jitsu, the injuries severely hampered her training. The drunk driver had no insurance, requiring our firm to search for other coverages. We secured a $30,000 tender under our client’s uninsured insurance policy. After months of negotiation, we also successfully argued that she was a resident of her parents’ household and obtained another $132,000 in uninsured motorist coverage. The total settlement of $162,000 was possible due to our diligent effort to locate all available insurance coverage.

$42,500

Drunk Driving Accident
Settlement: $42,500
Attorney’s on Case

Our client’s vehicle was hit by a driver charged with driving while intoxicated. Our client saw her primary care physician 5 days later. A few days later, she began treatment with a chiropractor and was released after 6 weeks. The insurance company told us that they could not engage in any settlement discussions until the DWI charges were resolved. We filed suit in Wayne County. The adjuster then offered us $8,000 to settle, which barely covered our medical bills of $7,500. Two days later a defense attorney contacted us and the case soon settled for $42,500.
