As we always say, the important phase of every personal injury case starts at the very inception.

Spinal Injuries
Settled
$250,000.00 (1st- and 3rd-party settlements) Policy limits
An effective litigator is aggressive about the right things, for the right reasons, and at the right time. The client in this case came to a complete stop due to traffic ahead. He was then rear-ended at a high rate of speed causing extensive injuries to client and other parties involved in the chain reaction crash. At that time, the liability was disputed with the traffic report placing our client at fault for the accident. Unfortunately, our client did not have a dash-camera in their vehicle. After hiring an expert, and having them extract certain data from our client’s vehicle, we were able to establish that our client was not responsible for the accident. After lengthy negotiations with the responsible party’s insurance company and a subsequent underinsured motorist claim, the matter was resolved for the limits.
