Success Story Saturday: From $11,000 to $100,000.00
*Results Matter. Small Firm Attention. Big Firm Results.
RSC Law attorney Robert Correia recently settled our clients’ auto injury lawsuit for $100,000.00. Our clients—a married couple—hired us after being injured in an automobile crash while on their way home from dinner. An uninsured driver pulled out in front of our clients causing the crash. In Minnesota, when an uninsured driver causes a crash, you turn to your own auto policy to make an uninsured motorist (“UM”) claim. UM coverage is mandated by Minnesota law to protect injury victims when an uninsured driver’s negligence causes injuries to someone.
Robert worked with our clients to ensure that they were on the best path forward to recover from their injuries. After completing their treatment, our clients’ auto insurance company offered a total of only $11,000 to our clients for their UM claims, which it described as its’ “best offer.” Although our clients did not sustain catastrophic or life altering injuries, they both missed over a month of work and required nearly a year of treatment to recover from their injuries.
We agreed to move forward with a lawsuit. The goal being to get our clients’ auto insurance company to pay fair and reasonable amounts for their UM claims in line with our client’s injuries. The discovery process and depositions revealed sincere and credible evidence as to the impact the injuries had on our clients’ lives because of the crash.
At the start of our clients’ mediation, their auto insurance was still undervaluing their injuries and damages. Real progress was finally made as the mediation progressed. For the first time, auto insurance started making settlement offers that were in line with what they should have been from the start. The lawsuit settled for a total of $100,000.00 at mediation.
With a total recovery almost 10 times more than the “best offer” before the lawsuit, our clients will receive an amount of money that is in line with their injuries. When insurance companies know that your lawyer will not only start a lawsuit, but more importantly, take the case to trial if they do not pay what they should, it makes a real difference time and time again—as it did here for our clients.
The lawyer you choose makes all the difference.
Congratulations to our clients. All of us at RSC Law wish them and their family the very best moving forward.
