Another $100,000 policy limits settlement!

This was a low speed crash with minor property damage. Insurance companies typically fight these type of cases tooth and nail.

The accident exacerbated my client’s scoliosis. I was able to use the past 5 years of my client’s medical records to establish what her condition was like pre-accident. We reached a full policy limit settlement after extensive negotiations.

As a referral based business, I frequently forget to post on social media. Every now and then I like to share some wins. Here are four recent policy limits settlements for four different clients.

Of these I am proudest of the $100,000 settlement. My client came to me after having been denied by the insurance company because he had been in two accidents. Causation was difficult.

He was injured in the first accident which he did not cause. He didn’t get treatment until after the second accident about two weeks later which he had caused.

Despite the second accident being significantly worse than the first and medical records saying the incorrect knee was hurt, we prevailed in obtaining the full $100,000 limits.

$145,000 Total Settlement for a client involved in a multiple vehicle interstate crash. Thankfully my client had a dashboard camera that proved she acted prudently.

I am happy to have helped my client overcome the insurance company’s initial determination that other vehicles were 70% at fault. This $95,000 settlement is in addition to two other $25,000 policies that we had already received for a total of $145,000.

$275,000 Total Settlement!

My client was hit while crossing the street in Kirkwood. She hired me after the insurance company had been hounding her for a recorded statement. The problem? Her memory of events conflicted with almost all of the known facts. With no witnesses or camera footage, she was in a tough spot because the driver alleged she was jaywalking.

In Missouri, crossing the street outside the crosswalk can lead to a pedestrian being found partially or completely at fault for their injuries.

After getting to know her, I knew she was not lying. She had sustained a head injury that made her a bad witness.

We were able to show that the objects found in the street were consistent with her being in the crosswalk. The responding officer found her reading glasses in the crosswalk. Her phone was found 10 feet or so north of the crosswalk. From his years of investigating pedestrian accidents, the officer believed that lighter items are usually found where the pedestrian is hit, while the heavier items will slide away from the point of impact.

Cases like these are why I became a lawyer. The satisfaction of helping people through difficult times is second to none. This woman has a beautiful way of looking at the world that is infectious. She really did not care about the money, she wanted to show the insurance company that they could not push her around. I am grateful for the role I played to make sure they didn't.

$100,000 Policy Limit Settlement!

This was a tough case. The at fault driver was a felon who lied about several important details. I fought hard and was able to prove my client’s story was the right one. We settled this case after months of litigation.

This recent $120,000 settlement shows how the large punitive damage verdicts you hear about in the news have an impact that go well beyond the parties to that particular lawsuit. These verdicts serve an important societal function. Not only do large punitive damage verdicts punish bad corporate actors from making unsafe or unhealthy products, in Missouri some of that money is put aside from those verdicts to help people with bad injuries and low limits recover something.

My client lost her leg as a result of circulation issues after breaking it in an accident while a passenger when her car crashed due to an uninsured motorist last year. I had a difficult time getting the insurance company reversing their initial liability decision. Once they did, we settled for the $50,000 uninsured limits, which was not nearly enough to compensate my client.

I obtained a $300,000 settlement for my client in the Missouri Tort Victims Compensation Fund, which is funded by punitive damage verdicts. This year the fund paid settlements out at 40%, allowing my client to recover much needed additional compensation.

More settlements to share! This latest $100,000 settlement was the result of a hard fought underinsured motorist claim. My client had significant pre-existing back injuries going back over a decade. Sifting through hundreds of pages of medical records, we were able to show how his symptoms evolved after the crash.

This $50,000 underinsured policy was "stacked" to reach the full $100,000 settlement. My client insured two vehicles under his policy, allowing the limits to be doubled.
