Auto v. Auto – Back to Back Accidents

Our client was involved in a rear end accident that caused minimal damage to his car. The at-fault party, however, was not insured. Therefore, our client presented an uninsured motorist claim with his insurance company for injuries sustained. The insurance company’s initial offer was less than our client’s medical bills and less than half his policy limit. They tried to justify their offer by stating our client did not sustain any real injuries due to minimal property damage. Within a few weeks later, we were able to secure the policy limits for our client.

About 3 months after his first accident, our client was broadsided in a different accident. Despite a favorable police report, the other party tried to apportion liability. As a result, they extended a low offer adding that our client was also injured in a previous accident. In less than a few weeks, we are able to get the insurance company to pay their full limits. Additionally, we were able to get our client’s insurance company to also pay the full $25,000 uninsured motorist policy limits.

What started out as two low offers turned into maximum compensation for our client.
