Hit by Drunk Driver – $50,000

Published: 06/01/2023

When our client became a victim of a drink-driving accident, she was faced with life-changing consequences. The trauma of a traffic light pole crashing onto her car during a stop at a red light resulted in severe physical injuries, significant emotional distress, and even Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). With medical bills totaling $29,000 and the at-fault party having a $50,000 policy limit, our client was initially offered a disappointing settlement of $20,107 by State Farm Insurance.

Our firm tenaciously advocated for the client and refused to accept the insurance company’s low-ball offer. We warned State Farm of potential bad faith and sent a detailed pre-suit letter outlining the potential ramifications of State Farm’s unreasonable and dismissive offers. We emphasized the gross undervaluation of our client’s claim.

In response, State Farm did a complete 180 and agreed to pay our client the full policy limits of $50,000. This case is testament to our relentless pursuit of the rightful compensation personal injury victims deserve. Our client felt vindicated, heard, and was very happy with the result.
