Pre-Existing Injuries Made worse by T-Bone Accident

Published: 12/20/2021

Our client was t-boned, causing her to spin out of control and hit two parked cars.  What was unique about our client here was that she had extensive prior injuries and medical treatment due to a host of prior conditions.  The client’s pre-existing conditions were made worse by this accident, requiring her to see a Pain Management doctor, gets MRIs, and receive trigger point injections.  We were able to quickly secure the at-fault party’s $15,000 policy limits for our client, and then began working on securing her remaining $85,000 underinsured motorist coverage limits. 

Dealing with our client’s own insurance company proved more challenging. They initially offered $12,500. We considered that a ’non-offer’ and fought hard for them to take this case seriously, which they clearly were not. After several rounds of negotiations, threatening arbitration, and perseverance, we went from an initial offer of $12,500 to $85,000.  Needless to say, client was very happy with our work and has even referred her sister to our office.
