The Challenges
Cases involving uninsured drivers present unique hurdles. Without a direct avenue to recover damages from the at-fault driver, we turned to our client’s own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage to pursue compensation. While UM policies are designed to provide coverage in such situations, insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, even in cases of clear liability and severe injuries.
How wE Advocated for Our Client
Recognizing the gravity of our client’s injuries and the negligence involved in the accident, Mark Cantor and our legal team approached the case with a strategic and determined mindset. We worked to build an airtight claim, gathering critical evidence to demonstrate the full extent of the at-fault driver’s recklessness and the life-altering impact on our client.
Our investigation included:
- Documenting the illegal street race that led to the crash.
- Collecting medical records and expert testimony to outline the severity of our client’s personal injuries and their long-term needs.
- Highlighting the emotional and financial burdens placed on our client.
Through persistent negotiation and legal advocacy, we held the insurance company accountable for honoring the policy limits of our client’s uninsured motorist coverage.
The Outcome – $1,000,000 Recovery for Client Paralyzed by Uninsured Driver
Our efforts resulted in a recovery of $1,000,000, the maximum available under our client’s UM policy. While no amount of money can fully undo the trauma of such a life-altering event, this recovery allowed our client to focus on adapting to their circumstances without the added burden of financial uncertainty. The compensation ensured access to high-quality medical care, therapy, and resources to improve their quality of life moving forward.
