How WE Advocated for Our Client
When our client came to us, they were dealing not only with the physical trauma of their injuries but also the financial burden of mounting medical bills and lost income. Mark Cantor and our team immediately got to work, investigating the incident and building a strong case against the distracted driver.
We first pursued the automobile insurance policy limits of the at-fault driver, which we successfully recovered. However, recognizing the severity of our client’s injuries and the long-term impact on their life, we didn’t stop there. Our team uncovered the existence of an umbrella insurance policy held by the driver and filed a lawsuit to seek additional compensation under this policy.
The Outcome – $400,000 Recovery for Pedestrian Injured by Distracted Driver
Our strategic approach and relentless determination paid off. The driver’s insurance company recognized the strength of our case and agreed to pay an additional amount under the umbrella insurance policy, bringing the total recovery to $400,000.
Client Impact and Recovery
This settlement provided our client with the financial resources needed to cover their medical bills, including the costs of surgery and follow-up care. It also offered compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident, helping our client regain stability and focus on their recovery.
