Our client was struck when another driver ran a red light, causing what initially appeared to be a relatively minor accident. However, the collision resulted in blunt force trauma that led doctors to determine he needed a pacemaker before he could be released from the hospital.
We quickly secured the at-fault driver’s $100,000 policy limits, but this alone wouldn’t cover our client’s medical costs. We then filed a claim with our client’s own underinsured motorist carrier, but were denied further coverage, claiming the crash could not have caused such a heart injury.
Drawing on both strong medical support and our attorney’s own personal experience with a similar heart condition, we successfully challenged the denial. Our client ultimately received a $500,000 settlement, ensuring our client received the compensation he needed for her life-altering injury.
