Our client was seriously injured when another driver ran a red light and crashed into his car at high speed. He suffered multiple fractures, including two broken vertebrae in his neck, a broken foot, a broken wrist, and a fractured pelvis. Despite the clear severity of his injuries, both his insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer initially denied his claim, arguing that he caused the crash.
Through careful investigation, our attorney located a key eyewitness who confirmed that our client had a green left-turn arrow. In contrast, the witness relied on by the defense later admitted during deposition that he could not actually see the traffic lights. This testimony, along with evidence exposing the flaws in the insurers’ investigation, shifted the case in our client’s favor.
After depositions and litigation strategy made the evidence undeniable, both insurance companies agreed to pay. Our client recovered the full available policy limits from the at-fault driver and a significant settlement from his underinsurance motorist policy, resulting in a $250,000 settlement.
