Our client was driving with his mother when another driver recklessly changed lanes. This caused a 4-car pile-up. The at-fault driver was arrested on the scene for drunk driving.
Our client was initially offered $7,000, which wasn’t enough to cover the medical bills from the accident. Our team of drunk driving accident attorneys assumed responsibility for the case during ongoing negotiations.
The insurance adjuster claimed that the ER bills were “overpriced” and continued to offer our client a low settlement. We directed the adjuster’s attention to the fact that the at-fault driver was drunk while the accident occurred, and the adjuster didn’t seem to care about helping our client or protecting their insured. We then informed the insurance company that we would pursue legal action if the matter wasn't resolved in a legally appropriate manner to protect their insured. Following this discussion, the insurance company offered our client a $25,000 settlement, which his was more than enough to pay for our client’s medical bills.
“We’re not afraid to call out insurance adjusters that only have their company's best interest in mind. We’ll always fight for our clients.”
Attorney Kelly St. John
