Entire Policy Limits Victory
Serious Injury Accident Case: Our client came to us for help after he suffered serious injuries while standing near a fast food drive-through window and the car in line unexpectedly and rapidly accelerated into our client. Our client was thrown in the air and burns (including some third degree burns) over 20 percent of his body.
The initial reaction, due to insurance coverage issue and an attempt to blame the vehicle manufacturer, was a total denial of any liability or payment whatsoever. Our client had suffered life-altering injuries at the time of this incident and the insurance company simply refused to pay. We were undeterred, and continued to fight until the insurance company paid its entire policy limit. Not satisfied, we argued for additional coverage from the same policy and the insurer – which had tried to deny any fault at all – ended up being convinced to pay out two different policy limits to our client.
However, our client owed $135,000 in medical billing liens. With a team effort – led by Alexis Breyer – we convinced the hospital to accept only $1,700 in full payment of the lien – a big victory as it greatly increased the money our client was able to receive.
