W.L. vs. "Confidential" Insurance Company

Motorcycle Accident Case: This was a case with a terrible injury to a fantastic individual. When our client contacted us, we knew immediately that an attorney was unnecessary. We explained that our involvement in the case would only create attorneys’ fees that would take money away from our deserving client. We provided free advice to the client and explained to him how he should go about settling the case. Usually this is not as easy, but due the way his case was set up a lawyer was of no value at the time. Unfortunately, when the insurance company realized he was not working with a lawyer, the insurance company apparently saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They refused to pay the $100,000 they owed our client. We quickly got working on his case and were able to get the full amount of policy limits $100,000 and we then forced the insurance company to pay an additional $33,333 for our attorney's fees so that our client would not be harmed a single penny due to our involvement. Generally, the attorneys’ fees are deducted from the settlement, but the conduct of this insurance carrier led to an even better result for our client than if he had called any lawyer that would have tried to get involved immediately in the case.
