Results from a lawyer who knows the other side

Our client was a passenger in a rideshare crash and was left bedridden. The first offer was $50,000. We found additional coverage the insurers hadn’t disclosed and demanded it be tendered, then filed suit when the offers stayed unserious for the injury. Total recovery: $1.25 million.

Our client was broadsided by a car while riding. The first offer was minimal. We advised waiting until the full extent of the injuries was clear rather than settling early. A few months later, when conservative treatment failed, the client needed surgery, and the case resolved for the full policy limits.

Our client fell on a dangerous staircase at a vacation rental. With no witnesses, the owner’s insurer disputed fault. When conventional evidence wasn’t enough, we used accident-reconstruction technology to prove how the fall happened and why the staircase was to blame. Recovery: $810,000.

Our client suffered a medical emergency on an overseas flight home and spent months in intensive care. To prove the airline could have limited the harm, we reconstructed the flight minute by minute: which airports were within reach for a diversion at each point, and which had a trauma-level hospital nearby. The case resolved on confidential terms.

The at-fault driver’s insurer tendered its limits, but our client’s own UM/UIM carrier resisted the larger claim: a brain injury whose symptoms did not appear right away. We advised the client not to rush, arranged the additional neurological testing needed to document the injury, and resolved the claim for $670,000.

Our client tripped on a defective jet bridge while boarding a major airline’s flight. The airline disputed responsibility for the walkway. The case resolved on confidential terms.

The insurer’s first offer was $0; they disputed fault entirely. We moved fast to secure the other driver’s event data recorder before it could be lost, and the data confirmed reckless driving. That $0 became $575,000.
