Case Description
Our client was a pedestrian lawfully crossing NW 23rd Avenue in a designated crosswalk when a negligent driver, who didn’t have their headlights on, collided with them. The impact resulted in devastating injuries that required extensive medical attention and two surgeries.
Legal Strategy
Veteran personal injury attorney Todd Newlin acted swiftly and obtained the maximum $50,000 policy limits from the at-fault driver's insurance company, showcasing his ability to effectively secure fair compensation.
Challenges
One of the key challenges we faced in this case was dealing with the underinsured motorist claim due to the severity of the client's injuries.
Resolution
Attorney Newlin refused to accept an initial offer of $100,000 from the insurance company to settle the underinsured motorist claim. Instead, he pursued arbitration, and as a result, our client was awarded a substantial $612,000 settlement.
