From $50,000 to $250,000

This is one of our cases that I’m most proud of from 2023.


A guy stole someone's car and then rammed it head-on into my client's car. My client and his family survived but the other driver did not. My client's main physical injury was just a broken leg! Look at that crash photo!

Because the other guy stole the car, the owner's car insurance denied coverage. The guy didn't have car insurance either, so there was zero dollars in liability coverage. My client had a $50,000 uninsured motorists policy to cover him and his family.

After his surgery and everything, my guy alone had about $65,000 in medical bills. The family had over $100,000 in medical bills.



So how did I write him a check for about $85,000 late last year? (And I'm going to write a similar check to his wife this month!)

We did three critical things:
1. We found a bunch of insurance that probably covered this wreck issued in two different states.
2. We convinced the insurance companies that their policies did cover the wreck.
3. We convinced the insurance companies that the policies stacked.

Taking a case like this with $300,000 of insurance money on the table and settling it for $300,000 is easy.

Here's to doing more hard things in 2024!
