One Rear-End Collision. Two Insurers. Full Recovery.
Our Client Was Rear-Ended and We Left No Dollar on the Table
Settlement:
$350,000.00
Settlement:
$350,000.00
$100,000.00 (Third-Party) + $250,000.00 (Underinsured Motorist)Details
A rear-end collision may sound straightforward, but maximizing recovery for a seriously injured client requires a deep understanding of how insurance policies interact and what rights injured people have beyond the at-fault driver's coverage.
In this case, our client was rear-ended by a driver whose policy limits were exhausted at $100,000.00.
Recognizing that our client's injuries and damages exceeded what the at-fault driver's insurance could cover, Edgett Hawk immediately turned to our client's own underinsured motorist coverage and secured an additional $250,000.00 from the first-party insurer.
The total recovery was $350,000.00, achieved by knowing exactly where to look and refusing to accept a partial settlement as the final word.
If you have been seriously injured in a car accident, the at-fault driver's policy may just be the beginning of what you are owed.
