$1.250 Million dollar settlement for injured motorcyclist
We represented an injured motorcyclist who was struck due to the negligence on an elderly driver in La Quinta. Through our diligence in negotiation, litigation and presentation of a clear picture of our client’s damages, we were able to obtain the full policy limit of the driver’s insurance, as well as an excess “umbrella coverage” policy we discovered. Even though our client did sustain serious injuries, through our thorough file work up at each level of the case, the insurance company tendered the full policy limits which may have exceeded the value of our client’s case, due to their fear they may be exposed to a bad faith claim for their handling of the negotiations.

$100,000 settlement for injured worker against “co-employee”
Normally an employee injured on the job by a fellow co-worker, is limited to worker compensation as a remedy. Our client was hit by a car in the parking lot of her school sustaining injuries. We obtained a full settlement for her work injuries from the Worker’s Compensation Insurance Company, but were also able to settle with the automobile insurance company of the negligent driver, when our investigation revealed that, while he worked as a teacher at the same school, he was technically employed by another agency, thereby allowing our client to file a lawsuit against the fellow teacher for negligence. We were able to settle for the full policy limits.
