Arguments by Defense
Disputing the Severity of Injuries: The insurance company argued that the client’s injuries were not as severe as claimed and that the client’s recovery time was exaggerated. Blaming the Client: They suggested that the client’s own actions, such as not wearing a seatbelt properly or speeding, contributed to the severity of the injuries.
Lowballing the Settlement: The insurer attempted to minimize their payout by undervaluing the client’s lost wages and medical expenses, arguing that many of the treatments were unnecessary.
Solutions
Medical Expert Testimony: We collaborated with medical experts to present detailed evidence of the injuries and their long-term impact on the client’s health and ability to work. Accident Reconstruction: By recreating the accident scenario, we were able to disprove the defense’s claims about the client’s fault and demonstrate that the injuries were solely due to the impact.
Aggressive Negotiation: We used the strength of our evidence and the prospect of going to trial to push the insurance company to significantly increase their offer.
Results
Substantial Settlement: Our efforts led to a settlement that was more than triple the initial offer, fully covering the client’s medical expenses, lost wages, and providing additional compensation for pain and suffering.
Client Peace of Mind: The client was able to focus on recovery without the stress of financial insecurity, knowing that their medical and personal needs were fully addressed.
