Our client was an experienced motorcycle rider who was injured when an unknown hit-and-run driver sideswiped him, causing him to fall off his motorcycle at a high rate of speed. The other driver tried to pass him by switching lanes into on-coming traffic and veered back so quickly that he hit our client on his motorcycle. The at-fault driver did not stop therefore this was an uninsured motorist (UM) claim. Before our representation our client’s insurance carrier would only offer $22,000 to the client, which was not enough to even cover the medical bills.
Our office not only got them to pay their limits of $100,000 we also uncovered additional policies that provided coverage for our client and obtained the policy limits there as well. Our team of attorneys and paralegals are specially trained in exploring all avenues for coverage if the initial policy limits are not enough. In this case by finding the additional policy and forcing the UM claims to be handled properly, we obtained the combined limits of $200,000 from the $22,000 initial offer.
This process also was relatively quick for our client, and he had the money in a few months. If you need someone to help you find coverage for your injuries and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve, please contact Travis Legal Offices, LLC for a free consultation.
