Our client, a young man, was a backseat passenger when the driver of his vehicle lost control and crashed into another car. The cause of the accident was initially unclear, requiring an extensive investigation.

After thoroughly examining the circumstances surrounding the crash, we built a strong case demonstrating liability. As a result, we secured a full policy limits settlement from the insurance company, ensuring our client received the compensation he deserved for his injuries.

Our client, a young man, was stopped at a red light when another vehicle struck him from behind. The impact caused a torn labrum in his shoulder, requiring surgery and forcing him to miss several months of work.

Despite the severity of his injuries, we successfully negotiated a full settlement of both the at-fault driver’s liability coverage and our client’s underinsured motorist coverage without the need to file a lawsuit. This ensured he received fair compensation for his medical expenses, lost wages, and recovery.

Our client, a young woman, was traveling in the left lane of the interstate, passing another vehicle, when the driver ahead of her suddenly slammed on his brakes and made an illegal turn into an emergency U-turn area designated only for authorized vehicles. Witnesses confirmed what happened, and the police cited the reckless driver, who later claimed he was trying to turn around after seeing a deer.

Our client had no time to react and crashed into the rear of his vehicle, suffering a catastrophic ankle injury that required surgery and extensive rehabilitation. She initially hired another local law firm, but when the at-fault driver’s insurance company denied liability, her attorney dropped the case. Shocked by this decision, she came to us.

We aggressively pursued the case, making it clear to the insurance company that we were fully prepared to take it to trial—confident that no jury would rule in favor of their driver. As a result, the liability insurer paid its policy limits, and we then secured additional compensation from our client’s underinsured motorist coverage, ensuring she received the financial support necessary for her recovery and future needs.

Our client, a young woman, was T-boned by a driver attempting to turn into a gas station. The impact caused her vehicle to spin and crash into a pole. While her initial injuries were treated, it became clear over the following weeks that she was suffering from persistent post-concussion syndrome symptoms.

After the at-fault driver’s insurance paid its policy limits, we pursued additional compensation through her parents’ substantial underinsured motorist policy. To support her claim, we obtained expert opinions from neurologists, medical reports, and a comprehensive life care plan outlining her ongoing needs. Facing strong evidence and the impending statute of limitations, the underinsured motorist carrier ultimately paid its full policy limits just before the deadline.

Our client was stopped at a traffic light during her lunch break when she was rear-ended by another driver. At the scene, she did not immediately report injuries. However, by the time she got home, she began feeling unwell. The next day, she visited urgent care, which referred her to the ER due to severe pain in her neck and back caused by soft tissue injuries. After weeks of physical therapy, she made a full recovery.

Despite the clear connection to the crash, the at-fault driver’s insurance company attempted to deny liability, arguing that her injuries must have been caused by something else since she didn’t seek immediate treatment. We countered this by providing expert opinions from her treating physicians and independent medical experts. Faced with strong evidence, the insurance company quickly settled for a substantial and fair amount.

After filing a lawsuit, the at-fault driver’s insurance company paid its policy limits. However, her underinsured motorist carrier refused to offer fair compensation, forcing us to take the case to trial in Monongalia County, West Virginia.

During the trial, we successfully cross-examined the defense’s experts and presented strong expert testimony supporting our client’s injuries and damages. As a result, the jury returned a favorable verdict, securing the compensation our client deserved.

Our client, an experienced tow truck owner and operator, responded to a call during a heavy snowstorm to assist a woman whose vehicle was stuck in the driveway of her cabin near a ski resort. While he was kneeling behind her car, hooking it up to his tow truck, she suddenly put the vehicle into reverse, pinning his head between the bumpers. Fortunately, a trailer hitch prevented fatal injuries, but he still suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vision impairment.

Through our investigation, we uncovered that the woman had been drinking heavily throughout the day. Although law enforcement did not pursue DUI charges at the time, she later admitted in her deposition that she may have been impaired. Armed with this evidence, we pursued her insurance company, which quickly settled for a substantial amount in compensation for our client.
