Our client’s husband tragically lost his life when another driver attempted to pass his vehicle despite oncoming traffic, causing a catastrophic crash that resulted in multiple fatalities. Despite clear liability, the insurance company delayed paying its policy limits for several months.
We filed a lawsuit to secure the compensation our client deserved. Once the insurance company finally paid its limits, we pursued additional claims for unfair trade practices and bad faith due to the unnecessary delay. Through mediation, we successfully negotiated a large recovery for our client’s widow, who represented his estate, ensuring financial security for her future.
