Our client, a woman, was struck from behind at high speed, causing significant injuries that were later diagnosed as frozen shoulder syndrome. The at-fault driver’s liability insurance paid its policy limits, but our client’s own insurance company refused to offer compensation under her underinsured motorist coverage.
We filed a lawsuit in Monongalia County, West Virginia to hold her insurer accountable. After several months of litigation, we successfully negotiated a settlement for the full underinsured motorist policy limits before trial, ensuring our client received the compensation she needed for her ongoing medical care and recovery.
