Settlement in UIM Car Accident Case in Philadelphia
N/AOUTCOME: Settlement of $250,000.00
A quarter of a million dollar settlement was obtained on behalf of a young man involved in a motor vehicle accident in which a phantom vehicle caused our client to lose control of his truck and hit a c ... oncrete barrier on the highway. The client was in the course and scope of his occupation when the accident occurred. The young man sustained strains and sprains in his cervical spine and suffered from cervical radiculopathy. A Workers’ Compensation case was filed on the client’s behalf and ultimately resolved. We were then able to pursue an uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) claim on the client’s behalf against his employer’s automobile insurance carrier. After numerous submissions to the auto carrier to substantiate the client’s injuries and contentious negotiations, we were able to secure a settlement of the uninsured/underinsured motorist claim totaling $250,000.00. At the conclusion of the Workers’ Compensation case and the uninsured/underinsured motorist claim, we obtained settlements on the client’s behalf that totaled $300,000.00.
