Schwartz v. Englebert et al.
Oct 15, 1997OUTCOME: $975,000 total settlement proceeds to client.
Client involved in serious intersection collision involving commuting employee who was an uninsured motorist. Client suffered serious head, neck and back injuries. Damages included past and future pain ... and suffering, medical expense, wage loss and property damage. Client recovered $200,000 of uninsured motorist coverage. He then recovered an additional $750,000 from the uninsured motorists' employer under an exception to Wisconsin's "going and coming rule" as argued in Summary Judgment briefs filed on behalf of client by Atty. Bridge. Client also recovered $25,000 from the defendant, who was required to post said sum pursuant to Wisconsin's Financial Responsibility Law as a condition of settlement. Case was resolved a few weeks before trial, after the defendant's bid to have case dismissed against employer via summary judgment failed.
