Insurance industry knowledge and persistence pays off!

I contacted Megan when a teenager ran into my car, sending me to the emergency room and totaling the vehicle. The next day I received a call from the driver's insurance company. It was clearly their fault, so would I accept $7,500 for the "accident"? It is a good thing I didn't, as the charge for ...the emergency room visit would arrive a few days later for $7,000. My neck and back hurt and I was unable to sit for more than 45 minutes at a time. I missed several days of work and had to visit a chiropractor for 6 months, plus do follow-ups with a pain specialist. Megan explained the games insurance companies play, and that the process to collect would take several months. The next offer was for $15,000. Double, but still not enough to cover medical. She persisted, and they delayed for a few more months. Next, she told them we would file a lawsuit. They quickly agreed to a $30K settlement. I'm so glad I didn't take their original offer. Too bad for that insurance company - I like their commercials, but they don't play fair. Glad I had Megan to help hold them accountable.

A successful case win

Megan David believed in my case from day one when four other Attorneys said it was impossible to take it on. Megan’s follow up and concern was always compassionate and responsible by keeping in the loop what was to come. She told me the truth regarding my odds of receiving compensation but was with... me until the end. Although many factors were not in my favor she remained positive. She help many times over by allowing me to receive medical treatment which was filed as a “Letter of Protection” and that burden was lifted from me. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding personal injury cases and fought for me every step of the way. We did succeed and the case is now closed. My medical debt was paid off and I’m now able to have future medical surgeries where I can focus on healing and not finances. I’ve had lawyers since I was a small girl regarding personal injury some that are quite influential. Megan is a great attorney and will work tirelessly for you with heartfelt respect and concern for your legal rights.

Megan was awesome!

Megan was very thorough and communicative! Kept me informed every step of the way and explains everything that I didn’t understand. She truly worked on my hit and run case and made me feel important. She is awesome and I will definitely be consulting her in the future!

Would absolutely not recommend

Pros- Nice woman Con- I expressed, and asked, in our first meeting, “I am concerned that with the Attorney fee, that may cut into receiving reimbursement for all the medical expenses paid out of pocket.”. I was advised that by Megan that she is skilled in Negociation of the dollars down in what i...s owed, and working with insurance company. My out of pocket for medical bills was $19,000. After Megan’s legal fees (we meditated based on her advice) I received $4,000. Which means that in addition to several $1,000 of medical bills that I was unable to pay ( which now have ruined my credit) there was $15,000 that I paid in medical expenses that instead being refunded to me, Megan’s % ( $5,850) meant this was a lose, lose situation. I should never have used Megan. Stress and health problems continue to increase how much the accident ( that was clearly fault of other driver) cost financially (2018 dental surgery cost me $36k out of pocket which required home refinance to pull equity and at higher interest) mental ( both my daughter and I suffered brain damage that still persists today) and emotional ( brain damage brings personalitiy changes, which significantly changed my daughter, our relationship and how we function in the world) Using Megan was a lose-lose-lose
