When the insurance company wouldn't offer a fair number, we took the case to a jury and let them decide.
Not every truck accident case settles before trial. When an insurance company undervalues a claim and refuses to negotiate in good faith, going to trial is sometimes the only path to a fair result.
Our attorneys prepared this case for trial from the start, presenting the evidence of the crash and our client's injuries to a jury rather than accepting an inadequate settlement offer.
The jury returned a verdict of $250,000 for our client.
Insurance companies negotiate differently with a firm that is genuinely prepared to try a case in front of a jury versus one that is looking to settle quickly.
When an insurer's pre-trial position doesn't reflect the real value of a case, a jury verdict gives clients the outcome the insurance company should have offered in the first place.
