Cleveland, Ohio - The Piscitelli Law Firm successfully secured a $300,000 total recovery for a 78-year-old individual who sustained injuries in a 50 mph T-bone collision.
After the driver responsible for the accident paid Ohio's minimum liability limits of $25,000, the firm sought the client's $300,000 underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage.
The injuries suffered by the client included resolved soft-tissue damage and radial tunnel syndrome, which is a painful condition caused by compression of the radial nerve in the upper forearm, leading to symptoms such as aching, grip weakness, and pain during rotation.
The UIM insurer initially proposed an offer of $70,000.
In response, the firm initiated a lawsuit for $275,000 (the UIM limit minus the $25,000 setoff).
After several months of litigation, the insurance company disbursed the full $275,000, culminating in a total recovery of $300,000.
"UIM coverage is designed to ensure individuals are compensated when the at-fault driver is underinsured," remarked Frank Piscitelli, Jr.
"When the insurance company undervalued our client's case, we took legal action-and successfully recovered the complete policy benefits."
Case Summary:
- Accident: T-bone at approximately 50 mph
