$130,910 - Uninsured Motorist Protection Benefits
Client Wins In Arbitration
Our client was operating a motor vehicle when she was struck from behind by another motor vehicle. The insurer for the operator of the vehicle which struck our client's vehicle denied coverage on the basis that the impact with our client was caused by another vehicle (3rd vehicle), which struck their insured operator and then fled from the scene. Attorney Raipher D. Pellegrino filed a claim for uninsured motorist protection benefits against our client's insurance company.
Our client suffered soft tissue injuries to her neck and back and incurred medical bills of approximately $10,000 mostly for chiropractic work and physical therapy. The insurance company made nominal offers and a final offer of $13,000 which we rejected. After rejecting the insurance company's final offer we demanded arbitration as required under the insurance policy. The arbitration awarded our client over $130,000
Result: our client incurred medical bills totaling approximately $10,000. The insurance company would not meet our settlement and required arbitration. The arbitration awarded over $130,000 to our client. The insurance company never offered more than $13,000 to settle the case.
