I recently had the honor and privilege of representing a great young Orlando man, who was serious injured when he was struck from behind his car, by another vehicle. My client had gone to his trunk to retrieve a gas can. He was fully pulled over on the side of the road. An inattentive driver came along, and swerved off the road, striking my client. Both my client’s legs were shattered and he required several surgeries and months of hospitalization and physical therapy. From the inception of the case, my client made a claim to his parent’s Underinsured Motorist Carrier, Geico, because the responsible party only had very limited insurance coverage. Despite having half a million dollars in medical bills, Geico refused to tender their policy limits, which were less than half of the outstanding medicals. Instead, Geico set numerous EUO’s in an attempt to void coverage. I filed a lawsuit to protect my client’s from Geico’s ongoing harassment. Within a week of doing the same, Geico finally tendered the policy limits. Unfortunately, stories like this are the norm and not the exception. If you have been in an accident, and think the insurance company is simply going to play nice and take care of you, remember this story. We are here to help.
