$17,000 Settlement on Case Previously Denied By Insurance Company and Dropped by Prior Lawyer

On the way to work one morning, our client suffered injuries in a car accident on I-43 in Milwaukee when another driver cut into her lane, hitting her car.  The crash caused her car to spin out of control into the retaining wall.  The other driver later claimed that our client appeared to be asleep at the time of the accident, and caused the accident.  Based upon this statement, the other driver's insurance company, Country Insurance denied the claim and refused to pay for the damage to her car, her medical expenses, lost wages or any money for pain and suffering. 

The client initially hired another law firm to pursue an injury claim.  This law firm was presumably intimidated by Country Insurance, and informed the client that her claim would not win, and that she should drop the claim.  The law firm then dropped her as a client.

After Hupy & Abraham was retained, Attorney Tim Schelwat filed a lawsuit against Country Insurance and the other driver.  After telling the insurance company that it was our intention to go to trial unless they re-evaluated our client's case, they agreed to pay $17,000 to settle the case.  This sum included all of her property damage, as well as full compensation for her medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.

A case does not have to be huge in order to be important to either an individual client or to our law firm.  We insist upon seeing justice served, and will not abandon a client's case merely because an insurance company wrongfully denies payment on their case.
