Hupy Wins $2.1 Million Settlement For Child
Attorney Michael F. Hupy recently won $2.1 million for a child hit by a school bus. This is one of the largest settlements ever received in a case of this type.
On June 6, 1992, a six and a half-year-old Chiquita McCurry was coming home from school. She got off her school bus, went around to the back and crossed the street behind the bus. At that moment, another school bus was passing by in the opposite direction. The second bus hit Chiquita and dragged her body along the pavement. She suffered serious injuries and was hospitalized for several weeks. The initial police investigation concluded that the bus driver who had struck Chiquita was not at fault. The bus company’s insurance carrier also claimed that driver was not responsible. Police reports can be in error and insurance companies frequently disclaim any responsibility for the injuries caused by their clients.
This is where the training and experience of the attorneys at Michael F. Hupy & Associates, S.C. come in. When Mrs. McCurry called Michael Hupy, he immediately began his own inquiry into the accident. He sent one of our investigators to take pictures and get witness statements. Mr. Hupy put together all of the documents on the case, including the accident scene photographs, the medical reports and the doctor and hospital bills. The insurance company continued to disclaim responsibility.
At this point, the insurance company decided to send in the big guns from their Florida office. A claims supervisor and a structured settlement specialist flew to Milwaukee to participate in negotiations. Mr. Hupy hired his own structured settlement specialist and the fight on Chiquita McCurry’s behalf continued. Through a process of tough, hard bargaining, the insurance company officials, without admitting fault, settled the claim for Chiquita’s injuries. We were able to secure a $2.1 million settlement for the little girl and to have its guaranteed portions stretched out over 40 years. The settlement will provide tuition and income for Chiquita during her college years. Mrs. McCurry contacted another law firm before contacting Attorney Hupy. That firm seemed less than interested in the case.
