This is one of the cases I'm most proud of from 2023.

A guy stole someone's car and then rammed it head-on into my client's car. My client and his family survived but the other driver did not. My client's main physical injury was just a broken leg! Look at that crash photo!

Because the other driver stole the car, the owner's car insurance denied coverage. The dead guy didn't have car insurance either, so there were zero dollars in liability coverage. My client had a $50,000 uninsured motorists policy to cover him and his family.

After his surgery and everything, my guy alone had about $65,000 in medical bills. The family had over $100,000 in medical bills.

So how did I write him a check for about $85,000 late last year? (And how am I going to write a similar check to his wife this month?)

We did three critical things:
1. We found a bunch of insurance that probably covered this wreck issued in two different states.
2. We convinced the insurance companies that their policies did cover the wreck.
3. We convinced the insurance companies that the policies stacked, meaning that each insurer had to pay all their money.

Taking a case like this with $250,000 of insurance money on the table and settling it for $250,000 is easy.

Taking a case like this with $50,000 of insurance money on the table and settling it for $250,000 is hard.

Here's to doing more hard things in 2024!

"I think being able to look someone in the eye and tell them, “I will be able to help you,” is a very powerful feeling. And being able to use my special skills as a lawyer, my training as a lawyer, to make a real difference in someone’s life is powerful. And once I started doing that, I realized, that’s pretty much what I want to do."
