When an insurance company ignored repeated demands and failed to make any settlement offer following a serious car accident in Lake Worth, Firm Partner Glenn Siegel prepared to take the case to court. His persistence and readiness to litigate resulted in a $600,000 settlement for a client who suffered traumatic and permanent neck injuries.
Although the client’s vehicle sustained only minor damage in the shopping center parking lot crash, he suffered significant injuries that required cervical fusion surgery and will continue to affect him throughout his lifetime.
A former client’s recommendation led the injured man to Glenn, who immediately began building the case and demanding that the insurance company pay the full extent of the damages. The insurer failed to respond or even make any offer, and during the months of silence, Glenn continued to move the case forward in anticipation of proceeding with litigation.
As Glenn prepared to file suit, the case caught the attention of the insurance company’s upper-level management. Aware of our Firm’s reputation and willingness to litigate when necessary, the insurer ultimately agreed to pay $600,000 to settle the case.
Insurance companies often do not respond promptly or offer fair compensation voluntarily. When they refuse to take an injured person’s claim seriously, our attorneys are prepared to hold them accountable.
