Auto Accident
$359k
The insurer said she deserved nothing, then made a last-minute offer. We took it to a jury, and the jury awarded more than triple that.
The Full Story
Nearly Four Times the Insurer’s Offer for a Rideshare Passenger Hurt in a Rear-End Crash
Attorney Carolina Eder-Weaver, with the assistance of Spencer Browne, secured a $115,000 settlement for a client injured as a passenger in a rideshare vehicle. The driver failed to control their speed and hit a stopped vehicle ahead as traffic slowed. Our client suffered neck and shoulder injuries.
WHY THE OFFER FELL SHORT
Liability was clear from the start, and the injuries were documented. Even so, the insurer never offered more than $30,000, even walking away from mediation rather than move off that number. For someone with neck and shoulder injuries and undisputed liability, that offer was not a serious attempt to resolve the case. It was designed to make the claim go away cheaply.
HOW THE CASE WAS WON
When negotiations stalled, the team prepared for trial. Building on the case file assembled by pre-litigation paralegal Mayira Duarte, Attorney Eder-Weaver filed suit with the assistance of litigation paralegals Joezer Blandon and Andryk Alvarez. A second mediation was scheduled only days before trial. Spencer Browne participated, and the defense finally moved, resolving the case for $115,000, nearly four times its previous best offer.
