$1,237,000 Policy limits settlement for DUI car crash.
A mother and son were severely injured in the early morning hours when a drunk driver crashed into them. The mother sustained broken bones in the collision. Attorney Brad Valentine was able to successfully argue for enhanced damages – called punitive damages – to obtain a total recovery of $1,237,595.45. The at-fault driver’s liability policy was only $25,000, and through an extensive investigation, attorney Valentine was able to locate and obtain a full recovery from four other insurance policies. The total settlement included full payments from five policies, including both bodily injury and property damage policy limits.
$1,050,000 Settlement for car crash involving local Toccoa family.
A Stephens County family was involved in a serious car crash, causing injuries to the mother, father, and son. The mother had broken bones, but luckily, the father and son’s injuries were less severe. At first glance, the at-fault driver was only covered by the state-minimum policy limits of $25,000. Attorney Brad Valentine, however, did not stop there. He discovered that the at-fault driver was legally “on the job” at the time of the wreck, triggering a large commercial policy to cover the car crash. The case settled at mediation, and the other facts are confidential.
