In 2018, our client was on his way to Lowe’s to get supplies to fix up his house. He came to a four-way intersection with a traffic light in front of the Lowe’s. He turned left into the Lowe’s and was struck by an oncoming vehicle who had run a red light. His car was totaled. He was diagnosed with a torn rotator cuff related to the wreck. Our client hired a TV lawyer. The TV lawyer told him, after some investigation, “Sorry, we can’t get you more than $25,000 and we think you should take it.”
The client fired the TV lawyer and was referred to the Dixie Law Group, PSC. After we got involved, we investigated the case, spoke with the client’s doctors, and uncovered missing evidence. We filed a lawsuit against the at-fault driver, which the other lawyers were hesitant to do. After deposing the at-fault driver, his insurance company caved and offered their limits of $100,000. Once that happened, our client’s underinsured motorist carrier offered the remaining $100,000 in coverage. We recovered a total of $200,000 for the client. If the client had allowed the TV lawyer to settle his case, he would have left $175,000 on the table.
