Cleveland, Ohio - The Piscitelli Law Firm successfully secured a $300,000 total recovery for a 78-year-old individual who sustained injuries in a 50 mph T-bone collision.
After the driver responsible for the accident offered Ohio's minimum limits of $25,000, the firm sought to access the client's $300,000 underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage.
The injuries sustained by the client included resolved soft-tissue trauma and radial tunnel syndrome - a painful condition resulting from the compression of the radial nerve in the upper forearm, leading to discomfort, weakened grip, and pain during rotation.
The UIM insurance provider initially proposed an offer of $70,000.
The firm subsequently filed a lawsuit for $275,000 (the UIM limit minus the $25,000 offset).
After several months of legal proceedings, the insurance company paid the complete amount of $275,000, resulting in a total recovery of $300,000.
"UIM coverage is designed to ensure individuals are compensated when the negligent party is underinsured," stated Frank Piscitelli, Jr.
"When the insurer undervalued our client's case, we pursued litigation-and successfully recovered the full benefits of the policy."
