Our client was involved in a catastrophic head-on collision when another driver crossed the centerline. We uncovered multiple insurance sources ultimately recovering more than $162,000 to compensate our client.
While traveling westbound on Highway 126 near milepost 5.5 in Crook County, Oregon, the at-fault driver lost control on a sweeping left-hand curve, crossed the centerline, and collided head-on with our client’s vehicle—leaving her no chance to avoid the crash. Both vehicles were catastrophically damaged, and all occupants required extrication and emergency medical treatment.
Our client incurred $30,000 in medical bills and we recovered over $162,000 for her—$150,000 plus an additional $12,642.20 in waived personal injury protection medical benefits. Though the at-fault driver’s policy with State Farm covered only $25,000, we identified a second $25,000 policy under the vehicle owner. Because our client’s damages exceeded $50,000, we also secured the full $100,000 underinsured motorist limit from her Progressive policy.
It’s imperative to work with a skilled personal injury attorney who will locate all applicable insurance policies to maximize your recovery and ensure you’re fully compensated.
