Case Results

Attorney Representation in Phoenix Arizona Since 1996

Phoenix Personal Injury Attorney

At Breyer Law offices, we are dedicated to ensuring the best possible representation for every individual client. While some Arizona personal injury law firms may avoid taking on the biggest and most powerful corporate defendants and insurance companies, at Breyer Law we have repeatedly earned recoveries for our clients while facing many of the largest defendants in the United States.

While not every case is against corporate and insurance industry giants, this partial list demonstrates our commitment to help our clients against even the biggest defendants. Please keep in mind that these cases and the results achieved were determined by many factors. Every case is different from the next, each standing on its own merits. No two cases are identical. Every client, every witness, every document, and every fact that relates to fault or damages creates the entire legal case, and each must be thoroughly evaluated and fully investigated to help determine the likelihood of success, and define what "success" means for each individual case.

We take pride in the legal service we provide each of our valued clients, and we are proud of our ability to achieve settlements and win verdicts that provided our clients the compensation that were entitled to under the law. The list of cases below is no guarantee of success in any new case we accept. While the confidential settlements do not in any way indicate or suggest any specific amount of settlement, we have listed some of these settlements to demonstrate cases we have fought to their final conclusion against many multi-billion dollar corporate and insurance company defendants.

At Breyer Law Offices, we fight to recover all of the compensation to which our clients are entitled. Where the insurance company policy is insufficient, we repeatedly achieve a "policy limits" settlement, demanding payment of every single dollar available to our client under the applicable insurance policy.

Please note, out of respect for our clients' confidentiality, we will not disclose their full names when listing the cases they have brought. Please also note that the insurance companies in Arizona have the benefit of not being the named defendant in most cases, but they are the real-party-in-interest. In other words, while somebody else is the named "defendant" it is the insurance companies below that choose whether to deny payment, try to decrease payment, and that control what lawyers to hire and what defense methods to employ to deny our clients the compensation they believe they are entitled to under the law. For that reason, we have listed the insurance company as the defendant, as that is the powerful interest we went against to achieve the results listed.

H.K. v. Crete Carrier Corporation
Confidential Settlement

This retired professor was involved in a trucking/Big-rig accident when the tractor-trailer coming from the opposite direction crossed over a divided highway, turned onto its side, and landed on top of our client's vehicle. At first, in spite of the need to be taken by helicopter to a hospital, it appeared that our client had suffered no significant injury. However, two months later, H.K. went in for brain surgery. The defendants claimed that this surgery was due to the professor's age, and had nothing to do with the incident.

Working with doctors, we were able to demonstrate that our client's brain injury and subsequent surgeries were caused by the initial collision, but there was a delayed effect that prevented the injury from being immediately recognized on the date of the collision. More importantly, the investigation showed that the truck driver was likely fatigued and, in fact, may well have fallen asleep at the wheel. There was evidence that we intended to use to show the jury that the truck driver had disregarded the safety of other motorists and instead had chosen to drive after he should have pulled over.

This client was referred to us by other clients who had hired us who were in a different car in the same crash. When our client wanted to know who to hire, the people he had never met before told him to call us.

The R Family v. Ford Motor Company
Confidential Settlement

G.R., a correctional officer in the Arizona prison system, was the only son of loving, close parents, married to a wonderful woman he met in the military, and was the father of a fantastic young son. He was driving home one night when he was involved in a traffic accident in an intersection. However, what should have been a routine collision with minor injuries turned fatal when the vehicle rolled over and G.R. was thrown from the vehicle. The fact that G.R. was ejected from the car during the rollover shocked family and friends, who insisted G.R. always wore his seatbelt. An investigation raised questions about seatbelt failure and the likelihood that G.R. had worn his seatbelt but it came undone as a result of the collision. Ford Motor Company always denied liability, arguing at every step of the case that G.R. failed to ever put the seatbelt on, and that the seatbelt was in perfect working order. The case was vigorously litigated for nearly two years before a settlement could be reached that ended the case.

M.T. v. Bridgestone/Firestone North American Tire Company; Ford Motor Company
Confidential Settlement

This hard working entrepreneur was on a business trip when the tread of her tire suddenly came off while she was traveling at a high rate of speed. This caused M.R. to go across the double-yellow line into oncoming traffic, wherein she was involved in an violent collision with the oncoming vehicle.

M.T. was referred to our office by her insurance company's own lead attorney, an attorney we had gone against in many cases over the years. M.T. took the lawyer's advice and we were brought into this case. We had evidence and testimony demonstrating that this was a preventable collision which we alleged was caused by these defendants. Both defendants vigorously defended and denied any liability whatsoever. The case was closing in on a trial in Federal Court when it was ultimately settled.

S.D. v. Ford Motor Company, Bridgestone/Firestone Rubber and Tire
Confidential Settlement

S.D. was one of many people around the country who was driving a Ford Explorer with Firestone tires when the tread came off the tires and the Explorer went into a rollover. Ford and Bridgestone both denied any liability throughout the case, and never accepted any responsibility. The case settled for a confidential amount after a significant amount of time in the court system.

Motorcycle Accident
Confidential Settlement

Our client was at a construction site and was offered the use of a motorcycle to drive around the site for inspection. Unbeknownst to our client, the company that offered the use of the motorcycle failed to warn him that the brakes on the motorcycle were not operating. Our client began riding the motorcycle and came upon an unexpected trench in the site. When he went to use his brakes, the front brake failed. This led to our client being thrown over the handlebars and the motorcycle came crashing down on his leg, causing a serious and permanent leg injury.

J.M. and P.M. v. American Family Insurance Company; (Others)
$1,250,000.00

A loving, hard working husband and business owner suffered serious injuries, including to his shoulders and legs, while his wife suffered broken bones in an automobile accident.

In this case, it may have appeared to many lawyers that there was only $250,000 in available insurance coverage. We used our experience and knowledge of personal injury and insurance law to obtain benefits from an additional insurance policy, increasing the available settlement from $250,000 to $1,250,000. Then, we demanded and fought for - and obtained -every dollar of the available insurance for this deserving couple.

Mr. H. v. Farmer's Insurance Company; Government Insurers
$1,015,000.00

This loving husband and government employee was involved in a car accident that resulted in a permanent leg injury. The insurance company refused to offer the policy limits. Instead of reducing our demand, we continued to hold fast, refusing to take even a dollar less than the policy limits. We fought with the insurance company to offer every dollar of the $1,000,000 underinsured policy.

This case stands as an example of hiring a law team that is willing to take the case to the courtroom or final arbiter. Sometimes, just the willingness and ability to bring the fight to the defendant will achieve the fair and appropriate result. Like many of our cases, this client was referred to our office. This client was told of our abilities by another Arizona lawyer that trusted us enough to recommend our office to this client.

The R Family v. Fidelity National Insurance Company
Insurance Policy Limits

A mother and her daughter were visiting the home of a dog owner when that dog unexpectedly attacked the young daughter, biting her on her face and causing scars. After these parents first contacted our office, they had second thoughts and considered trying to handle the case without a lawyer. However, the insurance company refused to offer anything at all, denying any payments were available under the policy. In fact, the insurance company denied that the policy even covered dog bites.

The mother and father then retained us to help their daughter, and we filed a lawsuit and argued that the insurance contract must cover this injury, in spite of the policy language the insurer attempted to rely upon. After months of litigation, the insurance company was finally paid all monies available under the policy. As a result of the decision by these loving parents to fight for their daughter and retain our office - instead of accepting the complete denial of the claim - we were able to secure money to set aside for future medical care if their daughter can use it for the scarring, and we were also able to secure a structured settlement that will ultimately allow this beautiful girl to go to college or help by a new home when she gets older.

Emotional Injury Case
$949,000.00

Complicated lawsuit against multiple parties that worked for the State of Arizona that caused our client damages from which he can never fully recover. Our client was willing to fight the case all the way to a jury trial even though the highest offer ever made by all of the defendants, combined, was $50,000. Our client believed in our ability to overcome a complicated set of laws and unusual set of factors in an injury claim so that he could attain justice. We took the case to trial and the jury awarded our client what we asked for and, ultimately, our client received almost 20-times the offer for a judgment against the State of Arizona for over $949,000. Even after we prevailed at trial, the State of Arizona appealed the judgment all the way through the Court of Appeals to the point of filing appeals paperwork with the Arizona Supreme Court. We won on appeal and our client was paid the money he was rightfully owed.

The T Family v. Westfield Insurance Company
$940,000.00

This father, mother, and adult daughter were riding together in a car enjoying a normal day when all three suffered injuries in a violent car crash. We were hired to help the entire family and we were able to get all three cases settled before ever having to go to trial. The father had an injury to his knee which required surgery and time living in a rehabilitation center. We were able to help the father obtain excellent medical care while assisting the mother during the difficult time she had to cope with her own injuries, as well as those her husband was experiencing. In the end, were we able to obtain fair compensation for all three family members. This case was referred to us by an Arizona Judge Pro-Tem.

R. S. v. Liberty Mutual Insurance Company
$700,000.00

This wonderful woman, a loving mother and retiree, was involved in a car accident with another driver. The other driver who hit our client denied responsibility and argued that it was our client's fault, alleging that our client did not have her headlights on. We argued that she did have her lights on. Our investigation that included an interview with the on-scene police officer determined that there was direct evidence of headlight usage at the time of the collision, demonstrated by the image left on the bulb of the headlight when it broke in the collision.

Showed that the officer had examined the lights before the vehicle was taken away from the scene of the accident. After intense negotiations, the insurance company finally conceded that the investigation demonstrated that their client was at fault. Out client received a fair settlement without having to file a lawsuit. This client was referred to us by a former client who knew of the high level of service we provide.

S.P. v. City of Phoenix
$572,940.00

S.P. was a high school student. One night, he was hanging out with friends in a parking lot filled with other teenagers. A police officer pulled into the parking lot, presumably to empty out the parking lot in front of the grocery store. When the police officer approached our client's vehicle, the officer thought he saw a gun. He fired a shot into the car, hitting S.P. in the head, and permanently damaging S.P.'s eyesight in one eye. Of course, S.P. had no gun or weapon of any kind. Nobody in his car had any weapons with them, the police officer had shot into a dark car on a dark night for a gun he claimed he saw.

D.A. v. State of Arizona; Arizona Department of Corrections; Various Employees of State of Arizona
$821,605.00

D.A. was a correctional officer when he was falsely accused of having sex with a female inmate and with bringing drugs into the prison for this inmate. However, D.A. did not commit any of these acts. He had done nothing wrong. Despite his innocence, D.A. was charge with 10 felonies and faced over 30 years in prison as a result of these bogus charges. To make matters worse, there was overwhelming evidence that the criminal investigator inside the prison had all the evidence necessary to rule out the possibility that D.A. had committed any of these acts: yet the evidence was hidden so that D.A. would be charged.

Before the jury, we asked that they award somewhere between $400,000.00 and $1,000,000.00. The defendants said the jury should award absolutely nothing. The jury came back with a verdict in favor of D.A. above the middle point of what we had requested, awarding D.A. $750,000.00. The judge then awarded an additional $72,605.00 in attorneys' fees for the work done by our office on this case.

Auto Accident
$450,000.00

Motorcyclist injured when City of Phoenix police officer made a U-Turn in front of our client who was heading straight on Pinnacle Peak Road. Client was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Serious foot and shoulder injuries. Defendant would not admit full liability for the incident. We took the depositions of the defendant police officer and were able to get him to make some direct concessions on liability. We also hired a top expert witness to address their attempts to minimize the damages they owed to our client.

Auto Accident
$375,000.00

Client involved in car accident in Mesa, Arizona near Power Road. The adverse driver made a left hand turn in front of our client's vehicle. Client required surgery to her foot. Case settled for full value without having to even file a lawsuit.

R.C. v. Allstate Insurance Company, Sentinel Insurance Company
$330,000.00

R.C. was the passenger in a car driven by his wife when they were involved in a severe collision at an intersection. R.C.'s loving wife stayed by his side as R.C. made a dramatic and rapid, complete recovery from what at first looked like life-threatening injuries. R.C.'s wife felt the other driver was at fault, and the second driver blamed R.C.'s wife. R.C.'s wife turned to us for support and answers during those initial days, where R.C. was touch-and-go in the intensive care unit. After R.C. got out of ICU, we were able to make sure all of his medical bills were paid, his wage loss was fully reimbursed, and he received fair compensation for the horrendous injuries he had initially suffered. His quick recovery remains a very bright spot to this case, and he returned home to his loving wife and returned to his job soon thereafter.

Car Accident
$300,000.00

A car accident that occurred in Mesa, Arizona. Our client had slowed down because of sirens and was rearended. A serious leg injury - as well as other injures - were suffered by our client. The insurance company for the other driver blamed our seriously injured client, who spent many weeks in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities, for the injuries she suffered claiming that our client should not have stopped suddenly. We refused to accept anything less than policy limits from three different insurance companies. One at a time, each insurance company saw that we were going to keep fighting until every dollar of the policy limits was paid for our client. We even uncovered an extra insurance policy our client did not even know existed. That insurance company denied any payment whatsoever at the outset, claiming our client had been fully reimbursed at $200,000. Ultimately, however, we continued to push the case forward until every insurance carrier was forced to pay the policy limits our serious injured client was entitled to receive under the law.

Child Injury Shooting Incident
$227,000.00

A young boy was at a friend's house when he was shot by a flare gun and received an eye injury. The shooting took place in Phoenix Arizona. Claims were made against both the family of the young shooter for allowing their son to have possession of the flare gun and for the boy shooting an innocent boy in his eye. Claims were also brought successfully against the family that allowed the weapon in their home without supervision. All defendants initially denied liability entirely or tried to blame each other or blame our client for the incident. We refused to accept anything less than full value of the case and proceeded with full litigation of the issues. Finally, the defendants both agreed to a split of fault and paid our client for the serious and permanent eye injury that was suffered.

M.S. v. Kemper Insurance Company
$225,000.00

M.S. was a retiree who had recently moved into a newly built home, the home her and her loving husband intended to stay in forever. One day, when her husband was getting some things from Home Depot, M.S. Opened up the cabinet above the washing machine, and the entire cabinet came out of the wall, landing upon this elderly woman. She stayed trapped under that cabinet until her husband finally came home. She suffered a knee injury from the incident.

We took this case to the jury because the defendants were only offering $15,000 to settle the case. We told the jury the case was worth $215,000, while the defendants thought the jury should award about $5,000. The jury gave our deserving client more than we asked for.

N.D. v. Progressive Insurance Company; USAA Insurance Company
$216,572.28

N.D. came to us after suffering serious injury following an intersection traffic collision when she was driving straight and the defendant turned left right in front of her. She was facing two significant hurdles to collecting fair compensation for the injuries the other driver had caused; first, the other driver claimed he had a left-turn green arrow and accused N.D. or thus running a red light, second, the police reported indicated N.D. suffered moderate injuries, when in fact they turned out to be worse. With our help, we were able to obtain a fair result for this deserving client.

Car Accident
$215,000.00

Car accident in Surprise, Arizona. Our client was with her family when her car was hit by another vehicle. There was a complicated liability dispute because one of the drivers that caused the accident fled the scene. As a result, we not only had to try to win the fight for the first insurance company of the vehicle that actually collided with our client's vehicle to pay limits, we also had to make a claim against both the uninsured and underinsured portions of our clients insurance at the same time. This led to a protracted fight over which insurance company and which coverage should apply, and for how much. Extensive negotiations took place where we refused to accept anything less than full value of our clients claim for every single dollar of the insurance policy that applied. With all three claims moving forward at the same time, we were still able to collect the full policy limits on each and every claim being made.

Premises Liability
$140,000.00

Client stepped off of unusually dangerous step on walkway at mall. Client sustained a hip fracture. Defendant did not deny the injury, but denied any wrongdoing and denied liability for causing the injury. We used our experience, resources, and hard work to locate a total of four different people who had suffered injury at this same location due to the same defect. We even located and retained an expert witness who had warned the defendant of this dangerous condition years earlier, but the condition was never fixed.

J.P. v. Safeco Insurance Company, American Family Insurance Company
$350,767.20

J.P. was a young woman who had suffered a previous miscarriage. She was thrilled to be pregnant again, when she became a victim of road rage. She was driving down the road when people in the car near her lost control and started travelling at a high rate of speed. J.P. was an innocent victim, stuck at the wrong place at the wrong time, when she was struck head-on by the driver of a vehicle presumably angry at a different car and driver, altogether. J.P. was trapped in her car and could not get out, terrified and worried she would lose her baby. She was able to make it out, but suffered serious physical as well as some emotional affects of such a scary, unnecessary event. We were able to accept her case and bring a claim against all appropriate insurance companies, resulting in a fair settlement on her behalf.

F.S. v. Scottsdale Insurance Company
$330,000.00

F.S. was rear-ended at a high rate of speed, and then thrust into the vehicle in front of him. The combination of the violent impact from behind and the immediate crash into the stopped car in front of him turned this rear end accident into a life-changing event for F.S. A hard working husband and father, F.S. had always been the primary breadwinner in his home. He had to undergo neck surgery as a result of this collision, and he knew that his neck would never return to being completely the same as it was prior to the collision. When our settlement demands were not met, we filed suit. Ultimately, we were able to obtain compensation that would help F.S. and his family in the years to come.

Mr. and Mrs. B v. Farmer's Insurance; Nationwide Mutual Insurance
$293,500.00

Mr. and Mrs. B, and retired elderly couple that had been married for nearly 50 years, both suffering significant injury when a driver coming in the other direction turned left in front of them. Not knowing where to turn, they met with us and decided to entrust this important case to our office. We were able to put together all of the medical and liability related documentation and obtain a fair result for this nice couple.

C.M and her unborn daughter, N.R. v. State Farm Insurance Co.
$200,000.00

C.M. was injured in what could have otherwise been a moderate injury situation. Unfortunately, the crash happened when C.M. was about 7 months pregnant. The result was weeks in the hospital for C.M. trying to keep the trauma of the incident from causing a premature birth. Then, due to what ultimately did become a premature birth as a result of the collision, an additional settlement was needed for the harm caused to the baby girl that was born prematurely and had to stay in neo-natal intensive care. Were it not for the collision, this would not have occurred.

Fortunately, both mother and daughter left the hospital in 100% health and fitness, after what had been a scary time with significant medical bills. We were able to obtain a fair result for these clients. C.M was referred to us by the father of her child, a former client who has been giving our name out to friends and coworkers for almost 10 years.

J.G. v. USAA Insurance Company; Farmer's Insurance Company
$100,000

J.G. was a crossing guard helping out to make sure children were able to get across the street safely. Despite the fact that a motorist sped through the school zone and struck J.G., the at-fault insurance company refused to make a reasonable offer. We took the case to litigation, filed a lawsuit and fought for our client. This crossing guard who suffered injury to both knees ultimately prevailed, as she deserved, with our help and persistence.

M.D. v. Geico Insurance Company
$100,000.00

M.D. was an elderly woman who was a backseat passenger in a car driven by a family member. Out of nowhere, another vehicle blew through a red light at the intersection, plowing into the side of their vehicle. As a result, M.D. suffered injuries. Like her two family members, she turned to our office to ensure that she could receive fair and reasonable compensation for her injuries.

K.A. v. City of Phoenix; State Farm Insurance Company
$125,000.00

This single, hard-working young woman was involved in a traffic accident when the driver of another vehicle ran through a stop sign and crashed into the side of K.A.'s car. The driver blamed the City for allowing a tree to obscure the stop sign. Not surprisingly, the City blamed the driver, which left K.A. with significant injury and two possible defendants each refusing to accept responsibility while they blamed the other. After over a year in the court system, we were able to achieve a worthwhile settlement for this deserving client.

Mom and Daughter T v. American Family Insurance
$165,044.77

This mother and daughter were passengers in a vehicle when the driver of their vehicle turned left in front of oncoming traffic. This exposed Mom T and her young daughter to a direct T-bone collision with the oncoming vehicle. They both suffered injuries as a result. We put American Family Insurance Company on notice of our involvement and we were willing to take the case as far as it needed to go to ensure justice was accomplished. Ultimately, we were able to ensure our clients received reasonable compensation for their injuries.

Car Accident
$135,000.00

Our client was involved in a bicycle accident when he was hit by a car. He was a bicyclist travelling on Gilbert Road in Mesa, Arizona when a car tried to pull into a private drive and did not see our client as we was travelling down the road. He sustained abrasions as well as suffering a back injury that led to significant pain.

Car Accident
$125,000.00

Client was a driver in vehicle when another vehicle attempted to take a left hand turn causing a significant collision. The client sustained a dislocated shoulder. When a fair settlement was not offered, we filed a lawsuit and showed a willingness to take the case to trial. The case was settled for full policy limits shortly thereafter. Our client owed many medical providers money for his treatment. In addition to the favorable settlement, we worked with our client's lienholders and were able to get them to reduce their liens by about 75%, greatly increasing the amount of money our client received for his injuries.

Car Accident
$100,000.00

Client was travelling with her husband when they were rearended by another vehicle. The Arizona Department of Public Safety came to the scene of the accident. At the scene of the accident, while still in shock and with adrenaline going, our client only stated that she had suffered soft tissue neck injuries. At first, she simply sought basic therapy. However, she ultimately had surgery that was caused by the accident. However, due to the delay in severe complaints the insurance company attempted to argue that the neck injury was a pre-existing condition and was unwilling to admit that the care and treatment were fully caused by the rear end car accident. After negotiation, the insurance company offered full policy limits without a lawsuit having to be filed.

R.G. v. State Farm Mutual Insurance Company
$100,000.00

R.G. was the passenger in a car driven by her husband when she was hit by a vehicle changing lanes into the rear of their car, causing them to go into a spin. The insurance company refused to admit the significance of the injury that was caused, so we accepted this case and were able to prevail with a settlement that compensated her for the injuries suffered as a result of the defendant's fault.

J.D. v. Liberty Auto Insurance, USAA Insurance Company
$100,000.00

J.D. was rear-ended at a high rate of speed on the freeway. J.D. was thrown from his vehicle and suffered multiple injuries. Fortunately, he made a recovery in near-record time, and was back on the job not long after the incident. J.D. is a success story, not just because we were able to obtain a fair settlement in a short period of time, but also because of how quickly he healed and got back on his feet, back to work, and back to living his life.

L.R. v. American Family Mutual Insurance Company
$125,000.00

L.R. was a teenager when she got into the car with another teenage driver. The driver of the vehicle she was in crossed over the yellow line and struck the car coming at them in the opposite direction. The police officer noted the severity of the collision in the initial report, and L.R.'s father wanted to make sure his daughter was taken care of. He contacted our office and we sat down with L.R. and her father. In the end, we were able to achieve a fair settlement for this deserving teenager, who was fortunately able to make an excellent recovery from her injuries.

N.B. v. State Farm Insurance Company
$125,000.00

N.B. was leaving a pet store when a car struck him. The driver of the other vehicle admitted failing to see him as he crossed through the parking lot, and ran right into him. N.B. was immediately hospitalized, and he called upon our office to help him through the process. We immediately put the insurance company on notice that we would be helping N.B., and that they were not allowed to contact our client at any time. We handled everything for N.B., ultimately including a reasonable settlement as compensation for the injuries caused by the at-fault driver.

M.H. v. State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company
$100,000.00

M.H. tried to handle his injury case on his own, and got nowhere for almost a full year. The insurance company would not pay for the medical bills and related losses M.H. incurred due to his shoulder injury. To make matters worse, they refused to accept any fault for the actions their driver had caused. After a year of getting nowhere, M.H. decided he would trust his case with us. We were able to get the entire matter resolved in just a few months.

J.F. v. Houston General Insurance Company
$100,000.00

J.F. was faced with a difficult situation, where he had suffered a significant injury but the police report indicated he was the one at fault for the incident. With our help and investigation, were able to get the at-fault driver's insurance company to accept responsibility.

M.G. v. State Farm Insurance Company
$100,000.00

M.G. was a high school student riding with other teenagers when the teenage driver she was with caused an accident. She suffered an injury to her arm. Her parents thought it would be best to handle the case without an attorney, but found that they were not able to obtain a fair result without some help. M.G.'s parents contacted our office and made the decision that it would be in their daughter's best interest to put this case in our hands. Fortunately, M.G. completely healed, and with our help justice was done and M.G. has money put away for college and more.

S.G. v. State Farm Insurance; Progressive Insurance Company
$120,000.00

Our client was driving on the freeway when another vehicle cut her off. As a result of the other driver's negligence, our client suffered a fractured ankle. We were hired by our client to help her through a process that required claims against two different insurance companies. We immediately notified both insurance companies that we had been retained and did not allow them to have any contact with our client while she recuperated from her injuries. We instructed by insurance companies that all questions and issues would have to be directed to our office. After S.G. had completed the treatment she needed, we were able to achieve fair compensation for her.

K.W. v. Country Companies Insurance Company
$150,000.00

K.W. and her family had just moved to Arizona when a teenage driver made the type of mistake more often made by inexperienced drivers: the teenager turned left in front of the vehicle in which K.W. was a passenger. However, the insurance company refused to offer the policy limits, attempting to argue that it was not the fault of their own driver. As K.W. had a serious and permanent knee injury, we demanded policy limits or told the insurance company we would pursue the case all to trial. Apparently thinking we were just bluffing, the insurance company refused to offer the policy limits until after we had filed the lawsuit. At that point, it was too late, and we followed through on our statement that we would take the case all the way to trial. The underlying policy limits had only been $25,000, but the insurance company ended up paying the entire $150,000 jury verdict. It was an example of the advantage of hiring a firm where the lawyers believe in their ability to argue the case before a jury, and are willing to invest the time and energy in preparing to take a case to trial.

J.G. v. Home Depot
$110,000.00

J.G. was a barber who was spending time at home depot when an associate who worked at the store dropped a heavy item on top of him. J.G. suffered a shoulder injury which caused him to miss time from work and incur lost wages due to the need to use his shoulder when he was cutting hair.

N.E. v. State Farm
Insurance Policy Limits

This beloved daughter was crossing the road at night and was hit and killed. When the family turned to us for help, they had not been provided with any information from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office. Our investigation for this family included speaking with a Spanish speaking witness who, though she admitted the daughter was killed when she crossed outside of the crosswalk, also placed some blame on the driver that struck the daughter for not even paying attention to the roadway. This was information that had apparently never been obtained by the investigating police department. In spite of the initial investigation from the police department we were able to earn a settlement of every dollar available under the at-fault driver's insurance company policy.

W.W. v. Geico Insurance Company; Safeway Insurance Company

S.D. v. AIG Insurance Company
Insurance Policy Limits

S.D. was a single woman riding as a passenger on a motorcycle when the crash occurred. Her injuries required her to seek hospital care. After S.D. hired us, we demanded payment of the entire policy limit, yet the insurance company tried to deny this client fair compensation under the law. Instead of agreeing to accept something less than a fair settlement, we pursued the case well into litigation. As we prepared to take the case to trial, and after months of litigation, the insurance company finally backed down and offered every dollar available under the applicable insurance policy. Our client accepted this offer, having received the benefit of a willingness to pursue a fair result when an adverse insurance company is being unreasonable.

After we informed the defendant's insurance company that we would be representing W.P. and that we would only accept a policy limits settlement, the entire limits of the policy was offered, allowing this case to be settled without WP having to take this case to trial.

D.F. v. Nationwide Insurance Company; Allied Insurance Company
Insurance Policy Limits

D.F. was involved in a rollover accident and claimed another vehicle had cut her off. Unfortunately this client was not wearing her seatbelt at the time of the incident. To make matters appear worse at the outset, the police report indicated that the witnesses had aligned against our client. However, our client knew that she did not bear the fault for this incident, and she retained us to investigate if anything could be done to obtain a reasonable outcome. Our investigation included a statement taken from another witness to the incident, which supported our client's observations. After we tracked down the defendant in Idaho, we provided this information we had uncovered to the insurance company and demanded policy limits, which were then paid in full.

N.B. v. Permanent General Insurance Company
Insurance Policy Limits

N.B. was injured in an automobile collision. She knew the other driver was at fault, and she had the other driver's insurance information. She wanted to handle the case without a lawyer, but in spite of her best efforts, she could not even get the at-fault driver's insurance company to make an offer to pay for the hospital bills and the money she owed as a result of her injuries. The medical bills were piling up, and she did not know where to turn. Even her own health insurance company refused to pay, claiming that since she was involved in a car accident, the other driver's insurance should pay.

After she hired us, we were able to make her own health insurance company take care of the bills so she should not have to worry. We then demanded every dollar of the available insurance company policy limits or we would proceed towards trial with the case. Faced with this prospect, the insurance company of the at-fault driver who had refused to make any offer before we were hired paid every dollar under the policy to our deserving client.

The insurance company did not want to give our client the full limit allowed to him under the policy, as they intended to divide up the available money amongst all the people who claimed injury. With our help, R.L. was able to get the full policy limits that he was entitled to under the policy, helping him with the bills and other costs he suffered as a result of this injury.

D.A. v. Infinity Insurance Company
Insurance Policy Limits

D.A. was traveling on a green light. The Defendant struck her and she sustained injuries.

We were able to demonstrate that her prior injury was unrelated, and we were able to obtain every dollar available under the policy for D.A.
