Passenger Injury Accident

Our client was injured when the medical van she was traveling in rear-ended another vehicle. She was wearing her seatbelt at the time of the accident. But the driver, who was transporting our client back to her rehab facility after a hospital visit, was speeding and not paying attention to the road.

As a result of the collision, our client sustained serious injuries, including 10 broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, two broken vertebrae, a concussion, and a fractured ankle. She subsequently developed an infection in the ankle incision, which crept up to the knee, resulting in the amputation of her leg. The victim spent several weeks at Mercy Gilbert Hospital recovering from the amputation.

At this time, HWLT placed an immediate request to have the files completed in a timely manner. During mediation, the defendant accused HWLT of not participating in good faith and filed a motion to sanction us, stating that we knew they couldn't settle without the presence of all the parties involved.

The defense argued that our client’s amputation was caused by her knee replacement and not the accident. HWLT provided two experts who stated that the accident was responsible for our client’s amputation.

After these pointless delays were exhausted, the other parties finally filed, and we held a second mediation. We had been in communication with the other plaintiff’s counsel in an effort to work together, but they decided to go off on their own.

After a long and difficult fight, we were able to settle the case for $2 million. Medicare had a lien on our client for almost $105k, but we were able to reduce it to just over $68k.

Our client walked away with no medical bills or balances and a total of $1,227,519.26 in her pocket.

H.M. v. Element Homes and Mateo Homes

Catastrophic Construction Accident Injury Case: Our client was a plumber who was told by his supervisor to visit a new home build for plumbing work that was needed on the second floor. When our client went to the home and proceeded up the stairs, the stairs collapsed and he landed on his back requiring surgery. While he was in the hospital, his wife knew he would need the best representation. She called our office and Mark met with her and explained all of the ins and outs of a construction injury claim in Arizona. We brought a claim against the general contractor and the subcontractor who was working on the stairs. They both pointed the fingers at each other and blamed our client for going up the stairs when there were no railings. The Defendants pointed to OSHA regulations which say if railings are not on stairs, a worker should not go up the stairs. Our client was ecstatic about the verdict and we were happy that justice was served.

Jury Finds General Contractor Responsible for Injury to Plumber

An Arizona jury just awarded a $1.9 million dollar verdict on behalf of a seriously injured plumber, represented by The Husband & Wife Law Team, and found that the general contractor could not avoid responsibility for the unsafe work conditions on the job site during new home construction in 2007.

While working at a new home construction site, the plumber ascended a set of stairs which unexpectedly collapsed beneath him. The stairs had been constructed by a subcontractor who was on site. When the plumber ascended the stairs, the stairs were in the process of being moved by the other subcontractor who failed to warn the plumber that the stairs were in an unsafe condition, failed to put up caution tape, and failed to tell the general contractor that they would be working on the stairs that day. As a result, the general contractor blamed the plumber for going up the stairs when there were workers nearby and blamed the other subcontractor for failing to warn the plumber and for failing to tell the general contractor about the dangerous condition on the property.

The general contractor for the home where the injury occurred refused to accept any responsibility at trial. The subcontractor did accept responsibility. The plumber acknowledged the subcontractor had responsibility but also argued that the general was responsible as well. The injured worker took the position that the general contractor should accept responsibility for a safety failure that occurred on their jobsite, particularly one that could have been avoided with proper communication if the right policies and procedures had been set in place by the general contractor.

As a result of the stair collapse, the injured worker suffered a serious back injury that included a burst fracture requiring a two-level spinal fusion surgery as well as other injuries.

After deliberations over a period of two days, the jury awarded the client a $1.9 million dollar verdict and assigned 39% of the responsibility to the general contractor, 58% responsibility to the subcontractor and only 3% to the injured worker.

The lawyers for the injured plumber, Alexis and Mark Breyer of "The Husband & Wife Law Team" were very happy with the result. Mark Breyer addressed the significant verdict, saying "An innocent man had his life altered by a serious but wholly preventable injury. When a jury follows the law and holds companies responsible for their failures to protect workers on the job site, it is a great day not only for our client, but for all construction workers in Arizona."

M.L. v. Farmers Insurance

Motorcycle Accident Case: Our client, a motorcyclist, was hit by a driver who ran a red light while undergoing a diabetic coma. Our client was not wearing a helmet and suffered a shattered pelvis and fractured femur, among other serious injuries. He spent several days in the ICU and approximately a month in the hospital and rehab. He had to be in a wheelchair for some time, and it took him many months after surgery to recover. He reached out to us to fight on his behalf. After negotiating hard, we were able to get our client’s medical bills reduced, as well as win a big settlement for him and his family. Thankfully, he made a great recovery and is now back to riding motorcycles!

J.M. and P.M. v. American Family Insurance Company; (Others)

Auto Accident Case: 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.

J.L. v. Reidy Metal Services

Hazardous Chemical Injury Case: Our client was working at a desk near an elevator shaft on his night shift. Another company had sprayed varnish on the elevator earlier. Those chemicals were only supposed to be breathed by someone wearing a mask, and our client suffered a debilitating injury. Now, our client has trouble talking and breathing, which affects many other aspects of his life. He had originally hired a workers’ compensation lawyer on his case, which he did win. However, his lawyer did not specialize in serious injury cases, which is why he reached out to us. We fought hard and after many negotiations, we secured a large settlement for our client while he was able to rest and recover. He was extremely grateful for all of our hard work.

C.K. v. National Union Fire, Auto Owners, and Commonwealth Casualty

Car Accident Case: Our client was proceeding down a city street within the speed limit when another vehicle came out of a side street in front of her, causing a violent collision that killed the other driver. Our client suffered a serious injury to her leg that required five months in the hospital and approximately fifty skin-graft surgeries. After many hard negotiations with the insurance companies, we secured a large settlement for our client. We also fought to get her medical bills reduced, which increased her in-pocket amount. Thankfully, our client made an amazing recovery!

S.S. v. Sante Fe Insurance Company

Motorcycle Accident Case: Our client was hit on his motorcycle when the driver of another vehicle ran a red light. Our client was very seriously injured. Initially, we demanded the insurance company pay its minimal $15,000 policy limits. Unfortunately, the insurance company starting playing games and adding inappropriate terms to what should have been a simple settlement. As a result, we took the case all the way to trial where the jury gave a verdict that, combined with other costs owed by the defendant, came to more than $1,200,000.00. In most cases our client choose to accept a settlement at some point prior to trial. However, when our clients choose to fight for their rights, we stand by our clients. Mark is a certified specialist in injury and wrongful death law. One of the criteria to even qualify for a chance to take the requisite examination is having significant trial experience in serious injury and wrongful death litigation. (In fact, Jury Trials are one of Mark's favorite parts of the law.)

Bicycle Accident

Our client was struck from behind by a motor vehicle while riding in a bike lane. The victim was in ICU for an extended period of time due to massive brain swelling, a collapsed lung, 14 broken ribs, and a fractured knee, vertebrae, and pelvis.

HWLT established that the defendant’s liability policy was in full effect for $1.25 million. Unfortunately, our client had a problematic insurance policy and several liens. But through diligent effort, we were able to get him $1,023,579.55 in lien reductions and we put $804k in our client’s pocket!

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

Auto Accident Case: 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.

D. B. v. State of Arizona

Emotional Injury Case: 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 $950,000 and 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

Catastrophic Injury Accident Case: 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

Left Turn Car Accident Case: 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

Assault Injury Accident Case: 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.

F.E. v. Riverport Insurance

Auto Collision Case: Our client was traveling in his vehicle when a van made a left turn in front of him.

Wim City Employee

Car Accident Case: Our client was riding a motorcycle in Phoenix when approaching an intersection a police offer turned left in front of him. In Arizona, when you file a claim against the City of Phoenix or any governmental entity, you only have 180 days to file what is called a Notice of Claim. After that a lawsuit must be filed within one year from the date of the accident. In this case because our client was still recouping from his injuries at the one year mark, we did have to file a lawsuit. Our client was taken by ambulance to the hospital and had surgery. We were able to get the case settled at mediation and our client was very thankful for all the work we did in reaching a successful settlement.

J.P. v. Safeco Insurance Company, American Family Insurance Company

Road Rage Car Accident Case: 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.

R.C. v. Allstate Insurance Company, Sentinel Insurance Company

Catastrophic Injury Car Accident Case: 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.

F.S. v. Scottsdale Insurance Company

Rear-End Car Accident Case: 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.

$300,000.00

Rear-End Auto Accident Case: 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.

We were able to put together all of the medical and liability related documentation and obtain a fair result for this nice couple.

C.S. v. Farmers and Nationwide

Pedestrian Accident Case: Our client was crossing the street in a crosswalk while walking his dog when another driver failed to yield to our client and hit him. The driver dragged him on the ground, which resulted in severe injuries. Our client was knocked unconscious and suffered from road rash, lacerations, and fractures. He was hospitalized at Barrows Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Encanto Village. Our client first hired a criminal defense attorney who was not familiar with personal injury law, which understandably resulted in a frustrating experience. After receiving a recommendation from a friend, he reached out to us and hired us right away to take over his case. After numerous negotiations, our client was left with an enormous settlement in his pocket. He loved that we always kept him informed on everything that was taking place in his case, as well as how hard we worked on his behalf. He was extremely pleased and felt that no one could have done a better job!

Motorcycle Accident Case: Our client was riding his motorcycle down Thunderbird Road with a passenger riding with him.

Our client was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he spent seven days in the ICU. He suffered a fractured jaw, collapsed lung, head injury, and a fractured knee. We fought hard with multiple insurance companies while he focused on healing. At the close of the case, we got a settlement that made our client very happy and got his medical bills significantly reduced. He has almost made a full recovery now and is enjoying riding his Harley.

Child Injury Accident Case: 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.

N.D. v. Progressive Insurance Company; USAA Insurance Company

Intersection Auto Accident Case: 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.

$215,000.00

Hit-and-Run Accident Case: Hit and run 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.

There was a liability dispute in this case because some witnesses said it was our client's fault and other witnesses said it was the other driver's fault. Our client sustained a L1/L2 fracture. He was unable to work for some times. There was a significant worker's compensation lien and we had to work with the carrier which was very complex. Our client was also going through a divorce at the time which made matters complicated. In the end, we were able to settle the case for a fair amount and our client was extremely pleased.

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

Serious Injury Accident Case: 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.

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.

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.

Ultimately, we were able to ensure our clients received reasonable compensation for their injuries.

L.P. v. Farmers Insurance and Met Life Insurance

Passenger Injury Accident Case: L.P. was a passenger in a car with her friend who was the driver. The other driver was at fault but there was some testimony that our client's driver was at fault as well. At first, L.P. went to another attorney who did not practice only injury and wrongful death law. The case sat around for a year and in our client's opinion the attorney was not processing her case at all. We talked to L.P. and gave her some questions to ask the lawyer and told her to give the lawyer a chance as maybe he was doing a good job and just not communicating. She called us back and said after talking with the lawyer, she was surer than ever that she needed to hire an expert injury lawyer like Mark. We brought in the case and after reviewing it discovered that there was an insurance policy that the former attorney was not aware of that would apply to this case. There was also medical coverage we found that was applicable as well. As you can imagine, our client was ecstatic. We settled her case within a reasonable amount of time and shortly thereafter she referred us one of her friends who was in a serious car accident.

Motorcycle Accident Case: Our client was hit while on his motorcycle and the other driver was at fault.

J.L. v. State Farm

Tire Blow Out Accident Case: Our client had surgery to his femur from a Gilbert car accident. At first he and his wife tried to handle the case on their own. They thought it should be easy to have policy limits tendered. We talked to them and gave them some pointers on what they could do and told them to call us back if they were still having trouble. After a couple of months, they call us back because they were receiving letters from their health insurance and the hospital attorney's for liens and the insurance company still would not tender limits. We got involved at that point and were able to get the entire policy limits plus get the hospital to waive its lien and the health insurance company to reduce its lien by 75%. These clients were referred by the President of the Chamber of Commerce.

K.W. v. Country Companies Insurance Company

Uncapped Policy Limits Award Case: 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.

G.H. v. State Farm

K.A. v. City of Phoenix; State Farm Insurance Company

Multi-Defendant Car Accident Case: 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.

Dangerous Roadway Accident Case: 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.

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.

D.M. v. Allstate Insurance

Workplace Injury Case: Our client was hit in a parking lot as pedestrian by a co-worker. She was referred to us by another attorney. She had workers compensation and was contacted by them and told that she would have a lien and that her benefits could be taken away. Workers compensation laws in Arizona are somewhat confusing. There are different steps that need to be addressed and the statute of limitations is different when you have a worker's compensation claim. Our client required foot surgery. We were able to get the workers compensation to reduce by 90%. Our client wrote us an email thanking us and copied the referring attorney. When we later talked to the referring attorney, he said he was impressed with our client service. He said after our client told him all the great things we did for her, it would not have surprised him if we delivered cookies and milk to her doorstep. Although we have never quite done that, our clients do get the best of treatment and we were happy to hear that she was content with our client service and the settlement.

She was taken to the emergency room by ambulance and spent numerous nights in the hospital because of difficulty breathing. Her rib cage was bruised, and she had to sleep in a recliner while she was recovering. After the accident, her daily activities were limited. She knew she was going to need a lawyer. She researched law firms on the Internet and found our incredible reviews. She hired us and we immediately went to work. While she focused on recovering, we got her medical bills significantly reduced and put a large settlement in her pocket. She felt that we couldn’t have given her better service and was very happy with the result!

R.A. v. American Family Insurance

Triple-The-Result for a Deserving Dog Bite Victim

Dog Bite Accident Case: A woman was spending time with her boyfriend when the dog in the home, for no apparent reason, bit our client in her face. She suffered a significant injury that included permanent scarring. She was obviously traumatized not only by the attack but also by the permanent reminder of the dog bite. She turned to us for help and the insurance company involved made an offer to try to get the case settled without litigation. Our client instructed us to do everything we can to make sure that there was a full recovery on the case. Therefore, we took the case into litigation and got within a few months of trial. When the discovery was closed and the rest of the process was completed – and while facing the certainty of a trial – the insurance company dramatically increased their offer from the initial one that they had made and ultimately provided a recovery that tripled the amount that was received by our client. Our client's willingness to trust us and allow us to push this case through litigation forced a very well-deserved result for our client.

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.

She missed approximately three weeks of work, which put a financial burden on her. She researched personal injury lawyers and was very impressed with our reviews and ratings. We fought hard and got her a larger settlement than she expected. Our client was extremely grateful. It was a great success!

S.M. vs. USAA Insurance Company

Bike Accident Case: An SUV failed to keep a proper lookout at nighttime and ran directly into our client on his bicycle. Our client was taken to a hospital. Our client had only one beer prior to getting on his bicycle. While not the best choice, nobody suggested that this had any effect on his driving that evening or on the cause of the incident. However, the insurance company saw this as a way to avoid responsibility for its driver’s actions and wanted to avoid paying what was owed. After we researched the case further and demonstrated the fact that this case had nothing to do with alcohol, the insurance company backed down and agreed to pay the full $100,000 policy limits. However, our client owed over $100,000 in liens, so if we stopped our fight there our client would be left with nothing. Instead, we fought for our client with two lienholders. In the first instance, we were able to negotiate a lien from $39,283.77 down to $5,283.87. Even more helpful to our client, we were able to get a lien of $64,176.60 completely waived so our client owed nothing – now or in the future- and was able to receive a significant amount of money and have everyone related to the case paid off entirely.

W.L. vs. "Confidential" Insurance Company

Motorcycle Accident Case: This was a case with a terrible injury to a fantastic individual. When our client contacted us, we knew immediately that an attorney was unnecessary. We explained that our involvement in the case would only create attorneys’ fees that would take money away from our deserving client. We provided free advice to the client and explained to him how he should go about settling the case. Usually this is not as easy, but due the way his case was set up a lawyer was of no value at the time. Unfortunately, when the insurance company realized he was not working with a lawyer, the insurance company apparently saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation. They refused to pay the $100,000 they owed our client. We quickly got working on his case and were able to get the full amount of policy limits $100,000 and we then forced the insurance company to pay an additional $33,333 for our attorney's fees so that our client would not be harmed a single penny due to our involvement. Generally, the attorneys’ fees are deducted from the settlement, but the conduct of this insurance carrier led to an even better result for our client than if he had called any lawyer that would have tried to get involved immediately in the case.

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.

Slip and Fall Injury Case: A worker at a well-known, national fast food chain apparently wanted to go home early. So instead of following normal procedures and mopping the floor after the dining room closed for the day, the employee decided to start mopping with two customers still in the store. After one customer went to the bathroom, the employee mopped the area just outside the bathroom door. Not surprisingly, the woman was hurt when she exited the bathroom and slipped on the wet, soapy water on the tile floor. Adding insult to injury, it was reported that the manager on duty at the restaurant even refused to call 911 to help the injured customer.

When the woman learned her broken wrist would prevent her from working at the job that paid her bills, she contact the fast food chain and asked for help. They refused to help so this nice lady called our office. After over a year of collecting witness statements, entering litigation, handling depositions, retaining experts, and many other steps, we were able to force the chain to step up to the plate and pay our client for the injuries they caused through their own neglect.

Remaining Part of the "Husband & Wife Law Team Family"

Motor Vehicle Accident Case: In 1999, a young man was injured in a motor vehicle collision. He turned to The Husband & Wife Law Team for help and the case was resolved. Unfortunately, nearly 14 years later his wife and the mother of his children was involved in another motor vehicle wreck. Where did he turn? He turned to the same firm he had trusted years earlier before he was married with children. And when the insurance company refused to make a fair settlement offer to our client we took the case all the way through arbitration. When the insurance company tried to make an offer on the morning of arbitration we rejected it which ultimately led to a recovery greater than any they had previously offered. So that counts two victories for one couple – 15 years apart! It is nice that developing relationships with people can lead to trust and future victories years later. However, we do not like "repeat customers" and we have instructed this family to make sure they are never involved in another motor vehicle accident under any circumstances! Stay safe.

Thankfully, she did not require surgery, and decided to do a lot of physical therapy and exercise to recover from her injuries on her own. However, insurance adjusters tend to focus on medical bills after an accident; when the medical bills are not there, they offer less compensation. We at The Husband & Wife Law Team, make sure adjusters see the full value of our clients’ claims. We make them understand that while the medical bills may not be there, the injured person worked just as hard (if not harder) to recover and her claim should not be devalued.

We put a large settlement in her pocket and she was more than thankful for the services we provided for her!

Immediately after meeting us, he knew we would be the best fit for him because of our close attention to detail and the personal relationships that we build with our clients.

As a result of the collision, our client suffered from a head injury and had trouble breathing. Prior to the accident, our client worked as a teacher and a fitness instructor. After, she was unable to return to work because of her injuries. We worked hard to negotiate a settlement for her. After the first offer was made, we knew that it wasn’t enough. We negotiated and secured a settlement that was double the initial offer from the insurance company. We also got a medical lien from one provider completely waived and our client’s other medical bills reduced more than by a third. After all of the hard work, our client walked away with a large settlement in her pocket.

S.C. v. State of Arizona

Motor Vehicle Accident Case: Our client was driving on the freeway when, for some reason, she lost control of her vehicle and struck a light pole on the side of the freeway. Tragically, she passed away and left behind two daughters and her parents.

The police believed that this was a tread separation case, but after hiring multiple experts to examine the tire and flying the tire all over the country, we could not find one expert who believed this was a tread separation case. However, we hired a roadway expert who believed that the light pole should have broken away once our client’s car came into contact with it, but it did not.

Therefore, we had a claim against the state. We fought for our client in appellate court and then the court remanded the case back to trial court. At trial court, we had to prove that that if the pole had broken away as it was intended to do, our client would have lived. This required human factors experts and engineers to determine the change in velocity (Delta V). We retained ownership of the car and our experts did a 3D imaging on the car, which was incredible to see. You could actually see the outline of the pole in the car. The state’s defense was that these poles only break away when they are hit head-on and not from the side.

In doing our research, we found another almost identical accident that happened within one mile of our client’s accident only a few months prior with the same, tragic result.

All of our hard work, ongoing negotiations, and research paid off. The defense knew that we would not back down and we reached a settlement that made the family very happy.

He was rushed to the emergency room by ambulance; when he arrived, he was treated for abrasions all over his body. He also suffered extreme headaches, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Prior to the accident, our client lived a very active lifestyle and enjoyed hiking and doing activities outdoors. After the accident, he was restricted from the activities that he loved.

Auto Collision Case: Our client was in the passenger seat while his wife was driving. His wife stopped at a flashing red light at an intersection. She felt that it was safe to proceed when another driver who was speeding hit their vehicle. Our client was taken to the emergency room by ambulance with an injured leg. After he was released from the hospital, he got a bad infection from the wound, causing kidney issues, and he had to go back to the hospital. His wife reached out to us for help. The challenge in this case was that there were three other people who were injured, all trying to collect from the same liability carrier. At first, the insurance company fought us on our client’s underinsured motorist claim. We quickly won that battle. While our client focused on recovery, we fought hard on his behalf. We secured a large settlement for our client, and he and his wife were pleased with the results.

After being cared for at the hospital, she attended physical therapy appointments and followed all of the aftercare instructions recommended by medical professionals. Later, she began to experience more symptoms in her arm and hand, which required additional medical treatment. She hired us after her husband saw our ad on television.

A.B. v. Multiple Insurance Companies

Auto Collision Case: Our client was slowing down for traffic when he was rear-ended by another vehicle. Due to the impact, our client’s vehicle was pushed into another vehicle that was stopped. As a result, he experienced back and neck pain, as well as recurring headaches. He sought medical treatment at the hospital and followed up with many weeks of therapy. He personally reached out to us, and it was an easy decision to hire The Husband & Wife Law Team, after his first call with Mark. He felt Mark wasn’t pushy and gave him really good advice. Once we took the case, his insurance adjuster made the process difficult, but that didn’t stop us. During this time, our client was still driving the vehicle that had been in the accident. We helped him find a repair shop that would work directly with his insurance company, so he didn’t have to pay the expensive repairs out of pocket. We fought hard to get our client the settlement he deserved. The final settlement was six times larger than he anticipated. Needless to say, he was beyond happy and is now a raving fan!

After pushing hard, we successfully secured a reduction in her medical bills. Initially, we anticipated a small settlement due to the high amount of medical bills that she owed. However, the final settlement was triple the amount that she was expecting. It was a great outcome and our client was extremely happy with the results.

B.S. & J.S. v. Multiple Insurance Companies

Auto Collision Case: Our clients were in a car collision in which another driver failed to yield. The other driver pulled out, striking our clients’ car and seriously injuring both of them. The wife, who was the driver of the vehicle, suffered a broken sternum and was hospitalized for three days. The husband, who was the passenger, had serious internal bruising. They were hesitant to hire an attorney because they had never been in a situation like this, but after reaching out to us, they were glad they did. During our investigation, we found the at-fault driver did not have enough insurance to provide the settlement that our clients deserved. Thankfully, our clients carried underinsured motorist coverage, and we went to work to collect the policy limits. They focused on recovering while we negotiated hard to get their medical bills reduced. They were happy with the outcome of the case!

The collision caused serious injuries to both of her knees, and she required surgery on one of her knees. Simple activities such as walking or standing made our client extremely uncomfortable. Prior to hiring us, she was already offered a great settlement, but had medical liens that would reduce her overall in-pocket settlement amount if she accepted. We got her medical bills significantly reduced, and we got the insurance company to increase their initial offer to the full policy limits. It was a great outcome!

After following up with her primary care provider and still experiencing a significant amount of pain, she was referred to physical therapy, where she went through an extensive treatment plan. She hired us to fight on her behalf, and we went to work to reduce her medical bills by almost half of what she originally owed. We negotiated with the insurance company until we reached a fair settlement for our client. With all of the reductions in her medical bills and the settlement we secured from the insurance company, we put a large check in her pocket. She was surprised at the amount of her final settlement, as she was not expecting to receive that much money. She was happy with not only the outcome, but how the entire process went.

J.R. v. Multiple Insurance Companies

Medical Transport Van Collision Case: Our wheelchair-bound client was a passenger in a medical transport van. The driver of the van looked down at his phone for directions, and by the time he looked up, traffic on the freeway had completely stopped. He couldn’t react fast enough and rear-ended the vehicle in front of him. Our client was rushed to the hospital with a ruptured spleen and a broken ankle, amongst other injuries, and required emergency surgery. (Our client had recently had a knee replacement surgery in the same leg as her broken ankle.) Shortly after the accident, she developed an infection in her ankle that went up to her knee and required amputation of her leg. While she was recovering from her difficult surgery, we went to work. The defense argued that our client’s amputation was caused by her prior knee replacement. We had multiple expert witnesses arguing that it was, in fact, caused by the accident. At mediation, Mark fought hard, and the defense agreed to the amount we demanded. Not only did we reduce our client’s medical bills, but she and her family will have enough funds to enjoy their retirement and the rest of their lives without any financial burden. While no amount of money can ever give our client back her leg, we are excited that we were able to settle the claim successfully.

Multi-Car Collision Case: Our client was traveling eastbound on the freeway when she was struck from behind by another driver and pushed into the vehicle in front of her, which was also pushed into the rear of another vehicle. After the accident, our client suffered from neck and back pain, as well as severe headaches. She reached out to us for help so she could focus on healing. During our initial investigations, we found that that even though the defendant was cited for speeding, the opposing insurance company placed 70% of the fault on our client! That didn’t stop us. We fought to get her medical bills reduced by more than half of the original amount, which meant that our client received a larger in-pocket settlement than she was expecting. We are happy that we were able to help her through the difficult legal process.

Bus Accident Case: Our client’s son was the only passenger on a school bus along with the school bus aide and the driver. Both the aide and the bus driver had warning that our client’s son might try to run and jump off the back of the bus, as he had tried to do it before. Additionally, the day before, our client’s son had walked right past the school bus aide and stood by the alarm for 18 seconds before he pushed open the door slightly to make the alarm go off. Sadly, they did not make any effort to stop him from jumping off the bus while it was moving, and he sustained serious head injuries and permanent hearing loss. This was a tough case, because a jury could have placed the blame on the child or his parents, but that didn’t stop us. We received a confidential settlement, and we were also able to get more money for our clients by securing a significant lien reduction.

Auto Collision Case: After work, our client was driving home when she pulled over to allow an emergency vehicle through. Another driver failed to control their vehicle and rear-ended her. She was taken to the hospital for medical attention, as she suffered from back pain, muscle pain, and shoulder pain immediately following the accident. After she hired us, we fought hard so she could focus on recovering. She believed she had gap coverage, but after many attempts to secure the coverage, we discovered that she did not turn in all of the required paperwork on time for her gap insurance. (Gap insurance covers the difference between what you owe on a vehicle and what the actual value of the vehicle is if it is financed.) That didn’t stop us. Not only did we get her medical bills reduced, but we also put an extremely large settlement in her pocket by uncovering additional insurance policies. She was more than happy with the results!

She was rushed to the emergency room by ambulance, where she had emergency surgery. Following the accident, she was transferred to a rehab facility, and had medical bills piling up with minimal insurance coverage. She knew she couldn’t battle this on her own, so she reached out to us. We met with her at the hospital to discuss her case. She was able to focus on her health while we fought hard to get our deserving client a larger-than-anticipated settlement despite her low policy limits. Not only did our client walk away with a settlement in her pocket, but we also dramatically reduced her medical bills. It was a great outcome!

Rear-End Accident: After being rear-ended while on an off-ramp, our client was badly injured with broken ribs and a broken spinal disc. Fortunately, he did not have to receive surgery for his injuries, but was required to spend a great deal of time in the hospital recovering. The adverse insurance did accept liability, but was unable to offer much, as the motorist was underinsured. Our client did have UIM insurance, but that too was limited.

His treatment cost a great deal, but we were able to negotiate his costs down. He was given a lien for an out of network anesthesiologist, who provided pain medications not covered by his insurance plan, and a lien from his insurance network for his treatments. With a great deal of time, patience, hard work we were able to negotiate all three liens down extensively. In the end, despite the limited funds, our client was able to walk away with a sizable amount in his pockets.

Intersection Accident: Our client was driving through an intersection when the adverse driver made a left-hand turn into our client’s car. Our client was taken to the hospital immediately afterward. Thankfully, he only suffered minor wounds. But even small injuries can rack up a hefty medical bill! Our attorneys worked diligently for him and managed to get the adverse insurance to pay for the majority of the bill. There was a lien on our client for his treatment, which our attorneys managed to negotiate down by more than half. When all was said and done, our client walked away happy with our work and with a few extra thousand in his bank account.

Car Accident With Police Vehicle: Our clients, a married couple, were driving with their child in the car. It was a seemingly normal day for them, until a Phoenix police officer in a SUV, who had been chasing a criminal suspect, backed up into our client’s vehicle, causing substantial damage to the car and resulting in both of our clients becoming seriously injured. The husband suffered permanent injuries, and the wife was diagnosed with an incredibly painful neck strain that, even after extensive treatment, did not heal. Her job as a medical assistant made it difficult to find the time for physical therapy, so she was forced to stop going.

Our clients were left with significant medical debt due to the negligence of the police officer. Liability was clear. The officer failed to keep his vehicle under proper and adequate control at all times and the City of Phoenix failed to properly hire, train, supervise and monitor its employees. Initial mediations failed, however additional negotiations reached a settlement sum that our clients were pleased with, and we accepted.

Our attorneys then went to work reducing the liens our clients had been left with after their treatments. With diligent work and dogged pursuit, we were able to get the reductions our clients needed. While we were unable to reverse what happened and end the pain our clients will be suffering for some time due to their injuries, we at least were able to allow them to end this chapter in their life with more money than they had when it started.

Intersection Accident: Our client was legally driving through an intersection when she was hit by a driver running a red light. Our client was left with many injuries including contusions, a seriously hurt right knee, as well as a fracture to her left wrist that required surgery to repair. She was in recovery for several painful months. Unfortunately, the adverse insurance did not offer enough funds to fully pay for our client’s medical bills. With persistence and a strong work ethic, our attorneys were still able to get our client the funds she needed for her bills, as well as a little extra to help make her life more comfortable.

Confidential Settlement

Rear-End Accident: Our client was driving down the highway when the flow of traffic suddenly stopped. While our client, M.R., was able to slow and stop responsibly, the driver behind him was not, and collided with the back of our client’s car. The resulting impact then shoved our client’s car forward, hitting the vehicle in front of him. An officer was on the scene quickly, and the driver who initially hit our client admitted to the officer that he had been talking on the phone and was too distracted to give himself enough time to stop responsibly.

Despite that confession, the at-fault driver’s insurance did their best to blame M.R. for rear-ending the car in front of him, despite the fact that that collision would not have happened had our client not been hit by the at-fault driver.

As a result of the two collisions, M.R. suffered from intense pain in his back and his left leg, as well as severe headaches. In order to treat this pain, M.R. began to go to a chiropractor two to three times a month and began seeing his primary care physician more frequently for his headaches. Unfortunately, the headaches worsened over time, resulting in a diagnosis of chronic and non-intractable headaches, and he was prescribed several medications to try and control the pain.

The constant treatments and check-ups left our client with a high medical bill, which he had limited funds to pay for. The initial offer from the at-fault driver’s insurance was too low to cover the costs, but with some dedication and non-stop negotiations, the adverse insurance agreed to offer a higher settlement that not only covered M.R.’s medical bills, but also left him with a sizable amount in his pocket.

Head-On Collision: Our client was waiting for a red light to turn green, when the adverse driver fell asleep at the wheel and slammed into our client’s car, causing a head-on collision. Our client was immediately rushed to the closest hospital where she was diagnosed with a sprain to her right wrist, as well as cervical strain. In order to treat the resulting pain, our client worked with chiropractic care for several months, until she was eventually discharged.

Though both the adverse insurance and our client’s insurance had fairly low limits on how much they could offer, we managed to negotiate for our client to receive several thousand more. After paying for her medical costs, she walked away from this difficult chapter in life with enough money to help make the next year of her life much more comfortable.

Rear-End Accident: Our two clients, a young woman and her teenage brother, were pulling off of the highway when they were suddenly and forcefully rear-ended by another driver. The resulting impact caused the teenage boy to break his hip, which required surgery to heal properly. He was incredibly traumatized by this, especially because a serious injury is very difficult for someone so young to live through.

The out of pocket expenses were incredibly high for our clients’ mother, and although the adverse insurance had a policy that would cover the costs, the remaining amount would not go very far to make up the damage and trauma that was caused to the teenager. Thankfully, our skilled attorneys were able to find another policy that had a much higher limit and negotiate around that. In the end, our clients’ mother was given enough to cover the out of pocket expenses, as well as put away a sizable amount for her son’s future.

T-Bone Accident: The at-fault driver failed to yield right of way to our client at an intersection, resulting in a T-bone collision.

Negotiations with the adverse insurance were difficult, but we persisted and managed to get our client enough to cover all medical costs, as well as leave a sizable sum in his pocket, which will allow him to relax as his injuries heal.

Auto Accident: While enjoying the day together, our client and her grandmother were involved in a serious motor vehicle collision. The accident left our client in critical condition, with multiple severe injuries, and she was immediately rushed to the hospital. She had to stay in the ICU for several weeks with a fractured right hip, femur, tibia, fibula, left arm radius, and left femur. After her discharge, she had to use a wheelchair for months, as well as attend extensive physical therapy. Her medical bills were nothing to sniff at and far more than someone in her position could afford to pay.

The adverse insurance offered a large sum, but not enough to completely cover her bills. Our attorneys quickly went to work negotiating down her hospital liens, which they managed to get reduced by nearly 50%! Once her bills were paid, our client was cut a large check by the adverse insurance, which we are sure she will use to make her life far more comfortable as she continues on the path to recovery.

Rollover Car Accident: Our client was enjoying a drive with his father when they hit a patch of black ice. Our client’s father lost control of the car, which caused the vehicle to rollover. Our client was rushed to the hospital with a severe concussion, a laceration near his right eye, and several other abrasions and contusions. He had to be admitted to the ICU to properly treat his injuries. During his several week-long stay there, he missed many activities at his school and with his friends, limiting his ability to enjoy his life.

Thankfully, he contacted our firm for help, and we jumped right into action. We sent a demand to the adverse insurance, and they offered the highest possible amount the policy would allow. We took the offer and got to work with the hospital on negotiating down the medical lien, which we managed to get dropped by over 75%! After all was said and done, our client was left with a large sum of money that we hope he will use to make sure his future is bright.

Auto Accident: While taking a quick trip in her car, our client entered an intersection legally, as she had no stop sign. The adverse driver, who did have a stop sign, did not yield right of way to our client, and slammed into her vehicle on the driver’s side, causing incredible damage. Our client was immediately transported to a nearby hospital where she was diagnosed with lacerations to her right forearm that was caused by the airbag deploying in her vehicle.

However, our client also suffered from severe back and neck pain that would not go away. Her forearm also continued to cause her pain long after the lacerations appeared to have healed. She was sent to several physical therapy session to help with the pain and given differed prescription medications to treat the underlying issues, although doctors were not able to provide a suitable diagnosis. Our client was left in chronic pain for several months following her accident.

Once she contacted us for help, we sent a demand to the adverse insurance. The offer they sent back was far too low and did not even cover our client’s medical bills. We pushed the issue, and they sent back a new offer that was several thousand higher. After negotiating down her medical liens, we were able to get our client more in pocket money that we initially expected.

Bicycle Accident:Our client was enjoying a bike ride when the adverse party hit her with their car. While our client was going the wrong way according to the biking laws in the city, the adverse driver still should not have hit her. After negotiating both with the holders of our client’s medical bills and the adverse insurance, we were able to get our client a great sum of money in her pocket, and we hope she will be able to comfortably recover from her injuries with it.

Bicycle Accident: While enjoying a nice day riding his bike, our client passed through an intersection before being struck by a truck. The adverse driver had failed to stop at the intersection stop sign, and the resulting accident sent our client flying several feet into the air. Our client, after being taken to the hospital, was found to be suffering from two vertebrae fractures, a fracture in his foot, a severe concussion, and multiple abrasions across his body. Alarmingly, his concussion caused memory loss, a slight speech impairment, constant headaches, and a traumatic brain injury. In order to heal his injured spine, our client had to wear a full torso back brace, which limited his ability to enjoy his day-to-day life and do things like drive a car.

As a result of his numerous injuries, our client’s medical costs were incredibly high, and the adverse insurance policy did not even cover half. Thankfully, our client had an excellent UIM policy with his own insurance provider, which our attorneys where able to obtain. On top of that, we were able to argue that our client’s costly medical lien was not valid as the case was settled a full 30 days before the lien was even recorded. This meant our client did not have to pay a single penny of the lien. Our client was also charged for Sensory Testing that was done during a surgery to his neck. He felt he should not have to pay it as the test was done without his consent, and we agreed with him. So, one of our expert attorneys negotiated with the hospital for several weeks, and eventually got the bill waved.

After lengthy negotiations, several demands to the adverse insurance and to our client’s insurance, we were able to provide him with a sizable sum of in pocket money. Both he and his wife have now become friends of the firm, as they are incredibly happy with the time and effort we put into his case!

Auto Accident: Our client was struck while driving down a road after the adverse driver failed to yield right of why while pulling out of a parking lot. As a result, our client’s vehicle spun out of control, before hitting a light pole. The airbags on the driver’s side deployed, causing multiples injuries, and our client’s car was totaled. The injuries our client suffered included a left shoulder sprain and multiple contusions across his body. Our client was told to take physical therapy classes to help him recover.

Unfortunately, the adverse insurance had a very low policy limit, which would not cover our client’s costs in medical bills or damage done to his car. Our client did have an UIM policy, however, which we were able to negotiate with and win our client a large sum, nearly double what our client had told us he wanted! Hopefully, he will be able to close this traumatic chapter in his life and move on with the compensation we were able to get him.

Auto Accident: Our client was riding as a passenger in a friend’s vehicle when the adverse driver pulled out of a driveway, attempting to make a left-hand turn, and struck the vehicle our client was in. Our client was quickly rushed to the nearby hospital due to her complaints of intense pain in her neck, left shoulder, and lower back. After several months of treatment by her primary care physician, she was finally discharged when her pain finally subsided.

After contacting the adverse insurance, we were offered enough to cover the medical costs, but not enough to leave our client with her desired in pocket amount. We were able to negotiate the offer from the insurance provider up, as well as negotiate the medical liens down. By the time we were done, our client was left with almost doubt what she originally wanted in pocket!

Bicycle Accident: Our client was lawfully riding her bike in the bike lane when she was struck by a driver who failed to yield the right of way during a left-hand turn. At the hospital, our client was diagnosed with severe abrasions on her knees, a fibular fracture, and a contusion to her left hand. The fracture required a 3-way splint and crutches. She was also prescribed medications to treat her nausea and pain. It was later found that our client was also suffering from a fractured toe and intense hip pain. She was given further medications for the pain, and the toe was treated. In order to aid the healing process, our client was forced to use a wheelchair and had very limited mobility. This greatly impacted her life, especially because she was a very active person who enjoyed biking, hiking, running, and numerous exercise classes.

Our client’s medical bills were substantial. Our attorneys were able to get an initial offer from the adverse insurance, which was enough to cover medical costs, but not enough to give our client the in pocket amount she wanted. Our attorneys continued negotiations and were able to get the adverse insurance to raise their offer three times, before finally hitting an amount our client was comfortable with. After that, we went to work with the health insurance companies our client had policies with and managed to get her bills reduced. Once we were finished, our client had a substantial amount more in her pocket than she initially asked for!

Rear-End Auto Accident: The adverse driver failed to properly control his speed and rear-ended our client’s vehicle. Our client was left with severe pain in his neck, left shoulder, upper and lower back, and down his right leg. He also suffered from dizziness and intense headaches. Our client was given physical therapy appointments to help him heal and treat the pain. Our client attends university on a wrestling scholarship but was unable to participate in tournaments due to his pain and has difficulty practicing despite having completely healed. This pain has greatly impacted his life and his ability to keep up with the demands of his scholarship.

After contacting us for help, we went to work on our client’s medical bills. We were able to get them reduced by over 10%, and after submitting our demands to the insurance company, we were able to get our client the in pocket amount he wanted, and then some! We hope he will continue to recover from the pain, as well as excel in wrestling.

Rear-End Accident: While stopping, our client was rear-ended by a package delivery truck. His car was severely damaged, with repairs costing several thousands of dollars. While getting checked by his doctor, our client found that he had an incredibly stiff neck and back, as well as numbness in his left arm and hand. His doctor prescribed him chiropractor sessions, which he went to for up to three times a week. While these sessions helped our client heal, the medical bills were exorbitant.

However, after expert negotiations, our attorneys were able to win our client enough to cover all costs and double what he originally wanted for his in-pocket amount!

Auto Accident: While riding with a friend during a road trip, our client was injured when that friend lost control of the car and collided with the curb and a decorative pole. When paramedics arrived on the scene, they examined our client and then immediately rushed him to the hospital. There it was found that he had serious head wounds that required emergency surgery. Following the surgery, our client had his jaw wired shut to promote proper healing and spent a week recovering in the hospital. Six weeks later, he returned to have the wires removed.

Unfortunately, the adverse insurance had a policy cap that was just one-fourth of what our client needed for his medical costs, and our client did not have an underinsured motorist policy with his insurance provider. With some detective work, we were able to find that because our client lived with his brother, his brother’s insurance policy could also apply to his accident. This doubled the amount that we had to work with!

Once the insurance companies were settled with, we went to work negotiating down our client’s medical bills, which were still twice as much as we were able to get from the insurance policies. The hospital was incredibly difficult to work with, and we had to spend months calling them again and again, trying to get straight answers. Finally, we had the numbers we needed. With some determination and grit, we were able to get the medical bill dropped by nearly 90%! That meant that not only could our client pay his bills with the insurance money, but he could also walk away from this accident with enough in compensation to take some time off and relax. Needless to say, our client was incredibly happy with our work!

Bicycle Accident: Our client, a very active, elderly woman, was riding her bike down the sidewalk, avoiding the road as there was heavy construction nearby, when she was hit by a man backing out of his driveway. The collision threw our client from her bike and onto the ground. An ambulance quickly whisked her away to the hospital, where they found that her right tibia had been fractured. Surgery was required to fix the break and, following the operation, our client had to spend almost a week in the hospital recovering. Afterward, she then had to move to a rehabilitation center in order to prepare for returning home. After two weeks at the center, our client was finally able to go home.

Once we were on the case, we immediately got to work. At first, both our client’s insurance and the adverse insurance assigned comparative fault to our client because she was riding against traffic when she was hit, rather than with it. Thankfully, the adverse insurance didn’t hold that stance long and eventually agreed to offer its policy cap to our client. We then went after our client’s underinsured motorist policy. Their initial offer was far too low, but we were able to get them to nearly double the amount.

With the insurance settled, we made quick work of our client’s medical bills. Our attorneys were able to get the medical lien lowered by a third. That, combined with the high insurance offers obtained, meant that our client and her husband could enjoy the rest of their retirement in peace. Thankfully, our client hasn’t allowed this incident to deter her, and she is still active and enjoying life to this day.

Auto Accident: While driving through an intersection, our client was struck by another driver who was making a left turn and not properly yielding the right of way. Our client was severely injured in the accident and quickly transported to the hospital where he had to receive emergency surgery for several fractures on his spine, as well as injuries to his thorax and cervicalgia. Following the surgery, our client had to spend several days in the hospital while he recovered.

When our attorneys went to work, the adverse insurance was only willing to offer a small amount to our client. We were not willing to settle for anything less than our client deserved. Considering the trauma he went through, we felt he should receive far more than what was being offered. After several back-and-forth counteroffers, we were able to raise the initial offer by over 20%! This far surpassed what our client requested for his in-pocket amount, which means he will hopefully be able to use that money to relax as he finishes healing from his injuries.

Road Rage Accident: The adverse driver, who was having a fit of road rage, lost control of his car and hit our client’s vehicle. The force of the collision caused our client’s car to flip three times, eventually landing upside down. Thankfully, there were witnesses at the scene who helped rescue her from the wreck. The resulting injuries included cracked ribs, punctured lungs, and a hairline fracture to her rotator cuff. Her medical bills were astronomical, and she was unable to work due to her injuries for nearly half a year.

Our client did not come to us until several months following her accident. At that time, she had already settled with the adverse insurance for their policy cap but was being refused the money as the insurance company wanted a final medical lien. We quickly got to work and were able to get her the amount she had been promised, as well as a substantial amount from her own underinsured motorist policy. After settling with both insurance providers, we got her medical bills lowered by nearly 50%! Of course, even such a high in-pocket amount will not erase the trauma our client faced, but we hope she can walk away from her accident satisfied that this chapter of her life has been closed.

Following the accident, our client had to be treated for a concussion and later underwent counseling for the anxiety she had developed. While the damage to her car was minimal and she had a history of concussions, we were still able to negotiate for the adverse insurance’s policy cap. With some long nights of non-stop work, we were also able to get her medical bills reduced by almost 90%! After paying her remaining bills and repairing her car, our client was able to walk away from her accident with a great deal of change in her pocket.

R.M. v. CITY

Loving Grandfather Dies As a Result of Dangerous Condition Ignored by a City

Catastrophic Premises Injury Case: A grandfather flew in from out of state to spend time with his daughter and grandchildren. After watching his grandson play basketball, he was exiting the building when he was tripped by a piece of carpet which caused him to fall, strike his head, and led to his very unfortunate and untimely death. The family was devastated. The city denied any wrongdoing and blamed our client, the grandfather.

We hired expert witnesses. We dug deeply into the medical issues. But ultimately we were able to find the "needle in a haystack" by doing significant discovery that led to uncovering an email where a city employee complained about the number of people who were tripping on the very rug that led to our client's fall.

Nothing can undo this horrible tragedy. But in bringing this case forward this brave family not only uncovered the wrongdoing of the city but, in the process, hopefully forced changes by the city that will prevent other people from suffering horrible and preventable injuries. The amount of the settlement was confidential.

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.

He was transferred to the closest hospital, University Medical Center in Tucson, by helicopter, where he underwent two knee surgeries for his fractured patella. According to the police report, the driver of the utility truck was at fault for the accident, but that fact didn’t stop the insurance companies from disputing liability and suggesting that N.M. had some fault in the accident. We fought hard to drastically reduce N.M.’s amount in medical bills and we successfully got a large settlement that he was very happy with.

W.L. v. MetLife Insurance

Hit-and-Run Motorcycle Accident Case: Our client was driving his motorcycle on US 93 when a reckless driver crashed into him and fled the scene. Our client suffered serious injuries, including two different breaks in his back, broken ribs, and severe damage to his arm. He had to undergo numerous surgeries, ranging from the installment of rods into his back to the transfer of nerves from his leg into his arm to try to regain use of it. As a result, our client had significant recovery time and eventually had to be placed on permanent disability.

What made this particular case difficult was the fact that the at-fault driver was never found. That didn’t stop us. We went to work to find uninsured/underinsured coverage for our client and demanded the full policy limits. Not only did we end up reducing his medical bills, but we got a large settlement for our client and his family.

T.T. v. USAA Insurance Company and Dairyland Insurance Company

Motorcycle Accident Case: Our client was driving his motorcycle when he ran a red light as another driver was making a left turn.

Our client was in the hospital for over three months with a concussion, facial lacerations and abrasions, a C2 body fracture, a right humerus fracture, a left tibial plateau fracture, pelvic fractures, and a right ulnar fracture. Because he was in the hospital for an extended amount of time, he suffered muscle weakness, causing further injury to his right, dominant arm. Sadly, the other driver didn’t have insurance and our client’s medical bills were extremely high. We were able to negotiate with his medical providers to get his entire medical lien waived and we uncovered an insurance policy that paid out the entire limits. Our client couldn’t believe the news when we called to tell him that he was receiving a large settlement check!

Motorcycle Accident: While riding his motorcycle, our client was struck by a car. Thankfully, he was wearing a helmet, however, he still suffered substantial injuries including a ruptured spleen, as well as fractures to his femur, pelvis, and collarbone. Even worse, a year later the medical hardware used to repair our client’s femur failed and he was forced to undergo surgery once again, adding to his medical bills.

There were insufficient funds from the adverse insurance in order to cover the extensive costs of our client’s treatment. So, we went to work negotiating lien reductions. With immense work and perseverance, we were able to get the liens reduced by over 90%! By the time this case was closed, our client recovered from his injuries, and we were thrilled to be able to leave him with a substantial amount in insurance money.

Nursing Home Abuse Injury Case: Our client was at Desert Sky Health when she was dropped by an employee. She sustained a broken arm and required surgery. Her family did the research for her on what attorney to hire and chose us as her attorneys. Arizona nursing home abuse cases can be difficult to prove because often times the client is not aware of all of the facts and the staff at the nursing home can cover up things. This case was somewhat of a case that you see on TV. We discovered right before trial that the Defendant had withheld evidence. With all the preparation we had done on the case, including hiring multiple experts, the Defendant made a fair offer right before trial.

Sadly, she is now unable to do any of the activities she previously enjoyed, such as bingo, dancing, and cooking. She is not even able to walk without assistance. At first, our client and her family were hesitant to hire an attorney because of horror stories they’d heard about how poorly people were treated by attorneys who didn’t have their clients’ best interests at heart. Thankfully, our client’s daughter did reach out to us and we were able to meet with her within the first 24 hours of the accident. After refusing to back down in negotiations, not only did we receive a settlement from the assisted living facility’s insurance, but also from the door manufacturer’s insurance. And we got our client’s medical bills significantly reduced and paid for. She was grateful that we were here to help her and her family every step of the way.

Some of the dog owner’s children and our client’s daughter were petting the 100-pound dog on the front porch while the adults supervising were just six feet away. All of a sudden, the dog snapped and bit our client’s daughter in the face.

At first, our client was hesitant to hire an attorney because she was worried it would cause the dog owner’s family financial distress, but she knew it had to be done to cover her daughter’s medical expenses. At the initial consultation with The Husband & Wife Law Team, we explained to her that the settlement comes from the dog owner’s insurance company, not the dog owner directly. She knew then we were going to be the ones to win her daughter’s case. While our clients focused on recovery, we fought hard to win a large settlement for them.

Dog Bite Case: Our client was jogging with her boyfriend around his apartment complex when all of a sudden, she was attacked from behind by a German Shepherd. This German Shepherd was on a leash but could not be controlled by its owner. Our client suffered deep puncture wounds on her arms and back from the attack. That same day, she went to seek medical attention. After receiving medical care, she reached out to us for help. After she hired us, she was able to focus on healing while we did the hard work for her. During our investigations, we found that the dog owner unfortunately did not have insurance. That didn’t stop us. We filed a claim against the apartment managers due to negligence because they knew that the dog had previously bitten someone else. We not only got a large amount of our client’s medical bills reduced, we also put a large settlement in her pocket. It was a great outcome!

B.R. v. Allstate Insurance Company

Dog Bite Case: Our client was out walking his dog on the sidewalk when a neighbor’s dog attacked him and his dog. The neighbor’s dog bit off a large part of our client’s thumb and punctured the index finger on his dominant hand. The injuries from the dog bite required multiple surgeries. Unfortunately, surgeons could not re-attach the part of his thumb. He reached out to us because he knew he was in need of an attorney. We fought hard on his behalf while he focused on healing, so he could begin working out and doing outdoors activities like he used to prior to the incident. We had no choice but to file a lawsuit, as the insurance company was not responsive. Throughout negotiations, the insurance company made offers that were unacceptable. Finally, after all of our hard work, they agreed to our demands. Not only did we get our client’s medical bills reduced, but we put a large settlement into his pocket. We were happy that we were there to help our client and his family.

C.S. v. State Farm Insurance

Dog Bite Case: Our client’s 4-year-old daughter was at a friend’s house playing with two of their dogs. One dog bit our client’s daughter in the face. No one witnessed the attack. People in the home heard her scream, and as they entered the hallway, they found our client’s daughter in tears with severe lacerations to her right cheek and right temple. She was immediately taken to the hospital, where she required approximately fifteen stitches in her face. Doctors knew that some scarring would be left behind, with the possibility of future medical care to minimize the scarring. Going into our investigation, it was unknown whether or not the dog owner carried a homeowners insurance policy. We worked hard to uncover a homeowners policy, and after many negotiations, we not only got the medical bills reduced, but were able to get a large settlement. Our client was grateful for all we did for her and her daughter!

S.H. v. Hartford Insurance Company

Dog Bite Case: Our client was hired to perform some work on a home. She was unexpectedly attacked by a pit bull in the home. The attack caused serious injuries to her hands and thigh, which ultimately led to an infection. She reached out to us because she knew she needed an attorney. During our investigations, we uncovered a homeowners insurance policy. After many negotiations, we secured the full policy limits. We put a large settlement in our client’s pocket, and we worked hard to reduce her medical bills as well. She was very pleased with the outcome of her case and we are glad that we were able to help her. A big win!

Dog Bite: Our client was enjoying some fresh air as she walked her leashed dogs around the neighborhood. Without any warning, a pit bull ran down the street towards them and attacked. One of our client’s dogs sustained serious wounds during the attack, and our client, after sustaining a bite wound, was knocked to the ground, causing further injuries.

While undergoing treatment, it was discovered that our client’s left eye had been wounded, causing it to swell. She also had puncture wounds on her left hand and severe pain in her back and neck as a result of the fall. The abrasion to her eye resulted in blurry vision, headaches, and eventually lead to an infection and vertigo. The vertigo required a great deal of physical therapy to treat, and this ran up our client’s medical bills. In addition to her own medical treatment, our client’s dog received staples to close his wounds. Both owner and dog were left traumatized by the incident, and no longer felt safe walking around their own neighborhood.

In order to try and make up for the pain and suffering our client went through, and to help pay for medical expenses, our attorneys went to work investigating our client’s case. The owner of the pit bull did not have renter’s insurance, but did agree to pay out of pocket. We did not expect to get much given the circumstances, but after hard-fought negotiations, we managed to get our client several more thousand than what was initially offered.

After that win, we then began fighting for a total waiver from our client’s health insurance subrogation claim. Though it wasn’t easy, we managed to get the total claim waived. In the end, our client walked away with several thousand in her pocket for all the pain she had to endure.

Dog Bite: While enjoying a meal at a local café with his mother, our young client was suddenly attacked, unprovoked, by a large Rottweiler that was being walked through the restaurant by a couple. Our client, who was only a child, suffered serious lacerations across his entire left arm. He was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent surgery, which was followed by a lengthy period of physical therapy.

The restaurant’s insurance company denied any liability, due to the fact that the dog was not owned by the restaurant in question. We were not going to let them deny responsibility for the damages our client suffered while in their establishment. Our skilled attorneys went to work and negotiated non-stop for months. The insurance company’s initial offer was too low for what our client needed and deserved, so we continued to push. Eventually, they came back with an offer that both we and our client found acceptable.

At the end of the process, we were able to give our client and his parents over double the amount they initially wanted in pocket! While our young client will likely have scars left over from his attack, we hope that the settlement we won for him will make his life more comfortable.

Dog Bite: Our client was suddenly and viciously attacked, unprovoked, by her neighbor’s dog, and suffered a bite to her chin. The recovery process was lengthy, and she had several surgeries and scar recovery sessions in order to fully heal. Thankfully, the adverse insurance had a high limit and did not put up too much of a fight once our attorneys went to work with negotiations.

After all was said and done, our client walked away from this traumatic incident with an astronomically high check. She was ecstatic with our handiwork, and we’re sure she’ll be able to get back to living her life, although with a little more luxury, perhaps.

She had surgery done on the outer ear and stayed in the hospital overnight to await surgery on her nose. She didn’t have an issue with migraines prior to the accident; after the accident, she started experiencing migraines, which caused her difficulty focusing and remembering things. She is a teacher and was unable to work because of this accident. She knew that she didn’t want to fight the insurance companies alone, and reached out to us. We fought hard on her behalf and got her medical liens significantly reduced and a large settlement from the insurance companies. She was thrilled with the outcome of her case.

We fought extremely hard to not only get his medical bills reduced, but also put a large settlement in his pocket. It was a big win!

Injured By Nearby Car Accident

Pedestrian Accident Case: While waiting at a bus stop with her children, our client and one of her sons were seriously injured after two cars collided in an intersection and careened into the bus stop. Thankfully, our client’s other two children suffered only minor injuries.

After accepting the case, we submitted demands to both of the insurance companies of the vehicles involved in the accident. We were able to reach an acceptable pro rata distribution after a great deal of consideration and negotiation. Our client and her son were both able to walk away with a great deal of money to compensate for their pain.

Pedestrian Accident Case: After being the victim of a pedestrian and vehicle collision, our client was left severely injured with a ruptured bladder, broken pelvis, fractured skull, and damage to her left knee and arm. Her medical bills alone were in the millions. Despite spending 8 months in a rehab center, she still uses a cane and will never be the same.

The adverse insurance did not give nearly enough to cover our client’s expenses, and there was no other source of funds, unfortunately. Our client had a lien with her medical provider which we were able to reduce a great deal. She also had two outstanding balances, both of which we got reduced down several thousand.

In the end, our client was able to walk away having paid for her medical debt, and still have some insurance money left over for later use. While she will never fully heal, she will at least be able to breathe a little easier without incredibly high medical bills hanging over her head!

Pedestrian Accident Case: Our client, M.S., was walking across the parking lot in her apartment when she was struck by a driver in his vehicle. M.S. suffered a brain bleed and had to be hospitalized for 3 days. The driver’s insurance agreed to pay as liability was clear. However, our client was continuing to receive treatment for her injuries, and recovery was slow. Medical bills would continue to rise, and the payout offered by the adverse insurance would not cover future expenses.

With a bit of work, we were able to get her own auto insurance help pay as well. The health insurance carrier initially claimed a subrogation lien, but upon further communications with them, there was no valid lien and she was not subject to repayment of any amounts paid. M.S. also received a lien of from the hospital in which she was recovering. However, it was recorded extremely late, making it invalid, so we were able to have it released. Our client had another lien for her treatment, which we negotiated to be reduced by over half. Her final lien was for her physical therapy, which we once again got reduced.

By the end of the process, M.S. was left with a large sum of money for her claim. We are incredibly pleased that we were able to provide some much-needed help and give our client the best possible outcome.

Pedestrian Accident Case: While walking on a crosswalk, our client was hit by a driver who took a right turn without looking. The impact resulted in a broken ankle. An ambulance was called, and she was rushed to the hospital to receive surgery for her injury. Unfortunately, our client was in a difficult financial situation, and her family was living out of a hotel. Due to this, the necessary paperwork to apply for financial help with her medical bills was sent to her sister’s house, who neglected to provide it before the deadline. As a result, our client was denied help.

However, we went to work right away, and managed to get one of her bills lowered by 95%! We also worked on her second bill, which was lowered by over 60%. Once her bills had been taken care of, our attorneys then went up against the liability adjuster of the at-fault driver’s insurance. Initially, the insurance claimed that our client was at fault, as she “had a duty to make sure she made eye contact with the driver prior to walking into the crosswalk.” We wholeheartedly disagreed with that assessment, and, after a great deal of negotiating, managed to obtain full policy limits.

With everything said and done, our client was able to walk away from this unfortunate incident with a great deal of money in her pocket. During our final meeting with her, she assured us she planned on using part of the sum to open a storefront for her hair business. We were happy to help and hope that, despite the pain and trauma the accident caused her, she will be able to turn her life around for the better.

Pedestrian Accident Case: Despite having the right of way when entering a crosswalk, our client was struck by a driver running a red light. As a result, our client was left with a left elbow contusion and abrasion, a knee sprain in her left leg, and a right fibular fracture. She also required stitches for a large cut across her forehead. Later radiology images showed that our client was also suffering from a fracture to her right proximal fibular, and a CT scan after that showed signs of a possible brain bleed. All of these injuries left our client unable to work for five long months.

The adverse insurance offered a low settlement at first, which would not have covered our client’s medical bills, let alone leave anything extra in her pocket. We knew that wasn’t good enough, so we went to work on negotiations, and managed to get a new offer that was over 60% higher! Once we confirmed our client was happy with the settlement amount, we began negotiations on her medical bills and, through dedication and experience, were able to get them drastically reduced. In the end, our client walked away from this case with over four times the amount she initially told us she wanted in her pocket.

Pedestrian Accident Case: While crossing the street our client was hit by a car and suffered from a concussion, a traumatic brain injury, and a fracture to his right foot and right elbow. The brain injury was severe enough that he suffered long-term memory loss, behavior changes, and had to relearn how to stand, walk, eat, and swallow in a rehabilitation facility. We were able to negotiate with the adverse insurance and got an offer that met the policy limit. It covered the medical costs and left our client with a large sum he could use to keep himself comfortable while he continues to recover.

A.G. v. Allstate Insurance Company

Daycare Negligence Case: Our client’s 6-month-old daughter was injured at her daycare center. She had been shaken, dropped, and slammed against the wall, causing extensive bleeding to the brain, a fracture on the right side of the skull, permanent brain damage, and overall long-term damage. The child was hospitalized for over three weeks. Due to the assault, she suffered from epilepsy, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, and shaken baby syndrome. Following the accident, she could not talk, crawl, or sit up without help and required a feeding tube. To provide the amount of care her daughter required, our client had to quit both of her jobs and hire a nurse.

She was extremely hesitant about hiring an attorney because the first law firm she contacted said it wasn’t worth their money or time. After contacting us, she knew we were going to take care of her daughter. We fought hard to not only win a large settlement but also to drastically reduce the medical liens. The settlement provided relief for our client and her family so they could focus on healing.

I.L. v. Confidential

Preschool Negligence Case: Our client’s 3-year-old daughter was unsupervised in a preschool bathroom that wasn’t childproof. After washing her hands, she put her hand inside the hand blow dryer and severely cut three of her fingers. She had to undergo surgery on her hand and received a lot of follow-up treatment. Her mother reached out to us to help so she could focus on attending to her daughter. During our initial investigation, the preschool said that the hand dryer manufacturer was at fault for the injuries. After ongoing negotiations, we proved that the accident was not caused by the hand dryer, but rather by the negligent preschool that allowed our client’s young daughter to go to the bathroom unsupervised. Not only did we succeed in reimbursing the mother for her lost wages, we also put a large settlement in a trust account - more than double what our clients were expecting. Needless to say, they were very happy with the outcome of the case.

Personal Injury Case: Our client’s minor daughter was involved in an altercation with three teenage girls in the parking lot of our client’s apartment complex. Our client, of course, rushed out to help her daughter, as she was being attacked by the three teenagers. One of the 18-year-olds got into a car and drove into our client, before fleeing the scene. Our client was left with two fractured ribs and serious injuries to her knees and calves.

As a result of her injuries, our client had to stay in the hospital for several days for observation. The insurance company was quick to make an offer, but it was not enough to pay for our client’s extensive medical bills. With no other avenues or insurance policies to turn to, we went to work on negotiating down our client’s hospital liens. With a great deal of persistence, we managed to cut down our client’s lien by nearly half the original amount! With all said and done, our client was able to go home to her daughter with a nice chunk of change in her pocket.

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.

Trip and Fall Accident Case: Our client was at the dentist and had just finished getting some dental work done. As she got up from the chair, she tripped over an electrical box nearby. The fall was so severe that she was transported to the hospital immediately, where they diagnosed her with a broken pelvis. She had surgery the next day, which required three separate incisions for the placement of hardware to reduce the fracture. Our client had previously been extremely active and was also the primary caregiver for her husband, but due to this accident, she was restricted in her daily activities. She had to hire help for her husband because she was unable to help him herself. She knew after this fall that she needed a lawyer. Not only was she exhausted and stressed, but she had a huge financial burden from the accident and having to hire extra help for her husband. She hired us and we went to work. We knew the first offer made by the insurance company to our client wasn’t enough. We pushed hard to get our client’s in-pocket settlement up 25% from the original offer. We also got her liens significantly reduced. It was a great success!

The desk clerk told the individual that they would take care of it.

As our client exited the restroom, she didn’t see the coffee and slipped and hit her head on the floor. She suffered a head injury and experienced dizziness and short-term memory loss. She also experienced ongoing vertigo. She reached out to us for a consultation and immediately hired us. We worked hard negotiating with the defendants and the medical providers. We got her medical bills reduced and put a large settlement in her pocket. She was very appreciative of our hard work.

D. R. v. Apartment Complex

Trip-and-Fall Accident Case: Our client had been visiting her daughter and as she was leaving the apartment complex, she fell down a flight of stairs. She couldn’t see the steps because there were no working lights on the stairs. She suffered serious injuries, and required surgery and months of recovery following the fall. Her daughter had previously made several complaints regarding the lack of lighting after she almost fell down the stairs herself. After investigating the situation, we told the defendants the settlement amount that we would accept. They refused. Oftentimes, defendants such as this apartment complex think attorneys will accept a lower offer to avoid the time and expense of going to trial. Oftentimes, that is the case. Some lawyers don’t have trial experience, or the resources to take a case to trial. But The Husband & Wife Law Team passionately pursues our clients’ best outcome; so, of course, we didn’t back down. We took the case to trial to make sure our client got the settlement that she deserved. The day before trial, the defendants contacted us and said that they would pay the amount we originally demanded. At that point, we increased our initial demand and settled at an even higher amount! A big win!

Trip-and-Fall Case: While turning to flee from a large, loose dog running towards her, our client tripped and fell, fracturing her arm and injuring her knee and shoulder. She also sustained contusions to her hands and forehead. We went after the dog owner’s homeowner insurance, and despite the claim being initially denied, we continued to fight for our client. The insurance company relied on the fact that the dog never touched our client and a witness claiming that the dog was being friendly, not aggressive.

However, we did not give up on our client or her case. Through attorney Alexis Breyer’s excellent negotiating skills, we were able to get all of our client’s medical bills paid for, as well as an undisclosed amount in her pocket.

H.K. v. Crete Carrier Corporation

Trucking Accident Case: 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

Rollover Accident Wrongful Death Case: 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.

Wrongful Death Case: Our client was driving his twin sons to school when he was involved in a head-on collision. He had crossed over the yellow line into the path of a commercial truck. He began to swerve back into his own lane, but so did the commercial truck. Sadly, as a result of the collision, our client passed away. His children, thankfully, survived the impact. His older son reached out to us when he knew he needed a lawyer. During our initial investigation, we found that the driver of the commercial truck was speeding, which slowed his response time. We fought hard to prove that the commercial truck driver was at fault because his reactions were delayed due to excessive speed. After many tough negotiations, the insurance company agreed to our settlement demands. We are happy that we were able to help the family with the legal process during their difficult time.

Wrongful Death Case: Our clients’ son went out for the night with a good friend. Unfortunately, it was his last. He and the friend went out drinking before deciding to go back to the friend’s house and look at each other’s firearms, as they had served in the Marines together. The friend handed a gun over, but he did so improperly, shooting our clients’ son in the face. Rather than call for emergency services, the so-called friend called his girlfriend instead, wasting precious time. We will never know what truly happened, or what police and paramedics may have been able to do for the young Marine had they been called immediately. He was only 27 when he died. Although no amount of money could ever compensate for the loss of their son, we were able to help our clients receive financial recovery from a wrongful death suit.

Wrongful Death Case: Our client’s husband was struck and killed while driving to work. The adverse insurance accepted responsibility immediately and offered as much as they could under the policy. However, our client’s husband had a son from a previous marriage who wanted to be included on the claim. The son was an adult in his 20s, who our client’s husband had had very little contact with since separating from his previous wife. The son hired an attorney and pushed to be included in the claim. Our client offered to give him 20% of the money she was given by the adverse insurance. The son refused and demanded a higher amount. We spent years negotiating with the son and his attorneys, leaving our client unable to use the money she had been awarded. Finally, after a very long battle, we were able to get the son to accept 17% of the insurance money. Our client was thrilled to have the event finally behind her, and it allowed her to properly mourn her husband and begin the healing process.

Entire Policy Limits Victory

R.T. v. Infinity Insurance Company

R.T. v. Hartford Insurance

Serious Injury Accident Case: Our client came to us for help after he suffered serious injuries while standing near a fast food drive-through window and the car in line unexpectedly and rapidly accelerated into our client. Our client was thrown in the air and burns (including some third degree burns) over 20 percent of his body.

The initial reaction, due to insurance coverage issue and an attempt to blame the vehicle manufacturer, was a total denial of any liability or payment whatsoever. Our client had suffered life-altering injuries at the time of this incident and the insurance company simply refused to pay. We were undeterred, and continued to fight until the insurance company paid its entire policy limit. Not satisfied, we argued for additional coverage from the same policy and the insurer – which had tried to deny any fault at all – ended up being convinced to pay out two different policy limits to our client.

However, our client owed $135,000 in medical billing liens. With a team effort – led by Alexis Breyer – we convinced the hospital to accept only $1,700 in full payment of the lien – a big victory as it greatly increased the money our client was able to receive.

Motorcycle Accident Case: Our client was on his motorcycle when he was hit by a negligent driver who failed to keep a proper lookout for motorcycles. Our client was thrown through the air 40 feet which led him to spend multiple nights in the hospital. However, there was not enough insurance and therefore even after forcing a policy limits offer from the insurance companies involved there was not enough money to make a difference for our client. So we did not stop at that point. Instead, we fought for every nickel and dime we could by getting his medical liens reduced (but still paid so he would not end up owing money) which included tens of thousands of dollars of lien reductions allowing our client to move forward with his life. Best of all, our client had a complete medical recovery which was, of course, the biggest victory of all.

D.T. v. GEICO Insurance Company

How the Injury Book Authored by the Husband & Wife Law Team Protected a Future Client

Motorcycle Accident Case: Many years ago, The Husband & Wife Law Team, Alexis and Mark Breyer, undertook a significant project: to write a one-of-a-kind book, to regular people, so they could understand injury law to protect themselves either before or after an accident. One of the key discussions in that book is the importance of increasing the amount of uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage that is purchased in case somebody else causes an injury. Having read our book, an individual raised his underinsured motorist coverage. Months later he was involved in an incident where his niece was injured as a result of the negligence of another driver who did not have sufficient coverage. Because he had followed our advice and purchased more insurance his niece – who he sent to us for our guidance and help – therefore was able to not only collect the full insurance policy limits from the at-fault driver but also utilized the important underinsured coverage to make a big difference in her life. We are proud not only of achieving two policy limits settlements in one case for this deserving individual but also gratified to see that the information we are providing is helping people in a time of need.

R.K. vs. USAA and State Farm

Pedestrian Accident Case: A driver of a vehicle turned left and hit our client who was in the cross walk. Our client suffered a compound fracture to his right lower leg. Originally, our client owed well over $100,000 to many different medical providers – enough to drive many people to bankruptcy. However, in addition to fighting for the best settlement that could occur (every dollar of the insurance policy limits available in the case) we were able to win an agreement with the hospital for the hospital to accept $500 as full and final payment: even though the hospital was claiming it was actually owed $98,209.66.

In Desperate Need of Help

Catastrophic Motorcycle Accident Case: Our client was spending time in rehabilitation when his wife and daughter encouraged him to call The Husband & Wife Law Team. By the time his medical care was completed he owed $74,000.00 to medical providers. He not only had endured a long road to recovery when he was struck on his motorcycle by a negligent driver but he was also facing potential bankruptcy. However, in our office we never allow cases to resolve without fighting both for the best possible recovery but also to reduce the amount of liens that are owed. $74,000.00 in medical bills is an overwhelming amount of liens to owe. But by the time we were done negotiating with the lien holders and fighting for a settlement we were able to make a significant difference for our client and change his financial future by reducing the medical bills owed from over $74,000.00 down to just over $3,000.00! That, combined with our efforts to achieve an excellent settlement result allowed him to move forward with his life and, hopefully, give a big hug and thank you to his wife and daughter for encouraging him to trust our office along the way.

S.A. vs. Gainsco Insurance

Bike Accident Case: A driver of a vehicle failed to keep a proper lookout and ran into our client who was crossing the street on his bicycle. Unfortunately, the police officer found our client completely responsible since he did not cross the street at the crosswalk. Our client called multiple other lawyers, all of whom said the case could not be won. Finally, our client heard of our efforts and successes and contacted us. Not only did our involvement change the outcome, we were able to persuade the insurance company to pay out every dollar of the available policy limits for its driver that ran into our client.

J.D. vs. State Farm Insurance

Motorcycle Accident Case: This case involved a young man on a motorcycle. Determining who was at fault was complicated. The insurance company pointed to some witnesses it had that said its insured was not responsible and pointing the blame towards our client. Undeterred, pointed to the observations of another witness that was much more favorable to our client’s position that their insured was at fault. Our client was seriously injured and incurred a hospital bill of almost $200,000. Unfortunately, our client had no health insurance at all. We were able to convince the insurance company to pay policy limits and the hospital reduced the amount our client owed to under $10,000. Liability disputes require injury attorneys who have the experience necessary and the trial victories to prove that they are willing and able to prove the truth of what occurred on behalf of their clients.

R.K. v. State Farm

R.K. v. USAA

Catastrophic Injury Case: Our client was involved in a serious car accident in Sun City West that resulted in him being in the trauma center for 30 days. He had multiple fractures in his leg. He searched for a lawyer because he knew he needed help. At first, he was not sure what lawyer he wanted to hire. He received a copy of our Arizona Accident Book and decided to choose us as his attorneys. We were able to secure a policy limits offer from all insurance companies involved. In Arizona, many car accident victims are not aware that the health insurance company may have a right to reimbursement. We were able to negotiate this reimbursement bill down to half by applying different legal case research. In addition to health insurance, our client also had Medicare which can be difficult to work with in an Arizona car accident case. We were able to work everything out with Medicare and our client received a significant amount of money. Last time we talk to him he told us, "You guys did great work."

He tried to swerve to avoid the car accident but could not get out of the way due to a lot of traffic. He remained at the Flagstaff Medical Center for two weeks. He had multiple fractures. At first, he tried to handle his case on his own but it became complicated because there were multiple insurance companies involved and he was getting different lien letters from the hospital and other medical providers. He was referred to us by a former client. We were able to arrange to meet him and immediately began working on his case. We were able to secure policy limits from all insurance companies and did different case research because one of the companies was denying payment.

Pedestrian Accident Case: D.B. was at the gas station with her son. She was walking away from the cashier at a gas station when she was hit by a car.  Our client was pinned under the tire and broke her hip.  She was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and had immediate surgery requiring rods, screws and pins to fix her hip. Her daughter searched on the internet for an attorney and although at first she was weary to hire an attorney, she met with us and was confident we could do a good job. The insurance company initially offered half of policy limits but we stayed stern on accepting only the entire amount of the policy limits. After discussing the case at length and receiving a favorable permanent impairment rating from a medical provider, the insurance company agreed to tender policy limits.

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

Auto Accident Case: 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.

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.

We went over all the different scenarios of his claim. Our client is now moving to California and we were able to help him sell his house by setting him up with a realtor and tying up some loose ends. Although we do not like repeat clients because it means a former client was injured again, there is nothing more gratifying as owners of a law office to have former clients call us to help them again.

The R Family v. Fidelity National Insurance Company

Dog Bite Injury Case: 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.

Motorcycle Accident Case: 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.

Wrongful Death Case: 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.

Arizona Injury Victims, Represented by "Arizona's Husband & Wife Law Team" Get Their Day In Court and a Win From The Jury After Much Delay By The Insurance Company

Rear-Ended Case: After delay, delay, and more delay, injury victims finally receive jury verdict in their favor, against insurance company's driver

On August 29, 2005 Christie Webb and Darryl Webb were traveling down the I-17 when they were rear-ended by another driver. It took almost four full years, but a jury has just entered a verdict in their favor. Although most cases do not take this long to get to jury trial, for those cases that do take longer to resolve, it is the clients and lawyers determination must be applauded. This case is not just an example of two people willing to fight through long delays that only benefit insurance companies at the expense of real people. This case is also an example of clients who were willing to hold-on as long as needed for justice with lawyers at their side willing to fight as well for as long as it took to win. It is unfortunate that the system can allow such extreme delay, but this verdict stands as a reminder of the importance a good legal team still plays for the injured in Arizona.

In this case, the defendant driver rear-ended Mr. and Mrs. Webb's vehicle. Instead of readily admitting to fault, the driver tried to pay bystanders to testify that he was cut off by a phantom vehicle. The bystanders told police that the Defendant tried to bribe them with money to give him an alibi. Did the jury ever hear these facts? No. In Arizona, if a Defendant admits to liability the law usually allows an at-fault Defendant to keep these damning facts from the jury. Even without this evidence, the jury gave the Webbs their long sought-after victory. Sure, awaiting a day in court can be tough, but the Webbs were happy and it was all worth it in the end.

One of the most interesting parts of the trial occurred when one of the jurors questioned the Judge as to why it took so long to get the case in front of a jury. The Judge could not answer this juror's questions as Arizona rules of evidence do not allow the Judge to answer this type of question regarding Arizona's legal system. Attorney Mark Breyer, the renowned Phoenix personal injury lawyer, was asked about this unusual moment in this case. He explained, "The Judge made the right decision in not answering the question. Not because the question is unimportant, but the rules of evidence do not allow the jury to hear the truth. The truth is that delay is almost always to the benefit of insurance companies, because many innocently injured people that we represent at The Husband & Wife Law Team simply quit fighting and are unwilling to take a case to trial after such a long wait. These clients should be commended not just for receiving the verdict in their favor, but in being willing to continue to fight for what was right. Most cases simply do not take this long. When they do, it is a great feeling to be able to see justice done."

What extreme will defendants in personal injury cases go to in order to avoid paying the compensation required under Arizona personal injury law? According to attorney Alexis Breyer, the wife in "Arizona's Husband & Wife Law Team" that represented the Webb family, "The case originally was arbitrated in front of an impartial party where an award came down for the Plaintiffs as well. Rather than paying that award the insurance company chose to appeal it and go to trial. It took 2 years to get to a jury trial where again there was a finding for the Plaintiffs. The law gives the insurance company an opportunity to appeal yet again and further avoid payment. In sticking by our clients we will continue to fight for justice."

For their part, although it was a long wait, Mr. and Mrs. Webb are very happy with the verdict. They certainly earned it.
