Insurance Company’s Failure to Timely Investigate And Settle An Uninsured Motorist Claim

Outcome: Undisclosed Settlement

Our client was driving home from work when he was rear ended by an uninsured driver. Our client’s vehicle was totaled. He suffered a traumatic brain injury and was off of work for a considerable period of time. When our client reported the claim to his insurance company, the company gave him a “lowball” offer. We filed suit, alleging, among other things that the insurance company’s failure to timely and fairly investigate, evaluate, and settle this case was a bad faith. This case was resolved prior to trial.
