Turning a $250K Lowball Offer Into a $1.25 Million Settlement

Reading Time: 2 Minutes

Our client was driving on the 405 Freeway when the car behind him suddenly hit his vehicle. A third vehicle was also involved in the collision, but that driver fled the scene.

The rear-end accident had a profound impact on our client. It worsened pre-existing neck and back conditions, causing lumbar disc herniations and chronic pain in his neck, shoulders, and upper back. He attended chiropractic sessions, worked closely with pain management specialists, and ultimately required lumbar disc replacement surgery.

Through dedicated physical therapy, he gradually regained strength and mobility, but the road to recovery was a long and challenging journey.

Maximum $1.25M Settlement Secured: No Trial Needed

Despite the severity of his injuries and the impact on his life, the insurance company initially offered only $250,000, which barely accounted for his medical care and pain and suffering. At DK Law, we knew our client deserved much more.

Our team prepared a compelling case, demonstrating the long-term effects of his injuries and the challenges he faced during recovery. Through strategic negotiation and advocacy, Matt Taylor secured a settlement of $1.25 million—five times the original offer, without having to go to trial.
