Litigation News January 2018

This month in litigation news at Portner & Shure, we have an accident case where our client had the right-of-way and the defendant made a left turn into our client's vehicle. The impact left our client with significant pain to his shoulder, back, neck, and left leg. As liability was never accepted by the defendant's insurance company, we had no choice but to put the case into litigation. Before going to trial, there were no settlement offers on the case, after going to trial we received a verdict of $5,338.00 plus court costs. Needless to say, our client was very pleased that he had Portner & Shure on his side.

Recent Case Results November 2017

Earlier this month, our litigation manager was able to settle a case that was court bound by getting the insurance company to increase their offer. Our client was involved in an accident where the defendant ran a stop sign, t-boned her, and one other person. The insurance company was claiming minimal property damage and they didn’t see her case being worth more than $4,000.00. After our litigation manager got involved and threatened to file suit, the insurance company agreed to raise their offer by $1,500.00. Our client was very pleased with her final offer and her experience with our firm.
