Cleveland, Ohio - The Piscitelli Law Firm successfully secured a $300,000 total recovery for a 78-year-old individual who sustained injuries in a 50 mph T-bone collision.
After the driver responsible for the accident provided Ohio's $25,000 minimum coverage, the firm sought to access the client's $300,000 underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage.
The injuries suffered by the client included resolved soft-tissue trauma and radial tunnel syndrome - a painful condition caused by compression of the radial nerve in the upper forearm, leading to symptoms such as aching, grip weakness, and discomfort during rotation.
The UIM insurance provider initially proposed a settlement of $70,000.
The firm subsequently initiated legal action for $275,000 (the UIM limit, adjusted for the $25,000 setoff).
After several months of legal proceedings, the insurer ultimately paid the full $275,000, resulting in a total recovery of $300,000.
"UIM coverage is designed to ensure that individuals are compensated when the at-fault driver is underinsured," stated Frank Piscitelli, Jr.
"When the insurance company undervalued our client's claim, we took legal action-and successfully recovered the complete policy benefits."
