Drunk Driving Case
Client compensated $100,000.00 policy limits offer by Progressive Insurance in a drunk driving accident.
Lisa was the restrained driver of a mid sized suv, traveling eastbound on Colfax Avenue approaching Pearl Street. The Defendant, driving his car while under the influence of alcohol, was traveling northbound on Pearl Street at a high rate of speed. At the intersection of Pearl Street and Colfax Avenue there is a stoplight. The Defendant ran the stop light at the intersection of Pearl Street and Colfax Avenue and slammed into Lisa’s vehicle. The significant force of the collision caused Lisa’s vehicle to smash into the back of a parked pick-up truck before rolling 1 to 2 times. Lisa’s vehicle came to rest on its roof and Lisa, who was 23 weeks pregnant, hung suspended by her seat belt. The roof of her vehicle was so crushed in that once Lisa was able to free herself from the seatbelt she had to crawl out of one of the passenger side windows. As a result of the Defendant driver’s negligence, Lisa sustained significant injuries. Fortunately, the baby was fine and was born at full term.
After Lisa's medical condition stabilized, Scott O’Sullivan, The O’Sullivan Law Firm’s founding personal injury lawyer, submitted a settlement demand letter to Progressive Insurance, the Defendant’s insurance company. Progressive Insurance, originally tried to claim that Lisa was not that hurt and that her claim was worth less than the policy limits. The case settled for policy limits soon after Mr. O’Sullivan forwarded a draft copy of the complaint to Progressive Insurance.
