Combined $80,000.00 policy limits allocated:
I recently had the pleasure of working with several wonderful Plaintiffs, all of whom had been seriously injured in a rather severe motor vehicle accident. Two (2) separate policies of insurance had been tendered which totaled $80,000.00. In addition, there were other sources of potential recovery in the form of underinsured motorist coverage. As counsel was confronted with a “conflict of interest” insofar as him proposing an allocation, I was tasked with allocating the funds in such a manner as to maximize each Plaintiff’s recovery in a fair manner given the injuries while also preserving the claims for underinsured motorist coverage. After reviewing the voluminous medical records and meeting with each Plaintiff, we were able to fairly and efficiently allocate the funds. It certainly helped that all of the Plaintiffs were wonderful people; I am thrilled they were not injured more severely injured in this very violent accident.
