Attorneys M. Blake Heath and Brice C. Barnard secured $250,000.00 in total settlements for a young passenger from Overland Park, Kansas, who was seriously injured in a highway crash near Eudora.
The victim was riding with friends towards the Kansas City metro area in the early morning hours when their vehicle struck another car that was stopped in the roadway after a prior rear-end accident. The collision occurred at high-speed, leaving the victim with a broken arm and fractured vertebrae. It was later discovered that the driver of the stopped vehicle did not have insurance.
To maximize recovery, our firm pursued compensation for the victim under multiple insurance policies:
- Policy limits settlement against the driver of our client’s vehicle;
- Policy limits settlement for Uninsured Motorist coverage with the driver’s insurance carrier, due to the stopped driver’s fault and lack of insurance; and
- Policy limits settlement for Uninsured Motorist coverage with our client’s own insurance carrier after other coverage was exhausted.
In total, Mr. Heath and Mr. Barnard were able to obtain settlements for the victim in the amount of $250,000.00, ensuring he was fully compensated despite the challenges of uninsured drivers.
