Attorney Brice C. Barnard obtained a $250,000.00 judgment on behalf of a Kansas woman who was injured when another driver attempted to make a left turn and pulled directly into the client’s path, causing a serious collision. The client suffered a traumatic brain injury in addition to injuries to her spine, ribs, right arm, and knee.
When the at-fault driver’s insurance company failed to offer fair compensation, litigation became necessary. Mr. Barnard joined the lawsuit as trial counsel after attorneys at Sanders.law filed suit and aggressively pursued the case through discovery.
Through careful trial preparation and advocacy, Mr. Barnard and attorney Joshua L. Baker exposed the at-fault driver’s insurance company to excess liability after they repeatedly refused to settle within the at-fault driver’s policy limits. The client ultimately obtained and accepted an offer of judgment for the $250,000.00 policy limits, providing meaningful compensation for her injuries, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
This result highlights the importance of accountability for negligent drivers and their insurance companies, and shows that injured victims can obtain justice even when insurers refuse to act reasonably until the eve of trial.
