In a recent settlement, personal injury Attorney Brian Walsh of the DLP law firm secured an award of the insurance policy limits ($300,000.00) for an injured motorist who had initially agreed to settle the case for $3,000.00.

Plaintiff, a 19 year old male, was injured in a motor vehicle accident.

Within a week of the accident, a representative from the defendant’s insurance company met with the plaintiff, who had not yet secured legal representation. The insurance representative convinced the plaintiff to sign a release settling the case for a sum of $3,000.00. The plaintiff then contacted the DLP law firm. DLP was able to void the release and ultimately settled the case for $300,000.00.

“It’s important to know your rights and not sell your claim short” commented DLP’s Brian Walsh, who represented the plaintiff and was able to secure the applicable policy limits in the case. “This gentleman thought he was getting a fair shake when he met with the adjuster. In reality, he wasn’t. Fortunately, he came to us and we were able to void the release. The settlement we were able to secure for him is fair compensation for the injuries he suffered. The moral of the story- obtain legal counsel early”, Attorney Walsh added.
