Tenacious Representation Recovers Benefits for Victim, $101,547 Recovery

Settlement/Verdict: $101,547.00

Attorney: Cory P. Whalen
Practice Area: Car Accident
Client Injury: Back Injury

Our client was rear-ended in a multi-vehicle accident. Initially the at fault vehicle’s insurer disputed liability for the accident, claiming our client had stopped suddenly and contributed to the accident. Our client received back injuries as a result of this accident and underwent back surgery for the condition.

Cory Whalen settled a claim against the at fault driver for their policy limits. He then made a claim against our client’s underinsured motorist coverage; they initially denied the claim stating that our client’s symptoms were pre-existing and not resulting from the accident. Cory Whalen obtained opinions from our client’s treating physician and eventually settled the underinsured motorist claim for the full policy limits. He also filed two arbitrations against our client’s insurer for no fault benefits that they refused to pay and was awarded the full benefits on both. The total recovery obtained by Cory Whalen for our client was $101,547; amounts that would not have been recovered by our client without legal representation.
