$815,500K Recovered for a Brain-Injured Child After a Lengthy Legal Battle

In one of our most challenging and rewarding cases, we secured $815,500 for a young child who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. The child was injured while riding with her mother, and the initial insurance coverage available seemed woefully inadequate for the severity of her injuries. The at-fault driver carried only a $25,000 liability policy, and our client’s underinsured motorist policy provided just $50,000 in coverage—far from enough to cover the lifetime impact of the child’s injury.

However, we were determined to fight for justice. The insurance company refused to pay the underinsured motorist claim, but we didn’t back down. After taking the case to the Arkansas Supreme Court and winning, we secured not only the $50,000 policy but also attorney’s fees and a twelve percent penalty against the insurer. This victory was pivotal in holding the insurance company accountable.

But we didn’t stop there. We continued to pursue a bad faith claim against the insurance company, ultimately recovering hundreds of thousands more on behalf of the child and her family. After years of legal battles and relentless advocacy, what began as a case with just $75,000 in total insurance coverage resulted in an $815,500 recovery—a rare and extraordinary outcome.

This case exemplifies our firm’s unwavering commitment to justice, especially when insurance companies try to deny rightful claims. We fight tirelessly for our clients, no matter how long it takes, to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve. For this family, our persistence made a profound difference in their child’s future.
