JOHN DOE Receives Seven Figure Settlement - $611,710

On May 17, 2006, John Doe was injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident when his vehicle was rear-ended on Jupiter Boulevard in Palm Bay, Florida. The owner and driver of the vehicle that rear-ended Mr. Doe had minimal bodily injury liability coverage of $10,000.00 which was paid in July 2007. Mr. Doe had under insured motorist coverage through the XYZ Insurance Company in the amount of $15,000.00. A settlement offer was made to the XYZ Insurance Company on August 22, 2007 offering to settle the underinsured motorist claim for the available limits of $15,000.00. Unfortunately, the XYZ Insurance Company did not fairly evaluate Mr. Doe’s claim and offered $3,000.00. A Civil Remedy Notice was filed with the Florida Department of Insurance with a copy to the XYZ Insurance Company putting them on notice that Mr. Doe had offered to settle his claim with the XYZ Insurance Company for the available coverage and that the XYZ Insurance Company had acted in bad faith by not fairly evaluating and compensating Mr. Doe for the injuries that he sustained in the accident.
