The Eberst Law Firm has secured a $550,000 verdict for a client in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our client, a retired Navy Seal, was seriously injured after they were involved in a car accident. The defendant in this case did not have auto insurance and was therefore driving illegally. In these situations, it’s important to have uninsured motorist coverage (UM). Uninsured coverage is a type of auto insurance in which your own insurance company will pay for your damages in situations where the other driver either has no insurance or does not have enough coverage.
Luckily, our client had UM coverage. However, their own insurance company decided that they were not going to pay for his injuries and instead opted to take the case to trial.
Before the trial, the offer from the insurance carrier was $0.
After taking the case to court and proving our client’s damages, the jury came back with a verdict in favor of our client. They awarded him $550,000 for the damages related to his car accident.
“This case is a great example of how important it is to have uninsured motorists coverage on your policy. If you find yourself injured and the other driver either has low coverage or no coverage, you will be happy you have it,” said lawyer Jon Eberst. “Our client is very pleased with the outcome of this case. What really matter is that our client can get the help they need without having a ton of debt.”
