Rear-end auto accident results in $1 million policy limit recovery for Washington woman

In Newcastle, Washington, GL was driving her SUV on Coal Creek Parkway when she was rear-ended by another vehicle. The car accident seriously injured GL and emergency bladder surgery was required. A reconstructive pelvic floor operation was also needed due to vaginal prolapse. A policy limiting demand was made around three years after GL’s car accident. The policy limits were tendered after we filed a lawsuit that alleged violations of Washington’s Insurance Fair Conduct Act. As a result, GL recovered a total of $1 million.
