On July 13, 2003, Client was struck by a motor vehicle while she was riding her bicycle. She sustained a fracture of the left medial malleolus and a fracture to the left ankle, which required surgery. The case settled with the bodily injury carrier for the policy limit. Our law office pursued a claim against the under-insurance carrier seeking the policy limit because Client sustained a left knee injury, which also required surgery. The under-insurance carrier denied that the left knee injury was causally related to the car accident because the Client did not complaint of left knee pain until 15-months after the accident.
Case Results: The case was settled after arbitration.
