Low Impact Collision Results in Six Figure Settlement
March 15, 2010 @ 05:30 PM — by info
A 39 year old man contacted The Dunnion Law Firm after being in an accident on May 26, 2008. The insurance carrier told the man he could not have been hurt in the accident because the amount of damage to the vehicle was less than $1,00.00. The repair estimate for the damage to the vehicle was $673.05.
The man had prior neck and back injuries, according to medical records. The insurance company argued the injuries sustained were not from the accident, but rather, a result of pre-existing conditions the man had at the time of the accident.
Suit was filed on March 10, 2009, followed by extensive discovery including numerous depositions of the doctors and other parties involved. The insurance company hired an accident reconstructionist to investigate the accident, a biomechanical expert to argue the forces involved in the collision could not have caused injury, and a doctor to testify the injuries could not been caused as a result of the accident. The insurance carrier continued to deny the claim and refused to make any offer of settlement.
The Dunnion Law Firm would not take no for an answer from the insurance carrier. As the matter was being prepared for trial, the insurance carrier finally came to realize that the plaintiff and The Dunnion Law Firm were going to fight to the end in order to force a full and fair settlement of the case. Fifty five days before trial was scheduled to begin, on February 16, 2010, and nearly two tars since the date of the accident, the carrier made its first offer. Within two weeks after that initial offer and after hours of negotiations with the defense attorney and the insurance adjuster, the matter, which had been initially denied settled for $155,000.00.
Property Owner Held Liable for Injuries Caused by Renters Dog
March 15, 2010 @ 04:25 PM — by info
The client, a 42 year old construction worker, contacted The Dunnion Law Firm after being bitten on the right forearm by a dog owned by a long time acquaintance. The attack took place at the dog owner’s residence, which was located on property owned by the dog owner’s employer. The dog owner had no insurance and the property owner denied any responsibility, refusing to even identify the property’s insurance carrier to the client.
The initial investigation by The Dunnion Law Firm showed that the property owner was responsible. This same dog had previously bitten an employee of the property owner and the property owner still allowed the dog to remain on the property.
The client recovered from the injuries and returned to work doing construction without limitations. The attack did leave scars on the right forearm and the client developed an infection that required the doctor to remove an abscess to prevent further infection. All of the client’s medical bills were paid by his health insurance.
The property owner eventually turned the claim over to his insurance carrier after threat of suit by The Dunnion Law Firm. The insurance carrier initially denied the claim, saying the property owner was not responsible for his tenant’s dog. After lengthy negotiations, the insurance carrier retained counsel and after several months agreed that the property owner did have some responsibility as he had prior knowledge of at least one other attack by this same dog.
Even though the carrier admitted the property owner had some responsibility, they made numerous legal arguments to try and avoid paying out on the claim. After several months of negotiations, the carrier agreed to mediation. At the mediation, the carrier was forced to admit responsibility and after a 5 hour mediation session, the matter was settled for $63,000.00.

Our Client, a 40 year old mother of two and school district employee, contacted The Dunnion Law Firm after being in a head-on car accident on December 11, 2007.
