Two Accidents, Two Years Apart
Arnold “AJ” MacEachern
After being rear ended in 2017, AJ suffered from neck, back, and hip pain. He enlisted The Advocates to assist with recovering medical expenses along with general damages resulting from the negative impact the injuries had on his life.
The firm secured a favorable settlement and AJ was able to move on.
In 2019, AJ was once again rear ended while stopped at a red light, this time suffering injuries to his back, neck, and right arm. In addition to the injuries, AJ was experiencing headaches and loss of sleep.
Placing Trust in The Advocates
No one wants to be a repeat client with a personal injury firm, but knowing the team had treated him well in the past, AJ once again enlisted the help of The Advocates.
Because there was no significant damage to his vehicle, the insurance company made every attempt to minimize the impact the accident had on AJ’s life and avoid offering fair compensation. The insurance company continued to push an offer of $24,000, with AJ and his attorney expecting significantly more to make things right.
Trial Prep Forces Resolution
Just days before trial was set to begin, the insurance company came back with an offer of $45,500, which AJ accepted. The willingness to aggressively fight for a favorable outcome allowed him to ultimately resolve his case for nearly double what was previously on the table.
As is frequently the case, the insurance company failed to provide a reasonable offer until it was clear the firm and the client were not going to back down.
