The firm represented the Mathews who were subject to a $13.8 million dollar judgment resulting from a tragic car accident that left the injured victim a paraplegic. Kelly Matthews and the injured victim were close friends and college roommates at the time of the accident some eight years earlier, but had not spoken since. The firm, brought a bad faith action against Mathews’ automobile insurer, Auto-Owners, alleging their bad faith claims handling caused them to be exposed to the multi-million dollar judgment. The firm successfully negotiated a confidential settlement with Auto-Owners, the result of which generated funding for the lifetime of medical care required by the injured victim and also satisfied the judgment against our clients. This settlement also served as the basis for satisfying a several hundred thousand dollar restitution order entered against Kelly Mathews, now clearing the way for Kelly to obtain her nursing license, and reestablished a severed relationship for old friends.
