Bill was being given a hard time by his own insurance company. He came to us saying that the adjuster was screaming at him and as nasty as can be. He tried to negotiate a fair settlement but could get nowhere. He was forced to get a lawyer. Lucky for him, he found the best Richmond, VA lawyer website and called Attorney Wayne O'Bryan. Wayne was able to talk to the adjuster and get bill twice as much money as Bill was offered before. While Bill's story is no indication of what might hapen in another accident injury case, it does show how getting a lawyer can help you in your negotiations.
Here is Bill's story in his own words:
My name is Bill. I was in a horrible car wreck on 95 south where I was injured and the person responsible was a drunk driver who exhausted all of her insurance. I ended up in the hospital with a head injury and back injury. I had to try and settle the claim through my underinsured motorist insurance portion (of my own insurance policy). They offered me a very minimal amount to cover my expenses. I incurred over $23,000 in medical expenses. The other insurance company could only cover $8,500. That was all of their insurance coverage and my underinsured coverage was supposed to pick up the difference. My underinsured motorist coverage was through USAA but unfortunately they only offered me an initital settlement of an additional $1,500. That was not even close to getting me whole. I renegotiated with them and got them to bring me up to $17,000 but still felt that it wasn't addressing my pain and suffering nor covering my full medical expenses. Therefore I went and got the help of (Richmond, VA lawyer) Wayne O'Bryan. (Attorney) Wayne O'Bryan did everything in his power to get me a fair and just settlement. He was able to more than double my USAA settlement to bring my closing to $35,000 from the initial $17,000 final offer that USAA gave me. I would recommend Wayne O'Bryan in a second to anyone that needs a good injury lawyer or personal (injury) attorney.
I was very happy USAA gave me a final offer of $17,000. They said no counteroffers would be done and no negotiation would be done, and we more than doubled that.
O'Bryan Law Firm was very nice. I was treated with great respect and there were no middle people to deal with, no hassle and no red-tape to go around before I got to meet with Wayne. Wayne was pretty up-front and frank. It was a great experience working with him. I did try a couple of other law firms around the area and I was not pleased with their procedures and I was not able to see any type of attorney or get through the middleman or red tape.
O'Bryan Law Firm thought it was a great opportunity for justice with me and was able to make a quick settlement. The settlement was received within two weeks of meeting with Wayne O'Bryan. So that was a tremendous goal and we accomplished everything that I set out to accomplish.
O'Byan Law Firm returned my phone calls right away. Every phone call went answered and they were very easy to get in touch with.
