While driving on a spring day in Summit County, our client was struck head-on by an uninsured drunk driver. The collision left the client with internal bleeding, multiple fractures, and ongoing sleep issues, along with bruises, abrasions, and lasting trauma.
When the insurance company encouraged the client to settle the claim without an attorney, they reached out to Slater & Zurz instead. We identified a potential bad-faith claim and took the case to mediation, ultimately negotiating a $217,500 settlement, which was nearly double the insurer’s initial offer.
