Fuicelli & Lee, P.C. recently obtained a significant partial settlement for a client who was shot while driving his vehicle on I-25. Many people, including many attorneys, are not aware that uninsured motorist coverage can apply to situations like a vehicle to vehicle shooting. This exact situation occurred to one of Fuicelli & Lee, P.C’s clients. The two insurance companies involved agreed to a partial settlement of $125,000. The case is still open while the parties wait to see the nature and extent of the client’s injuries.
On June 8, 2008, Kris K. was driving his car on Colorado Highway 119. He was struck from behind by a drunk driver driving approximately 90 miles an hour. Due to this crash, Kris suffered significant injuries to his back. After investigating the accident, the lawyers at Fuicelli & Lee, P.C. determined there were two insurance policies that would provide coverage to the drunk driver. Faced with the serious injuries to the client, coupled with the aggravated liability of the crash, both insurance companies agree to pay their policy limits for a total of $125,000.
You can often learn as much about a firm from the way it handles smaller cases as you can from the larger ones. This is one such example. On February 9, 2009, Keith Fuicelli tried the matter of Cortez v. Moran. Mr. Cortez was rear ended at a slow speed. He felt a pop in his back and, on the advice of the investigating officer, went to the emergency room in an ambulance. After that, he sought some conservative chiropractic care.
Because Mr. Cortez's vehicle suffered only minor damage, the insurance company for the person who rear-ended Mr. Cortez only offered $250 to settle his case. What is surprising about this low offer is that Mr. Cortez's total medical expenses were over $9,000.00. Due to this ridiculously low offer, Fuicelli & Lee filed suit against the at-fault driver in County Court. After a one day trial, Mr. Cortez received a verdict that with costs and interest exceeding $15,000.00.
