Despite his own insurance company, Allstate, initially offering only a minimal amount, the legal team at Russell & Lazarus, led by attorney Stephen Counts, persisted and ultimately obtained the full policy limit settlement shortly before arbitration. This settlement will enable Robert to re-train and further his education in a less physically demanding field, considering his limited ability to return to work due to his injuries.

Challenge
The Orange County truck accident lawyers Russell & Lazarus obtained a $1 million policy limit settlement on behalf of their client, Robert De La Huerta, a 27-year-old father of one who was involved in a truck accident while on the job.
The other driver rear-ended Robert, and he suffered severe injuries to his low back, requiring surgery. However, his own insurance company, Allstate, refused to offer any more than $25,000 for 2 ½ years.
Solution
Just a few weeks before arbitration, attorney Stephen Counts and the litigation team at Russell & Lazarus were successful in obtaining payment of the full $1,000,000 policy limit.
“Mr. De La Huerta’s ability to go back to work has limitations due to his physical constraints. So this settlement will enable him to re-train. It will also allow him to further his education in a new field less physically demanding,” stated attorney Counts.

SETTLEMENT AMOUNT: $1,000,000
