$800,000 Recovered, $80,000 Debt Forgiven.
Car Accident
Our client was in his second major car accident within 2 years. His first attorney in California stole his settlement from the first accident, so he was hesitant to hire another attorney. Before he came to us, the insurance offered him less than $250,000. Not only did we collect $60,000 on his first accident that his California attorney missed, but we tripled the settlement on the second accident. Then we got all of his medical debt forgiven.

Pedestrian in a Parking Lot
Our client was run over by a truck, breaking her hip and arm.
$235,000 Recovered, $72,000 Debt Forgiven.
Car Accident
Our client was 80 years old and had a lifetime of pre-existing injuries. Just prior to the accident, our client had scheduled his appointment with a back specialist to address his chronic pain. The accident exacerbated his back and injured his shoulder. The insurance told him his injuries were not covered. Then he came to us.
$225,000 Recovered, 100,000 Forgiven.
Car Accidents
Our client was T-boned by an uninsured driver. She called 4 other Anchorage personal injury attorneys desperate for help because she had mounting medical debt and no way to pay it off. Of those 4 attorneys, 3 told her they wouldn’t take her case and the 4th one that finally did fire her as a client because he couldn’t win her case. Not only did we win, but we collected 2 policies that she wasn’t even aware of, that helped pay for her injuries. Then we saved her another $100,000 when we negotiated her medical debt. The most frustrating part of this case was when the 4th attorney, who fired her, placed an illegal lien on her claim that we resolved. Some attorneys just don’t know how to treat people properly.

Car Accidents
Our client had been restricted to a walker and wheelchair for the prior 10 years. When the accident worsened her pre-existing conditions, the insurance company tried to deny her claim. We wouldn’t let them. After collecting 2 full insurance policies, our job was not done. We worked hard to get her medical debt forgiven. As part of her settlement, we literally bought her a house. It was the first home she ever owned. That’s a feeling we will never forget. The last time we spoke with our client, she had just come back from a walk on the beach! Turns out the surgeries following the car accident actually fixed most of her pre-existing conditions. She feels better now that she has in 10 years.

Client Hit By Driver Running A Red Light
Our client, so sweet, did not deserve anything she was put through. The first attorney she hired sat on the case for almost 2 years, then she hired us. She was hit by a man who ran a red light, and suffered a serious injury. The guy then lied and said the light was “yellow”. Even after we proved he ran a red light, the guy’s attorney continued to let him lie. That same attorney laughed and said we wouldn’t get $50,000. She wasn’t laughing anymore when we settled the case for 3 times that amount and obtained an additional $70,000 in debt forgiveness.

Shoulder & Arm Surgery
Shoulder surgery is horrible. It’s even worse when during surgery the doctor discovers that its not just the shoulder, but also the bicep that needs to be repaired. Even though our client did nothing to cause the accident, she suffered through months of physical therapy rehabing her arm.

Car Accident Resulting in Back Pain
Can you image going through serious spinal surgery? How about getting hit by another car 3 months after that surgery? The insurance tried to tell our client that his back injury was a pre-existing condition from his prior surgery. We told the insurance that they don’t get to put a man back into the hospital without paying for it. They listened, and they paid.
$117,000 Recovered, $25,000 Forgiven.
Slip And Fall At A Local Restaurant
While our client was dining at a local restaurant, she stepped off her bar stool and onto slick wet tile. She fell and suffered severe injuries to her arm that required emergency surgery. This case is unique in that before hiring our firm the insurance company told our client that it would not pay for her injuries. After hiring us, the insurance company changed its tune and settled the case for exactly what we told them to.
$115,000 Recovered, $20,000 Forgiven.
Car Accident Resulting in Shoulder Surgery
If being in an accident isn’t bad enough, our client sustained a separated shoulder that needed surgery. He spent 6 weeks in a sling, before starting months of rehabilitation. After collecting two insurance policy limits, we went to work reducing his medical bills, saving him another $20,000.

Bicycle Accident
Our young client was hit by a car whose driver was texting.
Confidential Settlement
Wrongful Death
Our client’s mother pursued a claim against another family for failing to properly secure a firearm that resulted in the accidental death of her daughter. Despite clear liability, the insurance argued that the daughter had committed suicide and tried to void the insurance policy. Remember, the insurance has one job, to try to pay as little money as they can. In this backwards world of insurance, the insurance company actually sued the mother to stop her from suing them. The insurance lost, and it paid.
