The case underscores the value of direct attorney access and active litigation posture—even when insurers attempt to undervalue legitimate injury claims. ### The Narrative ## Problem: Undervalued Claim and Early Lowball Offer Our client was injured in a Las Vegas motor vehicle collision caused by another driver’s negligence. Despite clear liability and documented medical treatment, State Farm initially attempted to resolve the claim for just $24,780, an amount that failed to account for the full scope of medical expenses, future care needs, and quality-of-life impact . Like many injury victims, the client faced pressure to accept an early offer before the long-term consequences of the injuries were fully understood. ### Action: Attorney-Led Negotiation with Direct Client Access Shook & Stone rejected the initial offer and took control of the claim. Our attorneys: - Prepared and submitted a comprehensive tort demand package - Documented medical specials, future treatment projections, and functional limitations - Leveraged clear liability and damages evidence to push the carrier off its low valuation - Maintained direct attorney access, ensuring the client could speak with counsel whenever needed This was not a volume-driven settlement—it was hands-on legal advocacy. Result: $37,499 Final Settlement Following sustained negotiation, State Farm issued a final bodily injury payment of $38,499, representing a significant increase over the original offer and delivering fair compensation for the injuries sustained . Just as important, the client remained informed and supported throughout the process. ### Client Review – Direct Attorney Access “If I ever needed anything I had direct access to my attorney.
