Shook & Stone secured a combined $50,000 recovery for a father injured in a hit-and-run crash while protecting benefits for both him and his daughter. By coordinating third-party liability and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage, our attorneys forced Progressive to tender full policy limits—while maintaining constant, bilingual client communication from intake through resolution.
The Narrative
Problem: Hit-and-Run Collision, Family Impact, and Coverage Gaps
On August 4, 2025, our client was driving eastbound on Peace Way in Las Vegas when another driver ran a stop sign, caused a violent collision, and fled the scene. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police later located the vehicle and confirmed the at-fault driver’s responsibility.
The crash caused significant injuries requiring emergency transport, hospital care, diagnostic imaging, and follow-up treatment, with medical charges exceeding $42,000. The client’s vehicle was declared a total loss valued at $33,847.71. Beyond the physical injuries, the crash disrupted daily life for both the client and his daughter, creating immediate financial and emotional strain.
Action: Attorney-Led BI + UIM Integration
Shook & Stone moved quickly—responding to the client’s inquiry the same night, not the next day. Our team:
- Locked down liability using police findings and hit-and-run evidence
- Forced the at-fault carrier to tender BI policy limits
- Immediately pursued UIM coverage to close the compensation gap
- Coordinated lien reductions across multiple medical providers
- Maintained bilingual (Spanish-English) communication throughout the case
This was not a single-track claim. It was integrated coverage enforcement, ensuring no available insurance dollars were left on the table.
Result: $50,000 Total Recovery with Net-First Execution
Progressive tendered:
- $25,000 from the at-fault driver’s bodily injury policy
- $25,000 from the client’s UIM coverage
After attorney fees, costs, and successful medical lien reductions, the client received $23,104.66 net, providing real financial relief while avoiding prolonged litigation .
