Case Results

An intoxicated driver hit the client’s vehicle from the rear while on the interstate. The client was badly shaken, but fortunately, did not sustain significant injuries. The client went to his family doctor a couple of days following the incident and had limited physical therapy. The investigation into the background of the other driver revealed that this had been his first offense as an intoxicated driver. After prolonged negotiations with the insurance company, Mr. Henningsen was able to resolve the claim for $25,000.00.

Mr. Henningsen’s client was alleged to have shoplifted from a major retailer. The retailer’s security assaulted the client and sent him to the emergency room where he was checked out and released. Fortunately, the client did not require any further medical treatment. It turned out that the security officers were mistaken about the shoplifting and the case quickly settled for $17,000.00.

The client was on her way home when a drunk driver ran into her vehicle. In an effort to avoid personal responsibility, the drunk driver fled the scene. Although she was injured, the client was able to get his identifying information and fortunately the police were able to apprehend the drunk driver.

An investigation into the background of this drunk driver uncovered that this was not the first time that he had been involved with the law. After consultation with the client, Mr. Henningsen immediately filed a lawsuit and discovered that this drunk driver had seven previous convictions for drunk driving. Through diligent preparation, Mr. Henningsen was able to ensure that the client was justly compensated for what she had been through at the hands of this repeat offender. Upon learning of the drunk driver's extensive prior history, the insurance company offered the policy limits of its policy. Had it not been for the diligent investigation into all aspects of the claim, it was quite possible that the client may not have been fairly compensated.

A mother and her son were hit head on by an intoxicated driver. Due to the nature of the injuries sustained by the mother and her son, Mr. Henningsen was able to convince the insurance company to offer the maximum amount allowed under the policy. Fortunately, the mother and son have made a good recovery and are doing well.

A drunk driver hit the client’s vehicle and fled the scene. The drunk driver was later apprehended by police. The investigation revealed that the drunk driver is a repeat offender. Mr. Henningsen presented this information to the insurance company and they offer less than the maximum allowed under the insurance policy. We told them that the only way that the case would ever resolve is if they offered all of the limits of the policy covering their DUI driver. We filed a lawsuit and after uncovering more information about the DUI driver, the insurance company offered the limits of their policy.

A family was injured in a car wreck caused by a teenage driver with alcohol in the vehicle. Despite the fact that the police officer never conducted a field sobriety test on the teenage driver and never made an arrest in the matter, we were able to successfully convince the insurance company to offer their policy limits on the case.

Mr. Henningsen's client sustained modest injuries when a drunk driver pulled out in front of him and the two collided. The insurance company made an initial modest offer which Mr. Henningsen advised the client to decline. A lawsuit was ultimately filed and through the course of litigation, Mr. Henningsen was able to convince the insurance company to offer 96% of the limits of their drunk driver’s insurance policy.
