Marshall MO family recovers proceeds from multiple insurance policies

Lear Werts LLP represented the family of a young woman who tragically died from injuries she sustained in a car crash when the driver of the car lost control and the vehicle struck a tree.

Wrongful death car crash case

In this case, there were issues over what insurance policy provided coverage for the car accident.  Ultimately, Lear Werts was able to recover from both the insurance company of the driver and the car dealership that owned the car.  This case required the attorneys in our law firm to file a wrongful death lawsuit in the Saline County Circuit Court in Marshall, Missouri.  The case was transferred to the Lafayette County Circuit Court in Lexington, Missouri.  The case was resolved for a policy-limit settlement prior to trial.

Our law firm also defended a declaratory judgment action filed by the driver’s insurance company.  That insurance company had denied that the car insurance policy they had issued provided coverage.  That case was negotiated to a settlement after trial.
