$1.45 Million Motor Vehicle Accident Settlement

Raphaelson & Levine secured a $1.45 million settlement for a New York motorist who suffered serious injuries in a vehicle accident.

Injured in a New York Motor Vehicle Accident

A motor vehicle accident left our client with injuries that disrupted every aspect of daily life. The physical pain was compounded by mounting medical bills and the inability to work during an extended recovery period. What should have been a straightforward insurance claim quickly turned adversarial when the at-fault driver's carrier began disputing the extent of the injuries.

Faced with an insurer more interested in protecting its bottom line than compensating an injured person fairly, our client turned to Raphaelson & Levine for experienced legal representation.

Overcoming an Aggressive Insurance Defense

The defense strategy was predictable: minimize the injuries, question the treatment, and offer a fraction of what the case was worth. Our auto accident lawyers responded with comprehensive medical documentation, including imaging studies, surgical records, and physician testimony establishing that every procedure and course of treatment was directly caused by and necessary because of the accident.

Howard Raphaelson and Andrew Levine have spent decades fighting insurance companies that try to shortchange injured New Yorkers, and this case was no exception. When the carrier refused to negotiate in good faith, we prepared for trial — and that preparation is what ultimately brought them to the table with a fair offer.

$1.45 Million Motor Vehicle Accident Settlement

The $1.45 million settlement provides our client with full compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, and the pain and suffering caused by the accident.

"Insurance companies count on injured people accepting lowball offers because they're desperate for money. We don't let that happen. Our job is to make sure the settlement reflects the true cost of the harm — and $1.45 million does exactly that."
