THE POWER OF PERSONALIZATION AND CREATIVITY IN EVERY CASE

Our team recently achieved a significant victory for a client involved in a serious car accident near Cowpens, which is near Gaffney, South Carolina. Most importantly, despite their broken right foot, we obtained the settlement our client hoped for. The case’s success came down to two crucial factors: personalizing their unique situation and the creative use of visuals to depict the accident’s impact. On April 22, 2022, at about 1:42 in the afternoon, another driver pulled out in front of our client at an intersection. To protect himself, he took evasive action and swerved off the road into a steep ditch, where he collided with a tree. This crash may have seemed minimal to the casual observer, but looking at the photos our client provided of the incident, they tell a different story. The ditch he crashed into

was treacherous. I took it one step further and provided a Google Earth picture of the crash scene for the insurance adjuster to visually convey the ditch’s steepness. With this, the adjuster acknowledged the severity of the collision. I then dedicated myself to making the case about our client as an individual by digging deeper to reveal how his injuries significantly impacted his life. Before the accident, my client was active and athletic, and physical appearance was important to him. As a former football and basketball player and track athlete, he measured his self-worth by his physical prowess. In a demand letter to the insurance company, I illustrated how the resulting injuries impacted both his personal and professional lives as, for about a month, he was largely disabled and unable to attend networking events or to travel to meet clients. For months after, as my client tried to ease back into working out, he was in pain. Through tenacious negotiations, we secured a settlement of $50,000. I was thrilled when our client exclaimed, “That’s exactly what I wanted!”
