While at an intersection, the bike turned over with our client, resulting in his death. We were able to negotiate and obtain policy limits for his widow. 2. Our client was a passenger in a horrific one-vehicle collision, wherein he was sent by medical helicopter to an area hospital and suffered a broken vertebrae, which required surgery. This client had medical bills in excess of the at-fault parties’insurance limits. We were able to obtain substantial reductions fromMedicare and his medical providers to increase our client’s net recovery. 3.
