In the summer of 2018, a Bronx driver was struck by a negligent driver conducting an illegal U-turn. She sustained right hand fractures that required multiple surgeries. Pryor Law settled with the negligent driver for the full insurance policy without filing suit for the full limit of his $25,000 insurance policy. However, this plaintiff had the foresight to attain Supplemental Uninsured Motorist (SUM) coverage on her vehicle up to $300,000. This is a great example of why motorists should attain SUM coverage on their vehicles. SUM coverage kicks in when motorists sustain injuries that are greater than what a negligent driver’s coverage provides for. In this case, Pryor Law was able to file a claim against the Bronx Plaintiff’s SUM coverage, and litigated insurance coverage issues successfully for an additional $255,000. In total, Pryor Law was able to recover $280,000 for this plaintiff out of the maximum possible recovery of $300,000.
