Our client sustained a back injury in a rear ender on Highway 12 in Sonoma County. We demanded the full amount of the defendant’s $100,000 State Farm Insurance policy. State Farm refused to pay it and finally offered her $50,000 on the eve of trial. We rejected the offer and took the case to trial. On July 7, 2008, a Sonoma County jury returned a verdict in the amount of $119,810 in favor of our client. Because the insurance company had refused to admit that its insured had caused our client’s injuries and because the insurance company had refused to pay our $100,000 demand, the judge later awarded attorney’s fees, costs and interest which brought the total recovery on behalf of our client to $187,419.01.
