$115,000 settlement of lawsuit for all available insurance from multiple insurance companies, for client with Limited Tort Insurance, from New Cumberland, PA. Our client was waiting for children to exit a school bus when he was rear ended by the at fault driver. As a result of this crash, he sustained an injury to his testicles that caused him pain when urinating. Even though our client’s injury was able to be medically resolved, by aggressively filing suit on his behalf and pursuing his right to compensation, Ostroff Law was able to overcome his Limited Tort insurance coverage and obtain this substantial recovery. No settlement offer was made by the insurer until this lawsuit was filed and pushed forward for our Cumberland County client.

$300,000 in total settlements of all available insurance from multiple insurance companies, for a Shirestown, Cumberland County client with Limited Tort insurance. Our client sustained significant upper and lower spine injuries, requiring surgical installation of a pain stimulator for the management of her pain.

$258,800 recovery that included $43,800 over all available insurance. Despite the fact that all available insurance from 3 separate companies totalled $215,000, Ostroff Law partner Rich Godshall was able to prove that one of the insurance carriers was responsible for acting in “bad faith” in its handling of this claim and violated the “Unfair Insurance Practices Act” under Pennsylvania law. As a result, after all available insurance was recovered, our Limited Tort client from Gettysburg received an additional $43,800 arbitration award, for a total recovery from all available insurance carriers of $258,800. This recovery that was well in excess of the applicable insurance coverage and was the result of extensive litigation and Ostroff Law’s successful outcome in proving “Bad Faith” insurance practices on the part of one of the insurers. Our Limited Tort client sustained knee and neck injuries in this rear end crash while he was stopped for traffic ahead of him on Route 581 in Camp Hill, Cumberland County, PA.
