Greenberg and Ruby Injury Attorneys obtained confidential settlements for a client who suffered orthopedic injuries in an accident in Santa Cruz County.

A major challenge in the case was the limited insurance available from the at-fault driver. The driver carried only a minimum insurance policy, which could have significantly limited the amount our client was able to recover.

Rather than treating the at-fault driver's policy as the only potential source of compensation, our attorneys investigated the circumstances of the case and identified multiple defendants who could potentially be held responsible for our client's injuries. By pursuing these additional sources of liability, we were able to maximize the settlements obtained for our client.

The total settlement amount is confidential.

Identifying All Potentially Responsible Parties

Cases involving seriously injured people can become particularly difficult when the person who caused the accident has minimal insurance coverage. Even when liability is clear, the available policy may be nowhere near enough to fairly compensate the injured person.

That makes it important to investigate whether other individuals or entities may share responsibility. Depending on the facts of a case, there may be sources of recovery that are not immediately apparent.

In this case, Greenberg and Ruby Injury Attorneys identified and pursued multiple defendants rather than limiting the claim to the at-fault driver's minimum insurance policy. This approach ultimately allowed us to maximize the settlements available to our client.
