Husband and wife were driving/riding on a motorcycle and were involved in a collision with a car; wife sustained fatal injuries. Through a series of additional very unfortunate events, not all of wife’s medical bills were timely billed to her insurance company for payment. The at-fault driver of the car only had $50,000.00 in insurance to cover wife’s damages. Wife’s unpaid medical bills were approximately $90,000.00 and the insurance company that paid the bills that were timely submitted had a subrogated interest of approximately $50,000.00. Any recovery for wife’s estate seemed dim. I was able to get the entire $90,000.00 written off and the $50,000.00 was compromised to $10,000.00. The wife’s survivors were tearfully grateful for the recovery and compromises obtained. This result will forever be with me as a case where I made a big difference for my client. Stephen Muhonen
