$1,560,000 - Underinsured Motorist Policy Limits Settlement in 3 Months!

The plaintiff, a 74-year-old female, was involved in a 4-car crash on an Indiana highway after a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction was rear-ended while stopped waiting to turn left and thrust into plaintiff’s lane of traffic. The plaintiff struck the vehicle that was in her lane head on and suffered a fractured spine, fractured ribs, and a broken ankle. This collision was reported on local news channels and local newspapers. This matter was settled for the policy limits of the adverse driver’s insurance coverage and the policy limits of the plaintiff’s underinsured motorist coverage within three months after our law firm was retained and before any lawsuit was filed.

Congratulations to Regina Etherton for being selected again, for the 14th year, as a Super Lawyer for Plaintiff's Personal Injury in Illinois. This is a peer-nominated and approved honor! Many thanks to our law firm's clients and peers for bestowing upon her this honor!

The CBA-CLE webinar that Regina P. Etherton moderated and spoke at last week was a huge success! She is looking forward to doing more!

The CLE event, titled “How to Attract and Retain Clients,” was held Thursday, February 16, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. and recorded for On-Demand purposes.
