After Denying Claim, Insurance Company Required to Pay $300,000

The insurance company initially denied payment to our client, a 49 year old woman seriously injured in an Arizona collision. The issue was complex: whether a separate policy (covering a Virginia auto) would apply to cover the injuries. As a delay tactic, the insurance company even attempted to transfer the case to Arizona. We took the case to trial in Virginia and won. Additionally, the judge found that the company's attempt to transfer matters out of state was a bad faith delay tactic. They were ordered to pay our client's legal fees, and additionally paid the entire $300,000 policy limit.

Working with Andrew and his team has been--without exception--one of the most pleasant, productive, and professional experiences of my adult life. I was seriously injured in an accident in July, 2018, in Virginia. I was driving a company vehicle that was registered in Maryland, for a company that was based in Wisconsin. And I live in New Jersey, where my personal vehicles are insured. The several jurisdictions involved presented a very unique case that demanded an experienced and nuanced strategy. I found Andrew Thomas (of Dulaney, Lauer, & Thomas) through some online research. And it is noteworthy that Andrew has worked the other side of the aisle--he used to work with insurance companies. Andrew took on my case with the assurance that he would work it with no less energy than he does each of his cases. At each turn, and with each question I had, Andrew and Paralegal Misty kept me informed, returned my calls, provided detailed explanations, and kept me feeling like I was in the loop and there was an eventual end to our journey. Nearly five years after the accident, we settled out of court for a significant sum in recognition of my personal injuries. The settlement was much more than I had expected. And without Andrew & Misty, I am sure the award would have been much less. If you are looking for professionalism, knowledge, dedication, answerability, responsiveness, integrity, and human-level communication from a personal injury attorney--look no further. You have found him. Thank you, Andrew and Misty. Gary Daley
