SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS CABLE / July 27, 2022 / Personal injury attorney Teresa Li, founder of the Law Offices of Teresa Li, PCannounced today that he won $500,000 for his client who was hit.
According to court documents, Li’s client, a 54-year-old woman, suffered a concussion and annular tears to her cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) discs when she was struck on the passenger side when another driver improperly changed lanes on Alma Street near the Caltrain station in Palo Alto, CA on July 17, 2018.
Li’s client was on her way home after dropping off her daughter at the Caltrain station. After the impact, Li’s client refused an ambulance and went to see a chiropractor the same day for her injuries. Later, she checked into an emergency room for neck pain. Her primary care doctor diagnosed her with neck strain and concussion. At the time of the collision, Li’s client was a part-time administrative assistant and a part-time real estate agent. Due to her injuries, she had to quit her real estate job and became a full-time administrative assistant to minimize her loss of wages.
Both the other driver and Li’s client have Travelers Commercial Insurance Company. On January 8, 2020, Li’s client filed a lawsuit in Santa Clara Superior Court (Case No. 20CV361494). The case reached the $100,000 policy limit settlement on July 20, 2020 with the other driver’s insurance. Li’s client then demanded arbitration against his own insurance company for underinsured motorist coverage that carries another $400,000 policy limit.
Travelers disputed that Li’s client suffered a concussion and annular disc tears in his cervical and lumbar spine, but less than 2 weeks before the arbitration for the underinsured motorist claim, Travelers filed the second limit of the insurance policy. $400,000 on July 20, 2022.
“I am glad that Travelers has finally stepped up and fulfilled their contractual obligation to pay their own insured for the personal injuries they sustained. That’s what insurance is for,” said Teresa Li.
