Paula M. was rear-ended and suffered a bad shoulder injury. The doctor said she would need surgery. She tried working with the insurance company on her own to settle her case. But the insurer offered her only $2,000 and told her that was the best she would ever get. Paula came to the Law Offices of Dianne Sawaya, but the insurance company still refused to pay Paula what she deserved. So Dianne sued the negligent at-fault driver and his insurance company. The insurer reconsidered its position and decided maybe Paula’s injuries and medical treatment was worth more after all.

Settlement: $20,000
