The R Family v. Fidelity National Insurance Company
Insurance Policy Limits
A mother and her daughter were visiting the home of a dog owner when that dog unexpectedly attacked the young daughter, biting her on her face and causing scars. After these parents first contacted our office, they had second thoughts and considered trying to handle the case without a lawyer. However, the insurance company refused to offer anything at all, denying any payments were available under the policy. In fact, the insurance company denied that the policy even covered dog bites.
The mother and father then retained us to help their daughter, and we filed a lawsuit and argued that the insurance contract must cover this injury, in spite of the policy language the insurer attempted to rely upon. After months of litigation, the insurance company was finally paid all monies available under the policy. As a result of the decision by these loving parents to fight for their daughter and retain our office - instead of accepting the complete denial of the claim - we were able to secure money to set aside for future medical care if their daughter can use it for the scarring, and we were also able to secure a structured settlement that will ultimately allow this beautiful girl to go to college or help by a new home when she gets older.
