## Case Description:

The defendant fell asleep at the wheel and veered off the road, striking the client on the side of the road while he was helping a friend load car seats into his car. 

## Legal Strategy:

The client’s insurance coverage was only $20,000. The insurance company failed to provide proper defense for the defendant, which allowed the plaintiff to sue the insurance company for bad faith. Insurance paid 100% of the settlement.

## Challenges:

Not enough insurance coverage for the client’s damages.

## Resolution:

Insurance agreed to pay all damages and settle for $2.5m.
