Egan Secures Large Settlement for Client After Serious Injury

The Law Offices of Kenneth G. Egan is proud to announce a significant victory for a client who suffered a serious injury in a work-related car accident. 

The Accident

Our client was involved in an auto accident while on the clock for their employer. The accident left them with serious injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. They were found not at fault by their insurance company or the police report.

Seeking Additional Compensation

Following the accident, our client retained a Workers’ Compensation attorney to handle their work-related benefits. However, recognizing the potential for additional compensation beyond Workers’ Compensation, they sought the expertise of The Law Offices of Kenneth G. Egan to explore all legal avenues available.

The client faced opposition from their Workers’ Compensation attorney who discouraged pursuing a claim against the at-fault driver. The other attorney’s reasoning was that a second lawsuit would jeopardize the worker’s compensation case. This is not true and uninformed. Despite these attempts to limit their options, our client trusted our firm’s expertise in New Mexico insurance law.

A Significant Victory

Our legal team investigated the accident, gathering evidence to build a strong case against the at-fault driver. We employed an approach that aggressively pursued a settlement with the responsible party’s insurance company.

Our efforts were rewarded. Through diligent investigation and strategic negotiation, The Law Offices of Kenneth G. Egan secured a substantial 6 figure amount from the at-fault driver’s insurance company. This additional compensation, on top of any Workers’ Compensation benefits, provides our client with much-needed financial security and peace of mind.
