Our client's vehicle was violently rear-ended by another driver at a red light. The collision caused a serious hand injury that required surgical intervention, followed by ongoing medical treatment and recovery. Despite clear liability, the at-fault driver’s insurer attempted to undervalue the claim. At the same time, the client’s underinsured motorist (UIM) carrier resisted responsibility. Our firm aggressively challenged both insurers. Through detailed presentation of medical records, surgical documentation, and expert-supported evidence outlining the lasting effects of the hand injury, we demonstrated the true value of the claim. Rodiguez Law Firm secured the full policy limits of $100,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurer. We then pursued additional recovery through the client’s UIM coverage, successfully obtaining an additional $278,000. The combined settlement of $378,000 ensured our client was fully compensated for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and the long-term consequences of the injury.

Our client’s family suffered a devastating loss when their loved one, a front-seat passenger, was killed in a violent rollover crash in Virginia. The vehicle, driven by the defendant, veered off the roadway, overcorrected, and rolled multiple times before coming to rest. Emergency responders found the victim without a pulse at the scene. Represented by attorney Dagoberto J. Rodriguez of Manassas, the family pursued a wrongful death claim seeking full accountability for the driver’s actions. Through detailed investigation and negotiation, our legal team secured a settlement reflecting the maximum policy limits available. The case settled for $500,000, providing justice and financial support for the victim’s family. This case was featured in Virginia Lawyers Weekly (December 26, 2022).

Two clients were seriously injured in a Montgomery County collision and endured months of medical treatment. When it came time to settle, the insurance company’s offers were less than the cost of their medical bills — an undervaluation of their injuries and losses. We made clear from the outset that our clients deserved fair compensation and refused to accept the insurer’s “insulting” offers. After filing suit and preparing for trial, the insurer reversed course and agreed to pay the full policy limits. The case settled for $150,000, giving our clients the financial stability and validation they needed to focus fully on recovery.

Our client was injured in a car crash but spent more than two years waiting for fair treatment from the insurer. Despite clear injuries and mounting losses, the company refused to make any offer, leaving the client frustrated and financially strained. When we took the case in June 2024, we immediately filed suit in Washington County, Maryland, and built a strong evidentiary record with expert testimony and thorough client preparation. Minutes after our client’s deposition, the insurer reversed its position and offered the full policy limits—a complete turnaround. The case settled for $100,000, bringing long-overdue closure and financial relief.

Two clients were seriously injured when a left-turning driver cut across their lane at a Virginia intersection. The clients also sustained major property damage to their vehicle. Despite the clear circumstances, the at-fault driver denied responsibility—claiming he had a green light—and his insurer refused to accept liability. Our attorneys prepared for trial, knowing the defense would challenge every detail. Through credible testimony and clear legal argument, we proved that the defendant failed to yield as required under Virginia law for left-turning drivers. The judge agreed, rejecting the defense’s version of events. The court ruled in our clients’ favor, awarding the full $60,000 policy limits—$30,000 for each client.

Our clients were towing a horse trailer in Texas when another vehicle violently struck their pickup truck. Both occupants suffered injuries requiring emergency care, and their horse was treated for trauma and physical injuries. Despite clear damage, the insurance company denied their claim based on an inaccurate police report, a flawed accident diagram, and a “missing” witness. Our team launched an independent investigation, uncovering errors in the report and locating the key eyewitness the insurer claimed was unreachable. With verified testimony, medical records, and veterinary documentation, we reconstructed the collision and proved the other driver’s fault beyond dispute. The insurer reversed its denial, reassigned fault, and paid the full $30,000 policy limit for each client.

A 16-year-old was struck by a driver who failed to see him while he crossed a residential intersection on his skateboard. The minor sustained a fractured skull and multiple injuries, spending six days in the emergency room. Maryland’s contributory negligence law could have barred recovery, but our team argued that the client’s minor status meant he couldn’t be held to an adult standard of care. We highlighted the driver’s duty to exercise caution near intersections and presented witnesses who confirmed her attempt to flee the scene. Preservation letters secured video footage, medical documentation, and insurance records to strengthen the claim. Our attorneys obtained an $80,000 settlement that will cover medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages and emotional trauma.
