A couple cases resolved themselves in the past couple days. A car accident case involving a forehead scar settled for $25K, though there is still a claim against another vehicle on that one. An old car accident case is settling for another $15K (had settled with the other car in that case for $100K).
Got a new car accident case recently. Client was a passenger and badly fractured his leg. Both cars are clearly liable but have minimum insurance ($25,000 each for my client). With one car it's tempting to go after the driver personally - someone driving a $30K car should have more insurance. But both client and I feel we should resolve the case and move on. With the other car, we're dealing with an insurance company that has some bad practices and this may lead to another bad faith claim against that company. But I suspect they've learned their lesson and will pay quickly on this one.
