The Situation
Our client suffered a serious neck injury on the job. His doctor recommended a second surgery. The insurance carrier denied it, then offered $20,000 to make the whole thing go away.
The Challenge
Insurance companies deny legitimate claims and make low offers because they know most injured workers don’t have the knowledge or resources to push back. A $20,000 offer on a denied surgery case isn’t a settlement. It’s a strategy.
What Berlin Law Firm Did
Attorney Amanda Annunciata knew exactly what the carrier was doing. She built the case around the full exposure the insurance company faced, including the denied surgery, the medical necessity behind it, and every benefit our client was entitled to under Florida law. We dealt with the insurance company directly so our client could focus on his recovery.
The Result
Our client recovered $137,900, nearly seven times what the insurance company offered.
