$225,000 – Rear-end Collision at Freeway On-ramp
Paul was stopped at the traffic signal waiting to get onto the I-5 freeway. The at-fault driver wasn’t paying attention and did not see that Paul was stopped ahead of her as she accelerated to highway speed. By the time she realized she needed to stop, she could not slow down because a water bottle had rolled under her brake pedal. Paul was rear-ended by a car reaching highway speed.
The impact led to injuries to Paul’s neck and back, as well as wage loss as he recovered. Expenses quickly exhausted the limits of the at-fault driver’s policy, since she maintained only minimal coverage. Bellingham attorney Bill Coats knew that because Paul carried Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage, he would not be left to shoulder the difference himself.
