A man who suffered a back injury when he was rear-ended in Dalton, Georgia, settled his claims for the at-fault driver’s $1 million policy limits, plus another $55,000 in additional uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.

Ali Awad Law principal Ali Awad said the defendant driver was in a company car. The insurer, Travelers, initially asked for additional time to respond to a pretrial settlement demand but reversed course and tendered its policy limits within the specified time.
