April, 2008
In April of 2008, Marc F. Bendinelli and W. Joseph Lapham II completed a two week jury trial after an insurance company wrongfully denied insurance coverage to a single mom who suffered very serious injuries. The insurance company refused to do the right thing (despite being given chances to make things right), and continued to mistreat the mother who was having a hard time financially keeping things together for herself and her 2 daughters. Prior to the trial, the insurance company offered $99 to settle the case. After a hard fought two-week long trial (where experts where being flown in from all over the country), the jury returned a verdict in favor of that single mom for $500,000. Upon hearing the jury's verdict, the mom broke down and cried real tears of joy - continually thanking our trial team that worked so hard for her. We treat our clients with real care and we will always give you and your case our best efforts.
