Success Stories

Below are examples of some of the recoveries RLF has made for clients.

The “net to client” amounts are what the client received after deducting contingent attorney’s fees and litigation expenses. The actual results for any client vary from case to case based on the facts and circumstances of each case. In most auto accident cases, if the driver-at-fault is not driving a company car or a personal car on company business and the driver-at-fault is not wealthy, the maximum recovery is limited to the total amount of the driver-at-fault’s liability insurance policy limits and the victim’s underinsured motorist coverage (UIM) policy limits.
