What Is Unique about How Feller & Wendt Approaches Personal Injury Cases? – Brian Hansen

So one of the things that makes Feller & Wendt, LLC™ unique about how we handle personal injury cases is our ability to get policy limits. Anytime you’re dealing with a case, you want to know right out of the gate what are the limits available because that’s typically the only money that you can pursue in a civil case. So we find out right away how much the at-fault driver’s insurance policy is, what our own clients YIM policy is from the at-fault driver to cover all of their damages. And our ability to get policy limits is very unique. It’s our goal in every case. When we have someone come in the door, we say we want to get policy limits. Obviously, we don’t know what those are right out of the gate. But we’ve gone from, as we were a younger firm, 20 to 25% of our cases settled for policy limits. In the last couple years, that number’s jumped to over 70% of our cases settled for policy limits. And that’s ultimately to the benefit of our client. It means  we can get more in their pocket, and the way we go about managing their case, we’re able to get these cases settled for policy needs much more often than we previously did. One of the primary reasons  behind that is because we spent years building a reputation; that we would not settle for less  than value, full value, and we would litigate these cases. We’d litigate the small cases, big cases, and eventually, insurance companies when we told them either pay or we’ll sue,  believed us because we did it enough, and now we’re to a stage where we get 90% of our cases done without the need to litigate and over 70% of those cases are for policy limits.
