Summary
A young mother was driving on a two-lane highway when an oncoming vehicle came into her lane and struck her car. Because of the wreck, she suffered from a bulging disc that impaired her ability to play with her children and perform everyday tasks.

After a jury trial, the young mother was awarded the full policy limit of $100,000 for her injuries plus an additional $33,333.33 for attorney fees because of her insurance company’s unreasonable failure to pay, for a total award of $133,333.33.
