He didn't go to work looking to get rich. In fact, this hard-working, longtime employee of Palm Beach's sanitation department was content with receiving an honest day's pay for an honest day's work. He even planned for the unexpected; purchasing an additional $30,000 of insurance coverage to guard against the wear and tear his physical job could eventually take on his body.
Imagine his surprise when his major insurance company offered to pay a mere $2,500 to treat an injured shoulder that would require surgery to repair. Imagine the wages he lost, the medical expenses he incurred, the future medical expenses this injury would require down the road, the pain and suffering he experienced as a result of the delayed treatment, the anguish his wife endured as a result of this situation.
Frustrated and unable to come to a more favorable resolution with the insurance company, he turned to David Glatthorn, a West Palm Beach personal injury attorney skilled in the art of negotiation and an accomplished litigator. Glatthorn intervened on behalf of his client with the expectation that the insurance company would dig deeper into its coffers to cover the expenses, in agreeance with the man's $30,000 of insurance coverage. When the insurance company failed to do so, Glatthorn took them to court, earning his client an impressive judgment of nearly $1 million.
But why such a large sum when his policy limited coverage to $30,000? When an insurance company is given the opportunity to do the right thing - by living up to the terms of its agreement with the covered individual and it fails to act, it can be charged a ‘bad faith' penalty by the courts, Glatthorn explains. The punitive damages awarded serve as a reminder to the insurance industry to live up to its promises.
The judgment awarded Glatthorn's client his lost wages and medical expenses, as well as $120,000 for future medical expenses related to his injury, $765,000 for pain and suffering and $171,000 in compensation for his wife.
