Personal Injury Facts

After Hal Goldblatt was struck by a car in a crosswalk and suffered a traumatic brain injury, his family took out loans to pay for his care while Progressive Insurance stalled their claim for months - because the request arrived on a plain form letter instead of attorney letterhead. A Clark County jury awarded $101 million: $1 million compensatory, $100 million punitive. Progressive had rejected a $1.9 million settlement offer without making a single counteroffer.
