Recent Settlements and Verdicts $17.25 Million paid to Cancer Victims for underpaid supplemental insurance policies The Devall Law Firm represented claimants from around the country and successfully recovered over $17 Million in reimbursements for the underpayment of benefits owed under cancer insurance policies. $250,000 in future wages and over $500,000 in ongoing medical treatment for an injured worker After an individual was seriously injured in a fall from a raised platform at work, Devall Law successfully represented the worker and protected the worker's family. As of today the injured worker, and his family, have received over $250,000 in past and future wages as a result of Mr. Devall's efforts. The worker's employer continues to pay related medical expenses, which are expected will be in the millions of dollars for his long term care. Over $6 Million in Injunctive Relief In addition to the over $17 million reimbursed to the cancer victims discussed above, Mr. Devall was successful in having the insured's future premium increases reduced. This resulted in injunctive relief of more than $6 million in estimated savings to the current policy holders. $200,000 paid as a result of insurance company's bad faith handling of claim Mr. Devall successfully represented a client whose deceased wife was underpaid by her insurance company for benefits she was owed under the policy. The client received monies for the underpayment of the bills, along with penalties, attorney fees, and court costs as a result of the insurer's bad faith handling of the claim. Reimbursement of outstanding wages, along with penalties and attorney fees Mr. Devall represented an employee who was not paid all the wages and overtime owed to her by her employer. The Law Firm was able to collect all of the unpaid wages, along with full recovery of penalties, attorney fees, and court costs as a result of the employer having been unreasonable in not paying the wages owed.
