Erik Connell (Of Counsel-Seattle, WA) obtained a favorable result in an arbitration in Yakima County, Washington, in an automobile accident case against Wilson Elser’s client, a non-emergency medical transportation company. The plaintiff alleged injuries arising from the accident, and fault was admitted. The plaintiff originally alleged $21,188 in medical bills to the Arbitrator, but lowered this amount to $14,084 after Erik argued that the plaintiff was disallowed from claiming most of the medical bills. The plaintiff asked the Arbitrator for $101,406. The Arbitrator awarded $14,930. The claims adjuster had offered the plaintiff’s counsel $35,000 prior to arbitration.
