The 2011 Settlement Was More Than $250,000
I have been in three accidents over 21 years and have had Todd represent me in all of them. The first one was in 1989, and Todd did such a fine job that I returned to him in 1994. In that accident, Todd recovered for me a policy-limit settlement in excess of $100,000. My most-recent accident was in 2010. That accident involved my being hit by a criminal who was fleeing the home that he had just robbed. He was being chased, and crashed into me. That 2011 settlement for me was more than a quarter of a million dollars! I have recommended Todd to friends and will return to him if I ever get hit again. ~ Dabney L. - North Highlands, CA
Todd Secured For Me A Settlement Higher Than I Had Ever Expected
I am a former law enforcement officer who has disabled on the job years ago. When I got into a recent car accident, the other driver's insurance company tried to blame my injuries and treatment on my old disability. Todd was able to schedule a meeting with me and the insurance adjuster for the other driver who came to Todd's office to hear our side of the case. Todd persuaded the adjuster that my injuries were from the recent car crash. Shortly after that meeting, Todd secured for me a settlement higher than I had ever expected in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Todd did not quit then. He continued to work on the case for free, and negotiated with my health insurance company who wanted to be remibursed for the car-accident bills that they had paid. Todd convinced them to accept a very small sum, which put tens of thousands of dollars more into my pocket. Thanks Todd for all your hard work. ~ Duane S. - Folsom, CA
The Insurance Company Caved-in And Paid The Claim In Full
The other driver ran the red light and broadsided my car, injuring my neck. His insurance company refused to pay more than a few thousand dollars because I had been offered neck surgery before that accident and I declined to have it. Todd encouraged me to refuse the settlement and to file a lawsuit against the other driver. I followed his advice and Todd recovered for me a full policy-limit settlement shortly after the lawsuit was filed. I did not even have to go to a deposition before they caved-in and paid the claim in full. ~ Andrew L. - Folsom, CA
Todd Settled My Case For More Than I Had Ever Expected
I was broadsided by a hit-and-run driver in downtown Sacramento. I went to the hospital that day and again the following morning. On my way home from the second hospital visit, I was hit again by a truck on the freeway. The two insurance companies pointed their fingers at the other accident as the cause of my pain and treatment. I was stuck in the middle. Todd convinced me to file lawsuits against both of them and to merge the cases together in court. After we did that, both insurance companies got reasonable and agreed to go to a settlement meeting called a mediation. Todd was able to settle my case there for more money than I had ever expected, and I did not even have to go to court! Todd also helped my wife years ago when she was hit, and Todd got her enough money for her case that she was able to retire. We will use only Todd if we ever need an injury attorney again. ~ Tim C. - Sacramento, CA
The Settlement Was Almost Four Times The First Offer!
I was rear-ended by a person who did not have insurance, and thought that I could handle the claim with my own insurance company. They wanted all kinds of records before my accident and wanted personal information that I did not feel comfortable giving them. I hired Todd to help me and he suggested that we start with litigating the case. At the beginning of the case, my insurance company offered me a very small settlement. After the litigation started, my insurance company took the depositions of every one of my doctors and even took my deposition, looking for a way not to pay me. Todd kept fighting, and by the end of the case, the settlement offer was almost four times what the insurance company had first offered. Thanks Todd. ~ Sharon M. - Vallejo, CA
The Insurance Company Increased Their Offer
I was rear-ended on my motorcycle while at a red stop light. The lady who hit me was not paying attention and looked at another light that she thought was green. Her insurance company would not pay me, so I hired Todd. He filed a lawsuit for me and assisted me with filling out all of the forms that the insurance company's lawyers sent to me. Todd also met with me before I was questioned by the lady's lawyers so that I was prepared. After those steps were concluded, the insurance company increased their offer and Todd was able to settle my case for the amount that I was hoping for when we started the suit. And I did not even have to go to court! ~ Joe D. - Natomas, CA
My First Attorney Gave Up!
"The other driver was elderly and ran a red light when he crashed into my car. He told the police that he did not know what color the light was. He later changed his story and sued me, saying that I ran the red light! Because there were no witnesses, his insurance company refused to pay for my totaled car or for my injuries. My first attorney then dropped my case. My doctor recommended Todd Bissell who agreed to take on my case. Todd fought hard for me and took my case all the way to trial. After Todd won our pre-trial motions, the insurance company got reasonable and we were able to settle the case. Thanks Todd for sticking with me when my other attorney gave up on me." ~ Carol L. - Sacramento, CA
A Verdict Of Almost $600K
"I was rear-ended, and the insurance company for the man who hit me said that my car was not damaged enough to cause the injuries that I had. I needed two surgeries, and the man's insurance company said that these injuries were not caused by the car accident despite that my doctors said that they were. My first attorney was not able to get the insurance company to offer me anything! I transferred the case to Todd at the recommendation of a friend. At one point, they offered me $250,000. Todd suggested that I reject that. When I did, the insurance company got nasty and reduced their offer to only $50,000, and never offered more. Two settlement judges suggested that I take this smaller amount. Todd told me not to and to keep fighting. We took the case to a jury trial and Todd recovered for me a verdict of almost $600,000! Todd also forced the insurance company to pay for my legal costs, the expert fees of my doctors who had to testify, and interest on the money that the insurance company refused to pay me. Todd kept fighting for me and never gave up. Thank you, Todd." ~ Sunni C. - Sacramento, CA
Big Rig Driver Fell Asleep
"The big rig driver admitted at the accident scene that he fell asleep when he crossed into my lane and nearly killed me. Later, he told his insurance company that he blacked out from some unknown medical condition. They refused to pay for my 5 surgeries. Todd personally conducted a complete investigation and located witnesses and evidence to prove the truth. Todd won my case for me which settled before trial for a value of $1.6 million." ~ Ken N. - Elk Grove, CA
Pick Up Truck Accident
"The guy in the pickup truck hit me and knocked me to the ground. He told his insurance company that I walked out in front of him. They blamed me and wouldn't pay for my injuries and time missed from work. Todd filed a lawsuit, won the case and collected two policy-limit settlements for me." ~ Kristen B. - Folsom, CA
