Her insurance company denied a claim filed by her family, apparently choosing to believe the contention of the SUV driver that he did not cause the accident.When a witness stepped forward to state the man had run the red light and hit the woman\u2019s car, sending her Honda Insight into a light pole, the man\u2019s insurance company paid $25,000. Her family then sued, stating the man was underinsured and her insurance company should pay. Her policy covered uninsured motorists to a policy limit of $100,000.In March 2011, the victim\u2019s family sued her insurance company after it refused to pay, as well as the SUV driver. After no out-of-court settlement was reached with the insurer, the jury in Baltimore Circuit Court reached its verdict for the family.Outraged that the parties had to go to court, the victim\u2019s brother took to social-media and online sites to criticize his sister\u2019s insurer, accusing the insurer of paying for the SUV driver\u2019s defense. His rants spread across the world, with other policy holders responding online that they would cease to do business with the insurer.The insurer eventually responded with its own online postings, offering condolences to the woman\u2019s family but also defending how it conducted itself and correcting what it said were misstatements by the woman\u2019s brother.The victim paid her insurance policy in good faith that the insurer would follow through on the terms of its contract. When it didn\u2019t, the victim\u2019s family was well within its rights to pursue legal action against the company.Source: The Baltimore Sun, Online post about refusal to pay fatal accident claim goes viral,\u201d Lorraine Mirabella, Aug. 14, 2012"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/greenberglawyers.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Baltimore Jury Rules for Victim\u2019s Family in Accident Case","item":"https:\/\/greenberglawyers.com\/blog\/baltimore-jury-rules-victims-family-accident-case\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
