New York Personal Injury Lawyers explain High Low Agreements

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accident Injuries, Accidents, Damages Awards, Personal Injuries

For example, in a personal injury action where the insurance policy limits are one million dollars ($1,000,000), the parties may enter into a high low agreement of $100,000 to $550,000. This means that if the...

It also sets a ceiling on the recovery which defendants favor because it prevents them from having...

Toyota Motor Corp. officials are under fire with questions from Congress during Senate hearings on the company's worldwide recall of 8,500,000 vehicles.

Safety experts have said the problem may be with the electronics inside the Toyota vehicles. An estimated 52 deaths since 2000 have been linked to the sudden acceleration problem. Toyota is also fixing 1.6 million cars due to oil hoses with leaks. A large numbers of death...
