exposing the defendant’s insurance company to a judgment potential
in excess of the policy limit, in which case they would be forced
to pay the entire judgment, regardless of their policy maximum limits.

Question: Does Bisnar | Chase handle cases with a value less
than $50,000?
Answer: Not intentionally. Unless there are special circumstances,
we only represent clients who have a legal and moral right to recover
a sum greater than $50,000 to $100,000. The actual minimum amount depends
upon the circumstances. The minimum for a clear liability auto accident
case would be much lower than for an auto products liability case where
car-to-car crash testing is necessary.
* Injured motorcyclist - $3 Million after
his previous attorney advised that his claim was worth only $15,000.
On a normal, fully scheduled day, John Bisnar received an urgent call
from a business associate, a local realtor. The caller frantically explained
that her brother-in-law was in a Sacramento hospital, his doctors had
recommended a complicated, risky surgery, and he was panicking about what
would become of his family and about payment of the mounting medical expenses.
She further explained that her brother-in-law was desperate to get answers
from his attorney about these issues before consenting to surgery, that
his attorney was not returning calls and his attorney had previously advised
that his case was only worth $15,000, the maximum amount of insurance
of the negligent automobile driver.
Mr. Bisnar immediately spoke to the injured man and quickly realized
that this was not a consultation to have over the phone. Mr. Bisnar canceled
the rest of his day and took the next flight to Sacramento.
Once Mr. Bisnar arrived at the hospital, the injured man explained that
he was hit by a car while on his motorcycle in the course of running an
errand for his employer. He said he had hired a nationally known motorcycle
accident attorney and that the attorney advised him that the negligent
driver's insurance limit was $15,000 and that was the total value of his
claim. He went on to explain that his doctors had advised him that he
could lose his leg (it was eventually saved).
After Mr. Bisnar answered his questions, advised him regarding his Workers'
Compensation benefits and explained that his attorney probably was right
about the $15,000 value of his claim. The injured man asked to hire Mr.
Bisnar, explaining that he had received more information from Mr. Bisnar
about his circumstances, his rights, his options and the probable outcome
of his case than he had received from his present attorney after weeks
of representation. Mr. Bisnar reluctantly accepted.
An immediate investigation uncovered that the negligent driver was a
route salesman for a beer distributor and was probably on the job at the
time of the accident (although the employer initially denied this). When
the employer was advised of the results of the Bisnar investigation, the
insurance company for the employer offered to settle the claim for a few
hundred thousand dollars.
Mr. Bisnar did settle the claim with the beer distributor. The total
recovery included $750,000 in up front cash, all medical expenses paid,
Workers' Compensation liens satisfied, and an income for life (future
value of the "income for life" exceeding $2,000,000).
