Partners Drew Beal and Nicholas Smith successfully negotiated a significant $1 million settlement (April 26, 2019)
- Representative Cases | Individual Litigation
Partners Drew Beal and Nicholas Smith successfully negotiated a significant
$1 million settlement immediately before trial on behalf of their client
in a personal injury case with hotly contested coverage questions regarding
an umbrella policy of insurance.
In this case, Buckley Beal represented a woman who suffered permanent injuries
and multiple broken bones after a nasty head-on car collision. Buckley
Beal’s position was that the accident was caused by the at-fault
driver and car’s owner who had negligently entrusted the vehicle
to the driver after they spent the evening drinking and smoking marijuana.

case; what it came down to was negligent entrustment and the law on permissive
use of a vehicle.”
