A lawyer representing a Bensalem, Pa., man who was awarded $19.1 million by a Philadelphia jury last week said the plaintiff had initially demanded $250,000 to resolve the case an auto accident that resulted in a lower leg amputation a couple years ago.
According to Matthew Casey of Ross Feller Casey, plaintiff Patrick Hennessy had demanded the $250,000 Allstate policy limits of defendant Ryan Caruso, but Allstate declined to pay on more than one occasion. Casey said Allstate offered the policy limits days before jury selection, but that he respectfully declined. Now, Casey said he "firmly believes" his client will be able to collect the full verdict from Allstate.
