The Abrahamson & Uiterwyk Attorneys and Injury Law Team
“A system of hiring an attorney on an hourly basis rewards inefficiency, creates delays and commonly creates negative issues between the lawyer and the client. Representing clients on a contingency basis in which the law firm earns a percentage of the settlement, however, is much more rewarding for the client and the injury attorneys.”
Client Services Manager
Kelly Anne Kelly
As a Client Services Manager, Kelly’s focus is to enhance client satisfaction by continuously looking for ways to fulfill clients’ needs and concerns.

Recent Personal Injury Settlement Example
$1,600,000 Car Accident Settlement
Our client was seated in the back of a vehicle when the driver made an illegal left-hand turn, failing to yield the right of way to an oncoming vehicle traveling in the opposite direction. This led to a head-on collision.
Our client was airlifted to the emergency room, where they were treated for a broken pelvis, broken leg, neck fracture, neck pain, and a closed head injury with a brain bleed. The client underwent surgeries to repair the pelvis and leg injuries and received conservative treatment and rehabilitation to recover from the brain injury.
A demand was presented to the defendant’s insurance company, but the initial offer was only $300,000, which was rejected.
Following the low offer, a suit was filed immediately. Depositions were taken from the defendant driver, witnesses, and our client’s treating doctors. Additionally, our client underwent examinations by physicians hired by the defendant’s insurance company. One of these physicians confirmed that our client’s closed head injury was permanent.
Shortly after the suit was filed, the defendant’s insurance company increased their offer to $500,000, which was also rejected. During a mediation conference, the defendant’s insurance company offered $750,000 to settle the case; this offer was likewise rejected.
As the case progressed through the lengthy litigation process, it eventually settled for $1.6 million, closer to the trial date.
