At McMullin Injury Law, we believe in fighting for every client, no matter the size of their case. This was especially true for McMullin Injury Law’s July 2025 Settlements, when we settled two vastly different personal injury cases. One was a multi-million dollar settlement for a family devastated by a freeway accident, and the other was a smaller case that began with a lowball offer from an insurance company.
These two cases are perfect examples of the wide range of challenges our clients face. From catastrophic, life-altering events to the frustrating tactics of insurance adjusters in smaller claims, the path to fair compensation is rarely straightforward. It’s our mission to navigate this path for our clients, providing clarity and expert guidance every step of the way, ensuring their story is heard and their rights are protected.
The $4.3 Million Freeway Accident
This was a tragic case involving a family who was rear-ended on the freeway. The accident was devastating, and the family was facing a long road to recovery. We knew we had to do everything we could to help them.
Securing a settlement of this magnitude requires more than just filing a claim; it involves a deep and thorough investigation into the long-term consequences of the accident. We meticulously documented not only the immediate medical expenses but also the future costs of care, lost income, and the profound emotional and physical suffering the family will endure for years to come. It is only by presenting a comprehensive and undeniable picture of these damages that an insurance company can be compelled to provide a settlement that truly reflects the immense loss. After a long and difficult negotiation, we were able to secure a $4.3 million settlement for the family.
The Cedar City Rear-End Accident
This case involved a client who was rear-ended in Cedar City. The client’s medical bills were over $2,400, but the insurance company only offered a settlement of $2,400. This was a lowball offer, and we knew it wasn’t fair to our client.
Initially, the clients were hesitant to hire an attorney, hoping the insurance company would simply do the right thing. This is a common hope, but unfortunately, it’s often not the reality. The initial offer, which didn’t even cover their medical bills, is a classic tactic used by adjusters to minimize their payout. They test the victim’s resolve, hoping they will give up and accept an unfair amount out of frustration. This is precisely the point where legal intervention becomes critical.
After we haggled with the insurance company, they saw that our client was a credible witness and that we were prepared to go to trial. Shortly after the deposition, the insurance company offered to settle the case for $10,300. This was a much fairer offer, and our client was happy to accept it.

Transcription
Personal injury cases come in all shapes and sizes. At McMullin injury law, the biggest case that we resolved in the month of July, 2025, was actually a really devastating case. In order to get an insurance company to cough up a huge amount of money, it means something really bad has happened. The biggest settlement that we had at our firm in the month of July was $4.3 million, and unfortunately there was a rear end accident on the freeway to a beautiful family and the details of it are just too sensitive to go much further than that, but we were able to get a policy limits resolution of $4.3 million for this family.
By contrast, our smallest case in the month of July was also a rear end accident, but it happened here in Cedar City. It was a rear end on Main Street, there was minimal injuries. Their neck and back were sore, and they never wanted to hire an attorney at all. Actually never had before, but the insurance company that was at fault was offering ’em $2,400 to settle their case. And their medical bills alone were $4,700, so that was not gonna work. So they finally relented and called an attorney.
We were able to get their offer up to $6,300, but that still didn’t make sense. They were only getting $1,600 for the human experience of it, plus getting all their medical bills paid. So, that’s obviously better, but not enough. We ended up actually having to file a lawsuit because the insurance just refused to do what’s right.
After filing a lawsuit, taking depositions, showing the insurance company that we were serious, suddenly they offered 10,300 and we were able to get the case resolved for that family.
