Nonetheless, Mr. Stavley resolved the case with the insurance adjuster for the at-fault driver's policy limits - $1.5 Million.

Weeks before the trial, the insurance company relented and offered their $1 Million policy limits. Then the underinsured motorist carrier also paid their policy limits of an additional $500,000. The total recovery was $1.5 Million.
