$30.5 Million Settlement Makes MLW Yearly List


Each year Missouri Lawyer’s Weekly honors Missouri attorneys for their accomplishments as part of its Top Verdicts and Settlements Awards. One of Tim Dollar’s cases was featured on this list.

These quantitative awards featured Missouri-licensed attorneys “who scored the biggest civil victories in Missouri courts in 2018” based on the publication’s database. The publication considers both defense and plaintiff (verdicts and judgements) victories.

Under the Top Settlements category, Tim Dollar’s Holdeman v. Allstate Fire & Insurance Company case was listed as the number #2 settlement. Dollar settled this case for $30.5 million, which was the largest settlement paid on a single claim by a company. This litigation stemmed from an earlier jury verdict where Dollar’s client was severely injured in a car crash.

Here is a complete awards listing. Congratulations to all the winners and great work!
