Case Results

A 32-year-old mother with two small boys suffered catastrophic injuries in a motor vehicle wreck while driving to a work conference. Her traumatic brain injury left her in a coma-like state for several months.

She continues to improve, but will never work again or regain her prior quality of life. The settlement provides living expenses and ongoing lifetime medical care, helping support her and her children as she continues her recovery.

A 47-year-old woman was impacted in a chain collision after a box truck struck vehicles behind her. She required three neck and shoulder surgeries. Because she had a pre-existing neck surgery, the defendant argued that her later injuries and surgeries were unrelated to the collision.

Treating physicians provided written opinions connecting her injuries to the wreck. The defendant tendered the trucking company’s policy limits, recovering the maximum available under that insurance policy.

A woman died in a house fire after the alarm company sent the fire department to the wrong address. The firm obtained compensation for her husband and children for their loss.

An entire shelf of folding tables fell on a client shopping in a membership discount store. She required surgery, skilled inpatient rehabilitation at a nursing facility, and outpatient physical therapy. She lost her independence, moving from living alone to an apartment closer to her children. The settlement compensated her medical expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.

My client was traveling straight on his motorcycle, when another driver pulled out from a parking lot, attempting to turn left, and crossed directly in front of him. The resulting collision fractured my client’s wrist, resulting in surgery and lost wages with work. The case was disputed by the insurance carrier for almost two years, claiming that he was speeding and that their insured should have had enough time to complete her left turn. Her failure to yield the right-of-way was the sole cause of the collision, and we fought that position for our client all the way through. In the end, the insurance carrier backed off their liability denial and accepted that their insured was primarily at fault for the wreck. We got a great settlement for our client that compensated him not only for his medical bills and lost wages, but also for the pain and suffering he had to go through as a result of his injuries.

A restroom partition separating urinals at a convenience store chain fell on a man’s foot. A blister became infected, and tissue decay created a wound that remained open for almost a year. The store blamed him for leaning on the partition and cited pre-existing conditions affecting his healing. The firm countered those defenses and obtained compensation for his damages and pain and suffering.

A rear-end collision caused minor vehicle damage but a severe injury requiring invasive neck surgery. The insurer initially resisted the claim because the vehicles had little damage. The firm obtained compensation that included medical bills and pain and suffering.

Another driver cut suddenly in front of the client, causing a collision and wrist injuries requiring two surgeries. The other driver’s insurer paid its policy limits, but the client’s own insurer disputed the remaining underinsured motorist claim. The firm compelled arbitration and recovered the additional monies owed.

A client slipped on water allowed to spill from a drain at a bar/restaurant. Her injuries required two surgeries. The firm obtained compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and permanent injury.
