- Premises Liability. Client's condominium complex was undergoing asphalt repairs. The defendant failed to properly install temporary traffic control devices, such as cones, signs, caution tape, etc. throughout the project, including the injury site. On the date of injury, our client departed her unit and made her way to her carport to go to her fathers house and wait out the asphalt remodel at her complex. The asphalt on the street was ground down and created a 2-3 inch lip at the carport. Our client tripped on the carport lip and fractured her ulna and radius. She had two surgeries. Defense argued comparative fault because client was provided notice that construction was underway at the time of the incident. The case settled for $155,000.00. , 2021

- Auto v. Auto. Client was rear ended on the freeway, causing a concussion. The client had a history of concussions (5-7 prior concussions confirmed by medical records). This case was referred over with a pre-litigation demand of $35,000 and a third party carrier offer of $30,000.00. This was case immediately filed and the $30,000 demand was withdrawn. After months of discovery, depositions and correspondence, it became clear to the third party carrier that, despite a history of concussions, the latest concussion was the preverbal straw that broke the camels back. The case was positioned to go to trial with an open policy. A C.C.P. section 998 offer was sent for policy limits as a last good faith attempt to settle the case before trial. The third party carrier accepted the 998 offer. The case settled for $100,000.00. The client also had a UM policy with 250k/500k limits. I demanded the UM policy limits, and after depositions of two treating doctors, the carrier paid the full 150k from the clients UM policy. Total recovery: 250k. , 2021
- Premises liability. Defendants ran a health screening company that would open up shop in hotels and charge people without insurance for heart exams and other testing. This company advertised itself as a cheap and easy way to stay healthy and ensure your health for the year to come. Our client arrived nervously at the hotel for the testing. After a nurse took some vitals and performed a carotid artery ultrasound in the supine position. The nurse from the health screening company instructed our client to get off the table and go back to the waiting room, without assistance. Our client did as she was instructed and as she got up she became extremely dizzy and fell, fracturing her hip. At the ER, she had a metal spike inserted into her hip. She needs future full hip replacement, which she can now pay for with the $400,000.00 settlement we obtained for her, 2021
- Auto v. Auto. Client, an elderly person with a history of degenerative neck problems, was rear ended on the freeway. The accident aggravated his neck injury to the point where he was recommended to undergo cervical fusion. A prior, recent heart attack prevented the client from undergoing surgery. Initial offer by third party carrier was $13,000.00, citing degenerative neck issues and no surgery. The case was filed and positioned for open policy litigation. One final demand letter for policy limits was sent to the third party carrier detailing the risk of exposure to their insured. The case settled for policy limits: $100,000.00, 2020
- Premises Liability. Client was an elderly person renting a run-down home. The stairs of the home were not code-compliant in that they did not have railings. The client lost his balance on the stairs, fell, hit his head and died. The case settled for policy limits: $300,000.00, 2020
- Auto v. Auto. A hit and run driver forced my client off of the road and onto the sidewalk, causing major property damage. The client underwent three epidural injections in the lumbar spine. Medical specials, on a lien, were approximately $55,000.00. Initial offer $20,000. After multiple pre-litigation rounds of negotiation, the case settled at $95,000.00. A hit and run diver forced out client off of the road after making side impact on 2/10/18. Major PD. Client had 2 3mm protrusions in his Lumbar. He underwent conservative treatment, got trigger point injections and 3 ESI injections. Meds are at $55,371.00. I got this case from Nabil with an offer of $55,000 and instructions to shoot for around 70-75k. TPC initially refused to increase her offer. I argued with her relating her reductions based on Howell since our client never went to health insurance. She then came up to 71k. I represented that I valued this case in excess of six figures and kept sending an old picture of a scar (scar has completely healed and is no longer visible) and the property damage photos. After several rounds of doing this I got her to 91k and I was at 100k so we agreed to meet in the middle at 95k, 2019
- Auto v. Pedestrian. Driver 1 attempted to make a left turn into a shopping center and came into the path of Driver 2 who swerved and struck my client walking on the sidewalk, pinning her knee against another car. Client suffered an ACL injury and had surgery. The police report placed Driver 1 solely at fault. Driver 1 had fled the scene and was never found. A claim was filed against Driver 2 and their insurance carrier. The claim was initially denied based on the police report placing Driver 1 solely at fault, then an offer of $25,000 was made pre-litigation. A law suit was filed (although the client was outside the country and could never make it to a deposition or trial). I deposed the officer and two witnesses where the officer's testimony was directly contradicted by the two witnesses. After the depositions, the case settled for $80,000.00, 2019
- Auto v. Auto. Client was a passenger in a car that was involved in a roll over accident. Client was a minor female (14 years old). Treatment consisted of one emergency room visit on the date of loss and and one scar revision plastic surgery consult for a one inch scar near the client's left eye. Howell medical specials approximately $6,000. Third party carrier initially offered $58,500 to settle the case pre-litigation. A second letter demanding policy limits was sent to the third party carrier detailing the risk of exposure to their insured. It appears that the file was referred to outside defense counsel who tendered the policy limit of 100k, 2019
