Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)
- A $1,510,000 settlement for our client, a cyclist, was crossing the street at a four-way lighted intersection when he was hit by a motor vehicle that did not see him. Our client had significant and life-changing injuries and medical treatment as a result of the collision. He had severe blood loss, multiples fractures through his body, and an acute kidney injury. At the hospital he was transferred to the surgical intensive care unit as his condition continued to deteriorate to the point of septic shock. Fortunately, his condition did improve over time, and he spent weeks performing therapy in outpatient therapy. The client’s own insurance company initially denied liability in covering the incident, but eventually Miles Hickman and the team at Roman Austin were able to collect over seven figures in insurance benefits from the client’s insurance, 2023

During the course of years of treatment, our client underwent three surgeries to her arms and hand. The initial offer from the insurance company was $162,000.

Despite an initial offer of just $20,000, we pushed for justice and secured a $425,000 verdict. Our personal injury attorneys and the rest of the team put up the fight our client deserved and got them more than 20X the initial offer!, 2024
- A $500,000 settlement was obtained for our client who was driving her vehicle in the far-right hand turn lane of a multi-lane road, when another vehicle swerved in front of her vehicle, braked abruptly, and caused significant front-end damage to the client’s vehicle. The client’s vehicle sustained $9,194.61 in property damage.

This resulted in over $20,000 of property damage to the client’s vehicle. The client sustained injuries to her spine. The at-fault party had minimal coverage but luckily the client was protected with uninsured motorist coverage at the time of the incident.

- $100,000 Settlement - Husband and wife were involved in a high-speed impact rear end collision.

Both husband and wife had significant spinal injuries but received initial offers of less than $20,000. After filing a lawsuit and continuing to put pressure on the at-fault party’s insurance carrier, the team at Roman Austin was able to get the insurance company to pay the full policy limits for both of their cases, 2023
