Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)
- The husband of our client was shot and killed outside a bar. He was trying to stop a fight that began in the bar parking lot. We filed a wrongful death suit against the bar alleging that previous problems on the property put the bar on notice it should have had better security, and it should have prevented and or broken up the fight. The damages awarded in the verdict to the man’s wife and young child included pain and suffering and economic damages., 2019
