Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)
- My clients were injured when their vehicle was struck in the back by a box truck. The case settled at pre-suit mediation for $550,000., 2020
- My client's thumb was severely injured when a go-kart tire exploded. His thumb was partially amputated, but surgically re-attached resulting in just over $35,000 in medical bills. The case settled prior to litigation for $750,000., 2020
- My client's car was struck from the back by a drunk driver. My client sustained a severe back injury. The defendant alleged that the impact could not have possibly caused my client's injury. The case settled during litigation for $250,000., 2018
- My client was a passenger in a vehicle that struck a pickup truck that turned left in front of her car. My client sustained multiple broken bones in her head, face, and limbs. There was a dispute as to which driver was at fault for the accident. The case settled after mediation for $760,000., 2018
- My client was hit from the back by an inattentive driver. The impact damaged my client's surgically implanted hardware in her cervical spine. The insurance company argued that my client was not injured as a result of the accident, but was instead suffering pain from the surgery she had nearly fifteen years prior. The case resolved for $350,000., 2018
- My client was struck head-on by a driver who crossed the center line. My client sustained a severe fracture in her foot, which required surgery and fusion of the bones. The insurance company attempted to minimize the extent of the client's injury and allege that she was also inattentive. The case resolved for $440,000., 2017
- My client was injured at a neighborhood event when other attendees negligently shot fireworks into a crowd of on-lookers. He sustained a burn to his ankle, which required surgical intervention. The Defendants alleged that my client assumed the risk by attending the amateur firework show. In litigation, I was able to determine that the people lighting the fireworks had been drinking and the case resolved for $86,000., 2016
- My client was injured when she slipped and fell in a puddle of water inside a major fast-food restaurant. She underwent a surgical repair of her right knee. The Defendant argued that they were not negligent and that the client's injuries were pre-existing. After depositions, the case settled for $80,000., 2016
- My client was injured while legally crossing a busy street, not in a crosswalk. He was struck by a passing car and sustained a fractured leg. The insurance company alleged that my client was at-fault for illegally crossing the street and failing to look before crossing. After speaking with two independent witnesses and researching the law, I was able to prove that my client was legally able to cross in the location he chose and that it was the Defendant driver's inattention that caused the crash. The case quickly settled without litigation for the total policy limits of $100,000., 2014
