Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)
- 1.4 Million Dollar verdict against moving truck rental company for negligently maintaining the brakes of the truck which led to the crash that ultimately killed the driver. This was a difficult case to prove because the product was destroyed shortly after the wreck. However, overhead helicopter film was used to show the brake marks were only left from the front brakes. Expert testimony established that had all the brakes been working the vehicle would have stopped prior to the fatal impact. This verdict was recognized as a top ten verdict in Missouri for the 2006 year, 2006
- Highest Plaintiff's jury verdict for the year of 2014 for the state of Missouri in a case where a 38 foot boat exploded into fire causing severe burns to the Plaintiff while he was at the Lake of the Ozarks. The case was tried in Camden County, Missouri and the Plaintiff's verdict was against Brunswick, which is a company that owns several different boat brands and sells boats all over the world, 2014
