Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results)

• $545,000 | Wrongful Death — Represented by Christina Stone at Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, our client died when he was struck by a car while standing in the roadway directing traffic so a dump truck could back into the driveway at a job site.  This case had significant liability challenges, as our client had volunteered to help direct traffic and was not acting within the scope of his employment.  Although the defendant’s insurance company argued that our client should not have been in the roadway, we were able to successfully argue the Doctrine of Last Clear Chance and recovered the policy limits of $50,000 under the policy. We presented a claim to our client’s underinsured coverage, which was a business policy. After arguing with the insurance company that our client should be covered under the policy for this incident, we recovered $375,000 under the policy. Finally, we presented a claim to the dump truck’s insurance company, arguing that their driver shared some responsibility for this loss by creating the traffic conditions in the roadway that morning that our client was attempting to assist with.  We recovered $120,000 from the dump truck’s insurance, bringing the total recovery to $545,000 for our client’s surviving family., 2025
• $350,000 | Auto Accident — Represented by attorney Christina Stone of Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, our client, a 17-year-old female, was seriously injured when the defendant driver crossed the center line and hit our client’s vehicle head-on. Our client sustained an open heal fracture with a crush injury and nerve damage. We recovered a policy limits offer of $100,000 from the at-fault driver’s insurance. Our investigation also revealed that the at-fault driver had an umbrella policy that covered him at the time of the accident. We presented a claim to the umbrella policy and were able to secure an additional $250,000 for our client, bringing the total recovery to $350,000., 2025
• $1,500,000 | Auto Accident — The client, represented by attorneys Christina Stone and Darren Dawson of Riddle & Riddle Injury Lawyers, suffered a fractured femur and tibia, a head laceration, concussion, and incontinence when a vehicle in front of her made an illegal U-turn causing a collision. Our client underwent three extensive surgeries leaving multiple scars on her legs. We hired a professional videographer to comprise a day-in-the-life video where our client and her mother recounted the struggles of her recovery. We retained a life care planner to identify our client’s residual medical conditions and ongoing care requirements, and an economic loss expert to document past and future wage loss. Through extensive preparation and pre-trial discussions with the responsible insurance carrier, we were able to resolve the claim with a $1.5 million settlement for our client., 2024
