Notable Settlements and Verdicts

$1,000,000.00 For a man whose leg was broken when a negligent driver made a sudden left hand turn in front of his vehicle. Our client spent seven days in the hospital following this accident and underwent multiple surgeries to repair his broken leg. This case was settled prior to jury selection.

$990,000.00  For a construction worker who fell from the back of a cement truck and landed on a steel reinforcement bar at a construction site. The reinforcement bar was negligently left uncapped, thus creating a dangerous condition. If the re-bar had been capped, our client wouldn't have sustained the injuries he did.

$900,000.00- For a carpenter who fell from a scaffold at a construction site. Our client sustained a fractured heel when he fell from a scaffold that was negligently erected. When our client began to work on the scaffold, the scaffold moved, causing our client to lose his balance and fall 12 feet to the ground below. Two other workers at the construction site witnessed the incident. Our office met with the witnesses within one week of our client's fall and secured statements that were instrumental in winning this case. This case shows how important it is to hire attorneys who will do a timely and thorough investigation following an accident.

$1,350,000.00- For a husband and his wife, who were both injured when a car traveling the wrong way down a one way street collided with their vehicle. Both plaintiff's sustained very serious injuries, including spinal injuries and knee injuries. This case was settled prior to jury selection.

$410,000.00  For an elderly woman who tripped and fell over an extension cord that was being used by a construction company. One of th workers for the company improperly ran the extension cord from an electrical outlet over a public walkway. The cord was not secured or taped to the ground, and our client tripped over the cord and fractured her hop and wrist. The insurance company for the defendant argued that the woman's injuries were not worth much because she was elderly. The highest offer made prior to jury selection was $200,000. Once we picked a jury, the offer was more than doubled. We were prepared to try this case to a verdict, and it was this preparation that forced the defendant to finally offer a fair amount of money to settle.

$850,000.00  For a woman who was injured when a negligent driver made a sudden left turn in front of her car. The woman's leg was broken, and she had to undergo multiple surgeries to repair the damage. Believe it or not the lawyers for the defendant driver tried to argue that our client should have been able to avoid the accident. In the minutes before jury selection, they finally offered a fair amount to settle this case.
