Over $7 Million Recovered – Product malfunction
We successfully recovered over $7 million for our client who was catastrophically injured as a result of a product malfunction.
$5.25 Million Verdict - Pedestrian hit by Car
An elderly pedestrian in excess of 70 years old was standing on a sidewalk with his wife when he was struck by a car. The car had been rear ended by a truck that was following too closely. Our client suffered a catastrophic brain injury and required 24-hour attendant care. The case proceeded to trial so that our client could access the insurance policies of both vehicles. Notwithstanding that the truck was following too closely, we were able to convince a jury that the driver of the car was 20% at fault for making a last second decision to turn right, without any prior warning.
$2.9 Million Settlement - Pedestrian hit by Car
A pedestrian was struck by a car as she stepped out on the road to get around another car that was blocking the sidewalk she was on. Both the insurers of the car that struck her and the car that was blocking the sidewalk contributed to the settlement.
$2.74 Million Settlement – Traumatic Brain Injury
A teenager who suffered a serious traumatic brain injury in a car crash settled at mediation. With the assistance of evidence developed by a Human Factors Expert and Accident Reconstruction Engineer, we were able to successfully obtain a significant contribution towards the settlement from a driver that waived the plaintiff’s vehicle into the intersection and from the car that struck them that had the right of way.
