Top Settlements and Verdicts
A 30-year-old individual sustained severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury (TBI), neck, and back injuries, in a collision that was not their fault. While driving through a green light, they were unexpectedly T-boned by a vehicle making an unsafe left turn, causing their head to be struck by an airbag upon deployment. Despite their resilience, their life was profoundly impacted, with doctors diagnosing cognitive impairment as a result of the crash, affecting their daily life and lifetime earning potential. This diagnosis was corroborated by three treating doctors, as well as testimony from their friends, family, and church pastor. Despite constant attempts by the defense to downplay the injuries, our legal team successfully conveyed the true extent of the impact during trial, resulting in a favorable verdict. This outcome underscores our unwavering dedication to advocating for justice and fair compensation for our clients.
Our client was traveling in the far-right lane on the interstate when our client noticed that the defendant, operating an 18-wheeler behind her, was not controlling its speed. The defendant attempted to merge into the service lane and rear-ended our client.
A truck driver made an unsafe lane change and took out the front axle of the car in front of our client's vehicle, causing that vehicle to stop suddenly and for our clients to hit the vehicle in front of them from behind. Further investigation revealed the driver was poorly trained, not adequately vetted, and put on the road by a trucking company with a bad history that failed to supervise their drivers.
Our client was traveling on the interstate when a concrete truck, driving erratically, failed to stop and rear-ended our client, pushing her vehicle into the car in front of her. Following the wreck, our client had neck and back MRIs, and we were able to compare them with neck and back MRIs taken three years earlier. The imaging showed a significant difference in those same areas. Our client suffered losses in commissions and wages from the injuries she suffered. Criminal records were found on the driver, and the company was found to have 100% out of service rates, which contributed to achieving a larger settlement.
Our client, a veteran, was involved in an accident where we successfully settled for five times the policy limits. This amounted to three times the medical bills incurred by our client. Importantly, our client received more in her pocket than the total policy limits of the at-fault party, ensuring she received fair compensation for her injuries and damages. This outcome reflects our commitment to achieving favorable results for our clients, especially those who have served our country.
A pop-up barrier gate was erroneously deployed by electrical contractors, impacting the front of our client's car as she entered the parking lot of her workplace. The company and the electrician they fired blamed each other. Our client suffered a neck injury and a concussion.
