Representative Cases

  • Car accident - Seven-figure settlement for serious foot injuries following a broadside collision between a Corvette and an SUV that failed to yield while turning left.  
  • Medical malpratice - Seven-figure settlement in case against a dentist and hospital for family whose 16-year old daughter died after jaw surgery.
  • Motorcycle accident - In a pick-up truck versus motorcycle accident, our client sustained multiple and serious leg and arm fractures. The claim against the driver recovered his policy limits and, likewise, we obtained policy limits from the client's underinsurance company. To obtain additional compensation for the client, we pursued a claim against the personal assets of the responsible driver, who ultimately settled and agreed to pay significant personal monies and to have that promise secured by a mortgage on his personal residence.
  • Medical malpractice - Settlement of a case involving an operating room fire that occurred during surgery to remove a facial mole. The surgeon and anesthesiologist failed to communicate about giving the patient oxygen and using an electric cautery tool in combination.  Claim for damages involving first and second degree facial burns. Settled just before trial.
  • Car versus horse collision - Successfully represented a driver injured after her car collided with horses that had escaped from a breeding farm due to the negligent design and maintenance of the farm's fencing. Recovered compensation for past and future medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.
  • Dangerous products - A construction worker who was seriously injured when a nail gun misfired and shot a 3" nail into his chest. Legal claims were filed against the nail gun manufacturer alleging that the nail gun was defective and dangerous because it did not have a safety switch. Case settled prior to trial.
