The Case:

Our attorneys successfully negotiated a settlement for a 2-year-old boy who suffered head injuries in an accident. The injuries were relatively minor, given his very young age, and after periodic monitoring for six months with a doctor he was fully discharged.

Awarded:
The facts of his case were similar to many accidents and the ultimate settlement was an amount that was appropriate for the nature and type of injuries the child suffered.
The Case:

The aftermath of the accident was that our client went to the hospital with a broken leg that required surgical repair. He had no health insurance and big, outstanding medical bills. He was also credited with causing the accident and charged with reckless driving by the officer who arrived at the accident and conducted the investigation.

Awarded:

Shortly after we sent the video and screen capture along with a revised demand letter, we were able to force a settlement for enough money to satisfy the outstanding medical billings, the client’s lost wages and money for his pain and suffering. In this case a photo was worth not only a thousand words, but instead also worth many thousands and thousands of dollars.

Awarded:

Once we were able to prove this chain of events, which was done without an expert, we were able to settle our client’s case for an appropriate value given the nature of her injuries for an amount that was more than fair given the nature of her injuries and the conduct of the driver in calling into question or client’s correct version of events.

The Case:

We were contacted by an active duty Army sergeant who was injured when a truck cut off his motorcycle and he, too, sustained serious injuries to his leg. He was required to undergo a number of surgical procedures and, when he contacted us, the military was in the process of assessing whether he needed to be medically discharged seven months shy of 20 years in service and retirement.
