Case Results

Recently our firm was able to negotiate a very favorable settlement of 2.4 million dollars for one of our clients. After years of extensive discovery, mediations and attempts at settlement, the insurance company, on the eve of trial, finally offered our client a fair settlement. The client had suffered very significant injuries in a motorcycle accident. After the accident the client endured years of surgeries, medical treatments and therapies. Despite the excellent medical care, the client was left with many residual problems. After depositions, we had argued that, as a matter of law, the defendants were 100% responsible for the accident. The Judge agreed and granted our request to find the defendants fully responsible for the accident. This was a significant victory because it meant that the main issue at trial would be limited to the amount of damages the client was entitled to. With the use of various experts hired by our firm, including an economist and life care planner, we were able to paint a picture that fully described the impact that this accident had on the life of our client. Our client was very physically active and adventurous before the accident. We were able to demonstrate this to the insurance company by photographs and videos previously take of the client. This settlement will allow the client to obtain all necessary medical treatment in the future.
