$33M+ Won For Our Clients
The client’s loved one suffered a fatal injury in an auto collision that resulted in over $382,000 in medical bills. Acting as the family’s second attorney, we navigated difficult policy-limit issues and secured a $1,000,000 settlement. While the case had greater overall value and the family would have liked a higher recovery, they chose to settle to avoid prolonged litigation and move forward.
In this wrongful death case, the client’s loved one was tragically killed while crossing the street as a pedestrian when struck by an inattentive driver. The collision caused fatal injuries, including massive brain hemorrhage and associated fractures.
Medical bills totaled approximately $89,000, and we pursued justice on behalf of the family. While we could have accepted the policy limits earlier, the family wanted to ensure accountability. Through extensive negotiations, we secured $600,000, including $100,000 the at-fault party paid out of pocket above policy limits to settle the case and provide the family with meaningful closure.
The client’s loved one tragically choked to death. With medical bills of $1,300, we pursued the family’s claim and negotiated a $140,000 settlement to cover medical and funeral-related costs and provide the family with timely compensation so they could move forward without prolonged litigation.
