Specific Experience:

I helped a 68 year old woman whose quality of life diminished following an auto collision in which she suffered injury to her low back. She was seen in the emergency room and diagnosed with a minor pelvic fracture. After the fracture healed, she experienced continued difficulty putting weight on her right leg. We referred our client to a medical doctor specializing in spine injuries. The doctor ordered MRI studies that showed herniated discs, which made it painful for our client to walk. We offered to settle the claim for $100,000. The insurance company offered $50,000. We tried the case. The jury returned a verdict directing the defendants to pay our client $425,000 plus interest for what she had lost and what she would need in the future. We helped our client establish a trust to manage her settlement proceeds. The trust will pay for care that our client will need in future years.

I helped a geophysicist who was T-boned at an intersection by a seventeen year old horse trainer. Our client’s head hit the driver’s window, resulting in a skull fracture and brain hemorrhage. He was in the hospital for 14 days, then developed severe headaches, sleep disorder, cognitive problems, and other issues that resulted in FAA revoking his pilot’s license. The horse trainer had a $100,000 auto liability policy, which her insurance company paid. I was able to prove that the horse trainer was on duty for her employer at the time of the crash, and we reached an additional settlement with her employer’s insurance company for $335,000. Our client worked hard in therapy. He returned to his job as a geophysicist, and eventually re-qualified for his pilot license.
