Recent case results

Results that change lives.

Defective Guardrail

$5,000,000

Settlement

Single-car accident involving a defective guardrail

A one-car crash can look like a case with no one else to blame. We looked deeper, identified a defective guardrail, and held the responsible parties accountable. Before suit, the defense offered nothing. We secured a $5 million settlement.

Car Accident

$1,500,000

Settlement

Car accident

We secured a $1.5 million recovery for our client after a car accident caused by another driver's negligence.

Negligent Security

$1,000,000

Policy Limits Settlement

Shooting at an apartment complex

Our client was shot at an apartment complex that failed to keep its property reasonably safe. We held the property accountable and recovered the full $1 million policy limits.

Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Amounts are gross recoveries before fees and expenses.
