The case settled at trial for $2.38 million.

Our client tragically lost her life after her kidneys failed and she developed severe infections throughout her body.

The crash also caused a concussion to her young child, who was transported by ambulance for emergency evaluation. Liability is clear, and the case centers on the profound, life-altering harm caused by a single preventable collision.

After the company ignored repeated demands to fix the harm, we uncovered evidence of fraud and financial elder abuse. Following years of hard-fought litigation, we secured a confidential settlement that brought justice to the family.

We represented a woman who suffered serious neck and shoulder injuries after being rear-ended while slowing to avoid a dangerous roadway situation. Although the defense tried to minimize the crash and blame her symptoms on age-related changes, the evidence showed the collision caused lasting injuries requiring ongoing pain management and a future shoulder replacement. After building a strong medical and liability record, we positioned the case for resolution that reflects the true impact on her life and future care needs.
