18-WHEELER WRECK
Client was traveling with his son on Interstate 75 when an 18 wheeler crossed the median and struck their truck head-on. The client suffered multiple fractures to his leg and arm, both of which required internal hardware (rods).
$3,300,000 Leg Fracture with Rod Placement and Arm Fracture with Rod Placement, Multiple Surgeries
TRUCK WRECK
Client stopped for an emergency vehicle and was hit by a large construction truck. She sustained a laceration to her head, injured her neck and jaw, both of which required surgery. She also sustained a mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI). Her injury was heavily disputed. Other defenses included that her neck and jaw conditions were pre-existing and most likely caused by two prior accidents. After extensive litigation, the case resolved shortly before trial.
$1,250,000 MTBI, Cervical Fusion, TMJ Surgery
REAR-END ACCIDENT
Client was exiting Interstate 75, attempting to merge off, when he was rear-ended. Due to the position of his body, the impact forced his face into the side window of his car causing a rupture of his left eye. The eye was subsequently removed. The case resolved after being litigated.
$1,050,000 Left Eye Rupture and Removal
T-BONE WRECK
Client was on his way to work as a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. A car pulled out from a side street causing the client's car to t-bone the at-fault car. Client suffered multiple fractures to his lower leg (tibia and fibula) and near the ankle and a fractured knee cap (patella). His knee cap was surgically removed and his leg fractures were treated with external hardware. There is a good probability his ankle will need to be fused in the future. His injuries caused him to be disabled from his work as a Postal Carrier. The case resolved shortly before trial.
$1,000,000 Fractures of Lower Leg and Knee
