Major Case Results:

My colleague and I successfully secured a $21 million guaranteed structured settlement, with a present value of $5.5 million in 2012 for a youngchild and her parents, after she suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident caused by a truck driver who smashed in to the family’s car.

$2.3 Million jury verdict for a child who suffered a life-altering shoulder injury while the mother was giving birth. I took this case to trial and the jury determined that the nurse-midwife was negligent in her care of the mother during the birthing process.
