A 35-year-old physician was riding his motorcycle along a main road when a car struck him from the left after coming down an off-ramp from a highway.  The driver of the other car told the investing police officers that she had stopped at the stop sign at the bottom of the ramp before moving cautiously forward.  The client disputed this version of events, relating that the other driver appeared to ignore the stop sign.  As a result of the impact the client suffered a fractured leg.  Investigation revealed that the driver of the car did not have any assets to satisfy any judgment that might be obtained.  Soon after suit was filed, the case settled for $100,000, the offending driver’s full insurance policy limits.

After bracing for the impending impact, the client s foot was thrust up and under the dashboard area, resulting in a fractured toe.  While on crutches, the injured client was not allowed to participate in his clinical rotation at a teaching hospital, resulting in a one-year delay in graduation, and the consequent loss of one year s salary.  With the help of an expert in medical economics, the case settled for the offending driver s full insurance policy limits of $100,000 without the need of filing suit.

A 58-year-old salesman was stopped at a red light when he was rear-ended by an SUV driven by a 17-year-old high school student.  The plaintiff did not complain of any symptoms at the scene and did not go to the hospital until later that day.  After five and one-half years of conservative treatment with chiropractors, physical therapists, and massage therapists, he was operated on by a neurosurgeon for a herniated cervical disk.  The defendant did not dispute that he had been at fault for the accident, but contended that the impact only caused temporary soft tissue injuries that had resolved in less than a year.  In support of his position, the defendant pointed to past medical records that revealed a longstanding history of degenerative disc disease in the Plaintiff s spine with multiple disc herniations.  The case settled for $160,000 after mediation two weeks before trial was set to begin.

In the days following the draining, black seepage and noxious odors emanated from the drainage site.  After emergency transport to the emergency room, the client patient was diagnosed with flesh-eating bacteria, necessitating several surgeries over several months.  Several months before the scheduled trial, the client died of unrelated causes.  The client s Estate recovered $200,000.

When the discussion became heated, the client asked the visitor to leave.  When the visitor refused to leave voluntarily, the client attempted to eject him, walking him to the front door and onto the landing of the front steps.  The visitor persisted in his refusal to leave, and ultimately the client and his former employee both fell down the front stairs.  The client suffered a fractured ankle in the fall, necessitating three surgeries on his ankle.  Suit was brought against the unwelcome visitor.  The case settled for $225,000 on the morning of the first day of trial.

After stumbling for several feet, his head impacted the exterior brick wall of the building.  The force of the impact necessitated surgery to the spinal column in his neck.  There were no witnesses to the incident.  Suit was brought against the owners of the building and the company that had installed the walkway.  The defendants claimed that the injured client had not fallen in the manner he had described, but rather that he had tripped on a curb, as described the responding paramedics in the ambulance report.  The defendants further claimed that even if the injured client had tripped as described, any gap in the walkway was minimal but obvious to anyone who was watching where he was walking.  The case settled for $275,000 following a full day of mediation shortly before trial was set to begin.
$275,000 Defective Premises - Herniated Cervical Disc
A 75-year old retired husband and father was recovering from a massive stroke when he was scheduled to begin a course of physical therapy and speech therapy at the defendant day rehabilitation center.  The plaintiff contended that the facility s professional staff, including the defendant speech therapist, knew or should have known of the plaintiff s documented cognitive impairments, including diminished short-term memory and attention deficit.  According to the medical records, at his second visit the wheelchair-bound plaintiff propelled himself down a hallway after the speech therapist had gone behind a partition to make some notes, without first alerting the therapist.  When the plaintiff was discovered missing, a search of the facility ensued.  The plaintiff was ultimately found on the floor of a bathroom that had not been properly outfitted for wheelchair-bound patients.  Soon afterward the plaintiff was diagnosed with a broken hip from the fall in the bathroom, and underwent hip replacement surgery without any residual mobility problems.  The defendant facility contended that its patients, including the plaintiff at his first visit, were routinely left alone, and that if the facility had been made aware of any impulsivity, it would have required the plaintiff s wife to supervise the plaintiff between the same-day physical therapy and speech therapy sessions.  Shortly following the filing of a lawsuit, the parties agreed to engage in a full day of mediation, after which the case settled for $125,000.

$875,000 Wrongful Death - Drowning in Liquid Sewage
A 38-year-old single laborer, one of several brothers in a close-knit family, was working on a sewerage pipe re-lining project when he was caused to be thrust, feet-first, approximately 150 feet down an enclosed sewerage pipe buried underground.  While he was able to hold his breath for several minutes, he eventually succumbed, and was forced to inhale liquid sewage into his lungs and stomach.  The defendant company was reported to have had safety equipment at the site to protect workers from such tragedies, but did not enforce its use.  Following in-court testimony from a forensic pathologist and the client's grief-stricken mother, the Court entered judgment against the defendant company.
