Auto Accident

$1,000,000 Awarded to Man Rear-ended in Auto Accident In 2000, Oceanside personal injury lawyer Russell Kohn recovered $1,000,000 for a 50-year-old man seriously injured in a rear-end auto collision. As a result of the accident, the man suffered extensive neck and back injuries and required surgery. He continued to suffer severe pain, mild cognitive impairment, depression, and insomnia which led to two suicide attempts. The defendant claimed that another automobile pulled abruptly from the curb into his path, causing him to swerve and collide with the plaintiff's vehicle. The defendant also argued that the severity of the plaintiff's injuries was not consistent with the minimal damage the plaintiff's vehicle sustained.

Wrongful Death

$1,000,000 Recovery for Wrongful Death of Brother In December 2017, Kohn Law Office in association with Skolnick Law Group obtained a $1,000,000 settlement just weeks before trial for the brother of a 63-year-old disabled man who was struck and killed by defendant's vehicle when the 89-year-old defendant driver lost control of his truck and drove onto the walkway hitting the man in his wheelchair outside the emergency room entrance at the new Palomar Hospital in Escondido, CA. This settlement was split as follows: $500,000 paid by underlying carrier USAA Insurance Co., $500,000 paid by the umbrella carrier, Scottsdale Insurance Co. This is believed to be the largest wrongful death recovery for a single sibling in San Diego County history.

Auto Accident

In 2022, Mr. Kohn represented an Air Force Servicemember who sustained back and neck injuries from a rear-end vehicle collision. As a result of the injuries sustained from the collision, the client required back surgery on his lumbar spine and an artificial disc replacement on the L4-5 disc. A major component of the case was that the client had significant pre-existing neck and back complaints from his time in the Air Force. Despite the defense originally trying to lowball the settlement due to the client's pre-existing conditions, with the help of some legal magic, Mr. Kohn was able to force State Farm to increase its $25,000 offer to their $1,000,000 policy limit before trial. Despite his pre-existing condition, Mr. Kohn was able to get the settlement that the client deserved for the injuries he sustained from the accident.

Auto Accident

$840,000 Settlement for Motor Vehicle Accident Victims In this case, Mr. Kohn helped an injured couple recover approximately $125,000 in medical expenses as well as $715,000 in additional compensation for injuries sustained in a collision with a vehicle operated by an army attorney. The defendant pulled away from a stop sign and made a left turn in the path of the plaintiffs' oncoming vehicle. As a result of the accident, the 50-year-old wife suffered neck, shoulder, and back injuries which required three major surgeries to correct. The defendant, represented by the United States government, contended that one of the needed surgeries could not be traced to the collision. After two settlement hearings, the couple was able to obtain compensation for medical expenses as well as the costs of future, necessary surgeries, and lost wages for both the wife and husband.
