Motorcycle Accident

A motorcycle rider was traveling through an intersection when the defendant failed to stop for a stop sign. The resulting T-bone collision caused severe injury to the motorcyclist, including but not limited to a fractured right femur, fractured left tibia, transected/torn thoracic aorta, fractured ribs, lacerated spleen, left knee torn ACL, and severe injury to the soft tissues of the back and neck. Medical treatment involved orthopedic surgeries and an open-heart procedure to repair the aorta. This man was a veteran, so a portion of his medical care was received from the VA and a portion of his care from private medical providers.

D.L.M., a 17-year-old, was killed while walking home from his girlfriend’s home. Angry at her boyfriend, the girlfriend used her parents’ vehicle in an attempt to scare D.L.M. The girlfriend claimed to have lost control of the vehicle and accidentally struck D.L.M. at a high rate of speed. He died at the scene of the accident, leaving behind his mother, father, and his twin brother. The girlfriend left the scene of the accident and later tried to hide the accident, claiming that the damage to her parents’ vehicle was the result of striking a fence. D.L.M.’s parents brought a lawsuit against the girl for the wrongful death of their son. They also sued her parents for negligent entrustment of the vehicle to her when it was learned that the daughter should not have been given the keys due to multiple prior traffic violations.

Truck Accident Car Accident

A 29-year-old career Army soldier sustained a fractured pelvis in a trucking accident when the driver of his car swerved to miss a Prime semi truck that was illegally parked on a highway entrance ramp. When the driver swerved, he lost control and spun onto the highway and into the path of oncoming traffic. The vehicle was struck, resulting in a multi-vehicle collision. The client filed a lawsuit against Prime Trucking when it was learned that the company’s driver had experienced multiple mechanical failures prior to stopping on the highway entrance ramp. The driver had been instructed by the company to continue operating the truck despite knowing it was not safe to do so. The Prime truck eventually broke down on a dangerous, blind curve.

Distracted Driving Pedestrian Accident

This was a collision between a vehicle and pedestrian, as the Plaintiff crossed the street in the cross walk during daylight hours. The evidence was that the driver became distracted by her cell phone as she approached the intersection and did not see the traffic light turn red. The pedestrian was in the middle of crossing when it became apparent the vehicle was not going to stop. She tried to get clear to avoid being struck, but the vehicle was moving too fast. The impact threw her to the ground and she received injuries to her head, neck and back.

Rear-end Car Accident

The defendant was driving too fast in heavy traffic and wet road conditions, resulting in her sliding and striking the plaintiff from the rear. This caused a whiplash injury and approximately $1,300 in medical costs. The Plaintiff had to continue working at her very physical job in considerable pain. The insurance company initially denied the claim because the plaintiff “stopped too fast” and because she did not get “immediate’ medical care. At trial, the defendant and her attorney continually pointed their finger elsewhere. They blamed the plaintiff for slowing down, blamed the traffic ahead of the Plaintiff, and even blamed the “move over” law. In the end, the jury saw the truth and held the defense responsible.
