Wrongful Death

Woody represented the Estate of a 67 year old Medicare patient who was being transported to her doctor’s office for a routine visit when the driver of the transport van ran off the roadway, collided into a tree, and caused the instant death of the passenger. Initially, the transport company denied responsibility, then claimed it had no coverage, which was a condition of the license it held from the State of North Carolina to provide such services. Woody was undaunted in his efforts to help the heirs of this much-loved grandmother, and eventually succeeded in holding the company responsible.

Wrongful Death

A husband and wife were riding near Wilmington NC, on their motorcycle on a beautiful, clear, fall day. Suddenly, a care turned in front of them, causing a severe collision. The husband died as a result of the collision, and his wife had a hip, leg, and facial injury. We represented the widow in her estate proceeding, and were successful in combining 3 different insurance policies for a combined recovery of $680,000.00. Although no amount of money would ever be enough to replace her lost husband, this recovery will allow her to stay in her home, and aid as she moves on with her life. Because our attorneys are experienced in the complexities of liability and Underinsured insurance coverages, we guided her through this tough time with as favorable an outcome as could be expected, under these difficult circumstances.

Truck Accident

Woody represented the plaintiff who was driving her car home from work along with her mother and young daughter, when she was involved in a head-on collision with an 18-wheeler that was driving in the center turning lane attempting to merge with oncoming traffic. The driver of the 18-wheeler was negligent in that he was moving forward but not looking forward; the defendant was looking in his rearview mirrors and collided with a pickup truck that was lawfully trying to make a left turn from the center lane. That pickup truck then collided with plaintiff’s car causing severe injuries to plaintiff’s arm. Plaintiff has had multiple surgeries, is unable to work at her former job that she had held for 13 years and is now permanently disabled. Woody assisted the plaintiff in recovering $600,000 from the trucking company’s insurance, who was represented by a well-known civil defense attorney.
