Mesothelioma / Asbestos

After working with materials containing asbestos that the defendants knew caused terminal cancer but did nothing to correct, this gentleman was diagnosed with mesothelioma. After a long, agonizing and painful battle, he ultimately passed away from the cancer caused by his exposure to asbestos. This jury verdict included an award for punitive damages based upon the defendants’ conduct.

$875,000

Motorcycle Accident

Our client, a motorcyclist, was violently broadsided by an elderly driver. Our client suffered numerous injuries, which included multiple fractures of his right hand, wrist and scapula. The at-fault party’s insurance company originally argued comparative fault and offered a relatively minor settlement, stating they did not believe future surgery was necessary. Obviously, the defense’s claims held little merit.

$800,000

Dog Bite

Our client, a young girl, was viciously mauled by a family friend’s American Staffordshire Terrier as her mother and brother watched in horror. Our client suffered severe lacerations and post-traumatic stress. The at-fault party’s insurance company originally argued our client provoked the attack but later realized such an argument lacked merit. The case settled on the eve of trial.

$550,000

Car Accident

An elderly couple was hit by a drunk driver that was ultimately sent to state prison. Both of our clients suffered serious injuries and were hospitalized for weeks. We successfully negotiated a settlement for the policy limits as well as a substantial reduction in our client’s medical bills allowing the clients to recover the significant settlement they deserved.

$250,000

Car Accident

Shortly after the outset of the global pandemic, our client, who was a passenger in a friend’s vehicle, was injured when her friend lost control and the vehicle slammed into a light pole. Finding it extremely difficult to obtain medical care on her own, Cohn & Swartzon assisted our client in obtaining much needed medical care when, except for emergency care, was nearly nonexistent. The case resolved for all available policy limits and we were able to help our client get back on her feet again.
