DLG For Me

$3.9M

Medical Malpractice

A young woman with colon cancer symptoms was given improper screening tests by her family doctor. A radiologist who viewed one of the patient’s x-rays overlooked the small tumor in the patient’s colon that, had it been called out, would have required a much less invasive surgery for the patient. The doctor altered her medical records in an attempt to conceal the evidence, but DLG For Me secured a $3.9 million verdict on the patient’s behalf.

$8M

Workplace Injury

A factory plant worker sustained third degree burns over 75% of his body and severe related injuries from an explosion and fire at work. The defendant employer claimed employer immunity. DLG For Me lawyers demonstrated several instances where the employer’s conduct fell into the narrow exception to employer immunity, resulting in the largest known settlement or verdict in the history of Ohio’s Employer Immunity Act.

$6.6M

Truck Accident

While driving through a mountain pass, a truck driver for a national trucking company jackknifed his truck into stopped traffic, killing a married couple in another vehicle. The trucking company presented an Act of God defense, claiming a sudden snow storm temporarily obscured his ability to see the road and caused him to jackknife the truck. After nearly four years of litigation, DLG for Me defeated the trucker’s Act of God defense and obtained $6.6 million for the survivors.

$1.3M

Wrongful Death

A school bus driver on his route unlawfully entered an intersection and crashed into a car, killing a nurse driving to work at a local hospital. The bus driver was not cited and claimed he had the green light, but DLG For Me used forensic evidence and modeling to establish that the bus driver was at fault for the fatal crash and won the survivors a $1.26 million verdict.

$1.5M

Wrongful Death

A little girl playing near the street in front of her home was struck and killed by a van transporting customers from a local car dealership. The child was plainly visible to drivers at the time of the accident, and DLG For Me reconstructed the tragedy and used reaction times to establish that the driver would have been able to stop in time had he been paying attention to the road. DLG For Me secured the survivors a $1.5 million settlement before a lawsuit was filed.

$3.5M

Truck Accident

While driving on a wintery night, a truck driver for a national trucking company encountered deteriorating road conditions of snow and ice. As the truck driver attempted to slow his vehicle, he lost control and crossed the median, striking and killing the driver of a car in oncoming traffic. DLG For Me overcame the trucking company’s Sudden Emergency defense and secured the survivors a $3.5 million settlement.
