$1.6M
Construction Site Incident
Represented a temp agency worker who had been assigned to a factory posting. Factory employees had improperly rigged a large roll of material which fell from a crane, causing the worker serious leg injuries. We filed suit against the factory’s owner alleging multiple theories of liability. We were able to resolve the case for $1.6 million with trial approaching and after extensive discovery and trial preparation.
$1.7M
Complex Traumatic Brain Injury
Settlement for $1.675 million when our client suffered a complex traumatic brain injury in a motor vehicle collision. The case required extensive investigation and selection of experts, from regional and national experts in brain injuries and advanced brain imaging, to a highly specialized and internationally recognized inner ear surgeon.
$1.5M
Construction Site Injury
Settlement for $1.5 million on a complex construction site case. Client was a scaffolding subcontractor, working on a major commercial project. The general contractor and upper-tier subcontractor allowed unsafe fall protection systems; a guardrail collapsed. The resulting fall fractured client’s arm, and it left him with permanent impairment.
$2M
Childhood Sexual Abuse
On May 30, 2025, a Clark County jury returned a $2 million verdict in favor of our client, Nicolle Sheaves, who courageously pursued justice for an incident of sexual assault she endured in 1988 when she was a young girl at the hands of her step-father, Christopher Deege. Nicolle found the strength to bring her claim forward, and the jury firmly believed her testimony and understood the harm it caused to her. This verdict not only validates Nicolle’s experience but also sends a powerful message that survivors of childhood sexual assault have a voice and that justice is possible, even decades later. We are honored to have represented Nicolle in this case.
$1M
Motorcycle Crash
Represented person who suffered life-altering injuries while riding a motorcycle. Recovered full extent of insurance policy limit available - $1 million.
$7.6M
Worksite Injury
$7,602,179 in jury verdicts from trial of a Federal Court case, Eastern District of Washington, Spokane, after a 55-day jury trial litigating the cause and extent of injury from toxic chemical exposure to multiple workers charged with cleaning up a worksite. The jury’s verdict was later modified by post-trial rulings and further on appeal to 9th Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals.
