Slip/Fall and Medical Negligence

Our client slipped and fell while walking up an airline ramp at a local airport. The ramp had been wet from recent rain, causing our client to lose his balance and tear his hamstring. Subsequently, during the hamstring repair procedure, the operating surgeon botched the surgery, causing nerve damage to our client’s leg. This nerve damage led to leg pain, numbness, loss of sensation, and even gait instability, making him a future fall risk. A suit was filed against the airline, ramp manufacturer and operating surgeon for their respective liability. Ultimately, after significant litigation, these three entities agreed to a combined $1.6 million settlement for our client’s injuries, wage loss, and pain and suffering.

Auto v. Truck

Our client and his son were rear-ended at high speed by a commercial tow truck while traveling on the southbound 57 freeway. Our client required surgeries to the neck and back as a result of the collision. The insurance company made a prelitigation settlement offer for a mere $5,000, which we roundly rejected. Ultimately, the insurance company tendered a $3,000,000 settlement offer for our client’s medical expenses and pain and suffering.

Slip-And-Fall

In this case, the client was injured in a fall at a retail store in Orange County, California. He was injured when directed by a store employee to help him move a heavy box carrying a lounge chair he intended to purchase. Our client, an elderly individual, was injured in the process of attempting to move the box, falling onto a wine rack. As a result, he suffered significant neck, back and knee injuries that required months of rehabilitation. In spite of significant prior spine injuries, the retail establishment still tendered our client a six-figure settlement.

$250,000

Auto v. Pedestrian - Wrongful Death

We obtained the $250,000 policy limits on a case where our clients’ mother, an 85-year-old woman, was hit by a car while walking on a local road. The police report had listed our clients’ mother as the at-fault party for jaywalking, and further, the driver’s insurance company failed to take responsibility for the death. Our office made certain that the police report was not the final word, and we worked to make the insurance carrier pay out its full $250,000 policy limits for the wrongful death.

Auto Accident

Auto v. Auto

$100,000

Auto Accident

Our client was T-boned on a local road in Upland, California by a driver who had run a red light. Our client required treatment from multiple facilities, including an orthopedic specialist, a chiropractor and an MRI facility. Not only did we obtain the $100,000 policy limits, we were able to get our client’s $24,000 in past medical bills substantially reduced, therefore maximizing his recovery.
