Facts - minor client slipped and fell during gymnastics class due to the instructor negligently cleaning a balance beam and failed to let it dry, leaving it dangerously slippery. The incident left our client with permanent facial scarring and other permanent injuries. The insurance company for the gym refused to defend the gym and we filed a lawsuit and were able to obtain an arbitration award of $688,188.43.
Facts - Our client was t-boned by a security guard while on duty. Client has had several surgeries and extensive physical therapy. We filed a lawsuit against the guard and the company he worked for. We have so far settled the claim against the guard for $450,000.00 and are continuing to pursue the claim against the company. We will update this case once it is fully resolved either through a settlement or trial.
Family of 4 involved in a motor vehicle collision. Two minor children. At fault policy involved $300,000.00 total bodily injury coverage per accident. A combined demand was sent for the family and the policy limits were paid.

Family of 5 were involved in an auto accident. We were able to settle the cases within two months for the policy limits. The at fault driver had $50,000.00 in bodily injury coverage.

Luckily, we were able to get involved before he signed a release. We were able to get him over 20x the offered amount by the insurance company to him prior to our involvement.
Injuries - Neck & Back. Client did not do much medical treatment and we were still able to get a recovery of $40,000.00. Pedestrian accidents do have a tendency to have higher recoveries in some instances regardless of the severity of the injuries involved.
