Case Results

Our client was rear-ended by an intoxicated 22-year-old driver, causing injuries to his neck. Over the next 16 months our client developed radiculopathy pain in his shoulder and arm, which led to a C5-6/C6-7 anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) surgery. Due to the fact that 16 months had elapsed, the at-fault driver's insurance carrier refused to attribute our client's surgery to the auto accident and offered just $5,000 to settle. Our firm sued the at-fault driver and, in the lawsuit, established not only the egregiousness of the at-fault driver's conduct, but also the causal relationship between the auto accident and our client's surgery.

Our clients, a family of five, sustained various injuries when their minivan experienced a tire blow out and tread separation. The minivan had been purchased "as is" from an auto dealership in Lexington two weeks before the event. Through the use of several experts, we were able to show the van's tires were inherently dangerous due to age and weathering, and that the dealership should not have sold the subject van without first replacing the tires.

Our client, a 2-year-old boy, was ejected from his rear car seat sustaining facial lacerations and four lost teeth. With the assistance of a dental expert, we were able to establish that our client would likely experience speech development problems and would likely also have alignment issues when his adult teeth eventually came in.

Our client experienced an increase in back pain after undergoing a spinal fusion surgery at his L2-4 vertebrae. Upon investigation, it was determined that an extra hardware component had been left in our client's spine during the initial operation. A second surgery was required to retrieve the extra hardware. Moving quickly, we were able to present the surgeon's negligence to his insurance carrier and settle the matter without filing a lawsuit.

Our client sustained crush injury and partial amputation of three toes when a lowboy operator dropped a lowboy deck and bulldozer onto client's foot. Our firm established the lowboy operator was in a hurry and had violated numerous safety protocols and OSHA-recommended procedures. In addition to what our client had already recovered through workers compensation, we were able to recover another $350,000 for pain, suffering, and disfigurement.

Our client, a retired Baptist minister, suffered lower spine injuries in a head-on collision with a remodeling contractor. Although the contractor denied the wreck was his fault, we were able to prove his truck had crossed the centerline to cause the impact. The contractor's insurance company paid the full amount of its policy despite the contractor's refusal to take responsibility. With the money, our client was able to retrofit his home to make it more wheelchair/walker accessible, which enabled him to continue to live independently.

Our clients were struck by an oncoming driver who died as a result of the collision. Our client sustained a head injury and had no recollection of the crash. His brother, the passenger, was asleep at the time of the impact. As a result, no one knew what had caused the collision. Our firm undertook a thorough investigation and ultimately established the deceased driver had crossed the center line and was responsible for the crash. Our investigation also uncovered additional layers of insurance coverage available to our client, which his carrier had kept secret from him. After filing suit, we quickly settled and collected all available coverage for our clients.

Client suffered from a knee injury.

Our client, a young African American man, was stopped by police officers while walking to his grandmother's house late one night. After confirming our client was not the individual the officers were searching for, the officers nonetheless proceeded to empty his backpack and other belongings without a valid reason. In the course of a lawsuit filed in Federal District Court, we established a violation of our client's civil rights by the police officers.
