The Careful Crossing: Sarah, a 72-year-old retired teacher, was crossing a well-lit intersection with the pedestrian signal in her favor. A distracted driver making a left turn failed to yield and struck Sarah in the crosswalk. She suffered a broken hip and a fractured wrist, requiring surgery and extensive physical therapy. We argued the driver’s negligence and aggressive driving history. The insurance company initially offered a low settlement, but we took the case to trial. The jury found in Sarah’s favor, awarding her $1.2 million in compensation for her medical bills, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
The Hit-and-Run: Michael, a young delivery cyclist, was struck by a car while riding in a designated bike lane. The driver fled the scene. With limited evidence, we meticulously reviewed traffic camera footage and interviewed witnesses, eventually identifying the driver. The driver admitted fault and their insurance company offered a settlement. However, Michael suffered a traumatic brain injury and ongoing cognitive difficulties, impacting his ability to work. We negotiated a settlement of $3.5 million to cover his medical expenses, lost wages, and future care needs.
The Shared Responsibility: While walking his dog on a sidewalk, David was struck by a car that swerved to avoid a reckless driver on the opposite side of the road. Though David was in the designated pedestrian area, the initial investigation placed some blame on him for walking with his back to traffic. We argued that David was a predictable pedestrian and the accident was caused by the other driver’s dangerous actions. Through negotiation, we secured a settlement of $750,000 for David’s broken leg and ongoing pain, acknowledging the shared responsibility for the accident.
The School Zone Stop: Emily, an energetic 10-year-old, was crossing the street in a marked school zone with a crossing guard when a speeding car ignored flashing lights and the stop sign. We documented the driver’s history of traffic violations and the school zone’s safety record. The insurance company initially denied liability, but the overwhelming evidence led to a settlement of $800,000 to cover Emily’s broken arm, facial lacerations, and ongoing physical therapy.
The Defective Sidewalk: Maria, a 65-year-old grandmother, was walking on a cracked and uneven sidewalk when she tripped and fell, fracturing her hip. We investigated the sidewalk’s ownership and maintenance history, revealing the city’s negligence in repairing the known hazard. The city initially denied responsibility, but the evidence of the dangerous sidewalk and Maria’s injuries led to a settlement of $1.5 million to cover her medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
The Delivery Distraction: John, a construction worker, was walking to a worksite on a sidewalk when a delivery truck driver, distracted by his phone, veered onto the sidewalk and struck him. John suffered a severe shoulder injury requiring surgery and limiting his ability to perform his job duties. We obtained phone records proving the driver’s distraction and negotiated a settlement of $2 million for John’s medical expenses, lost wages, and future earning potential.
The Elderly Hit-and-Run (with a Twist): William, an 82-year-old veteran, was walking his dog in a well-lit neighborhood when a car struck him from behind and fled the scene. With seemingly few leads, we identified a neighbor who witnessed the hit-and-run and captured a partial license plate number on a security camera. The investigation led to the driver, who was an uninsured motorist. We pursued William’s underinsured motorist coverage and secured a settlement of $1 million to cover his medical bills and ongoing care needs.
The Bus Stop Mishap: Sarah, a college student, was waiting at a bus stop with the designated shelter when a car lost control on a rainy day, skidding off the road and crashing into the bus stop. Sarah sustained a concussion and back injuries. We investigated the cause of the accident, revealing faulty tire treads on the car. The insurance company offered a low settlement, but we argued the severity of Sarah’s injuries and the potential long-term effects. The case went to mediation, resulting in a settlement of $400,000 for her medical care and future medical needs.
The Construction Zone Confusion: David, a young architect, was walking through a designated pedestrian pathway in a construction zone when a dump truck backing up failed to see him and pinned him against a barrier. David suffered a broken leg and internal injuries. We investigated the safety protocols of the construction zone and identified lapses in signage and worker communication. The construction company’s insurance company offered a settlement, but we argued for compensation for David’s future earning potential impacted by his injuries. The case settled for $1 million to cover medical expenses, lost wages, and future earning potential.
The Double Cross: While jogging in a crosswalk with a designated pedestrian signal, Michael, a marathon runner, was struck by a car turning left. However, another car traveling in the opposite direction also disregarded the red light and struck Michael a second time. We documented the complex accident scene and the negligence of both drivers. The insurance companies involved initially pointed fingers at each other. Through skilled negotiation, we secured a combined settlement of $2.5 million from both insurance companies to cover Michael’s extensive medical needs and rehabilitation.
