Car Wreck

Our client suffered a serious neck and back injury as a result of a tractor-trailer accident. After litigation in federal court, the case was ordered to mediation. The insurers paid our client a settlement of $1,900,000 within eleven months of filing suit. We know our injured clients are in need of compensation as quickly as possible without sacrificing results, and our aggressive litigation tactics were instrumental in achieving this timely result.

Our client suffered serious injuries in a car accident. She was referred to our firm by another lawyer who was about to settle for the at-fault driver’s minimum coverage of $25,000. We discovered another $600,000 in insurance coverage and settled the case for $625,000.

Our client was a team truck driver, and tragically, both he and his driving partner were killed when they ran into the back of another semitruck. Even though our client was determined by the highway patrol to be at fault, our quick investigation determined that the other semitruck was traveling at a low rate of speed without proper lighting. Shortly before trial, the insurer paid out its policy limits of $2,000,000. We then brought an action against the freight broker that hired the trucking company on the theory that they knew the at-fault trucking company was dangerous. After mediation, the broker’s liability carrier paid a substantial confidential settlement.

Our client was hit by a Dump Truck leaving a construction zone that rear-ended our client which resulted in neck surgery. During litigation, the Defendant’s insurer agreed to pay $675,000.

Our clients, minor children, were passengers in their father’s car. His father, while unfortunately under the influence of cocaine, ran a stop sign, and his children were injured. We brought an action against the Georgia DOT and their contractor, alleging that they failed to timely install a traffic light at this dangerous intersection. After protracted litigation, the case settled before trial for $750,000.

Plaintiffs sued our insured arising from an accident where they were passengers in our insured’s taxi cab, and our insured ran off the road and into a tree. The Plaintiffs turned down a generous offer and the case went to a jury trial in DeKalb County. The Plaintiffs claimed $18,000 and $10,000 in medical expenses. The jury, finding they were exaggerating their injuries, returned verdicts of $15,000 and $5,000, respectively.

Our client was sued, alleging that their independent contractor injured a Plaintiff. The jury found that the at-fault driver was truly an independent contractor and returned a defense verdict for our client.

Plaintiff claimed almost $100,000 of medical bills resulting from a collision where our insured was driving on the wrong side of the road. We argued both that the Plaintiff had preexisting unrelated health issues, as well as that the Plaintiff was comparatively negligent for failing to try to avoid the collision or slow down when she saw our insured on the wrong side of the road. The jury returned a verdict of only $15,000, which reflected the jury finding the Plaintiff 20% negligent.

We defended a trucking company on a seven-figure workers’ compensation claim. After a two-day trial, a defense verdict completely vindicating our client was entered.

Plaintiffs claimed our insured rear-ended them and then left the scene. The Plaintiffs followed our insured to a nearby gas station, where they accused our insured of intentionally running over one of the Plaintiffs, seriously injuring his knee. Our insured claimed he did not realize he hit the Plaintiffs and only ran into the Plaintiff because he was scared the Plaintiff was going to cause him bodily harm. The jury returned a verdict for less than the claimed special damages and nothing for the alleged intentional striking of the Plaintiff.
