$12,500,000

Automobile - Wrongful Death

Settlement for a family who lost a loved one following a motor vehicle collision. Our clients were rear-ended by a distracted driver towing a camper. The impact of the collision was so severe our client's vehicle—which had been stopped at a traffic light—was pushed sideways across the intersection and rotated 360 degrees before coming to an uncontrolled stop off the roadway. We represented the surviving driver and the family of the passenger who sustained fatal injuries.

$1,500,000

Medical Malpractice

Settlement against a medical provider for the wrongful death of a patient. The medical provider administered an overdose of medication resulting in the patient's death.

$3,100,000

Automobile – Wrongful Death

Federal court jury verdict for the family of a teenager killed by a speeding ambulance. The ambulance was traveling 81 mph in a 60 mph speed zone on a non-emergency run without any flashing lights or sirens, when it ran a red light at an intersection and struck the teenager’s vehicle. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the verdict on appeal, following oral argument.

$1,500,000

Premises Liability - Wrongful Death

Settlement for a family who lost their child in a drowning incident. The family was staying in a vacation rental and did not know the owner had not properly maintained the lock on the gate around the swimming pool. The child entered the pool area unattended due to a faulty lock and fell in the pool, but was too young to swim, and sustained fatal injuries.

$1,125,000

Dog Bite-Injury

Settlement for a child seriously injured and traumatized after being attacked by a dog.

$2,500,000

Negligence - Wrongful Death

Settlement for a family who lost a child after lifeguards at a public pool became distracted and failed to see the young child enter the water alone and fail to resurface after a few seconds underwater.

Past recoveries for other clients are not an indication of future results. Every case is different, and each case must be evaluated on its own facts and circumstances as they apply to the law. Furthermore, no representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
