Representative Matters

Two young children were attacked and bitten in the face by a neighbor's dog, requiring emergency treatment, sutures, and plastic surgery follow-up for facial scarring. We documented the children's injuries and the family's trauma, negotiated with the homeowners carrier through multiple rounds, and obtained court approval of the minors' settlements — with each child's recovery protected in structured funds that grow safely until adulthood.

A patron was severely beaten at a crowded nightclub after security staff ejected him alongside his attacker without calling police. He suffered cervical fractures and an arm injury requiring two surgeries. We built liability through the parallel criminal case record, anticipated and answered the comparative fault defense, and negotiated a substantial settlement — then cut the health plan's lien nearly in half, materially increasing the client's net recovery.

A bicyclist suffered six fractured ribs, a fractured clavicle, a partially collapsed lung, and a shoulder injury requiring ongoing care after a driver turned across his path. The at-fault driver carried minimal limits, which we collected quickly. We then pursued the client's underinsured motorist coverage: his own carrier opened at roughly half the final number, and over more than a year of supplemental demands, updated medical evidence, and arbitration preparation, the UIM claim resolved for $300,000 — with the carrier's medical payments reimbursement claim waived in full.

A family lost their adult son when a speeding driver struck him at night. Liability was heavily disputed and the defense held genuine comparative fault arguments. We litigated for over two years — independent investigation, camera footage, discovery battles, and trial preparation — and recovered the full available insurance limits for the grieving parents, coordinating the related probate work along the way.

An elderly pedestrian was knocked down by a vehicle and suffered a traumatic brain injury, facial fractures, and lasting cognitive symptoms — followed months later by a serious fall her doctors linked to the original injury. The client had no U.S. health coverage, so we helped arrange treatment on a lien basis. Careful policy analysis defeated a coverage exclusion the carrier might have raised, and a time-limited policy-limits demand nearly doubled the carrier's first offer, resolving the case for the full $250,000 limits.

A woman walking through a shopping plaza was struck by a commercial delivery van, suffering a concussion with post-concussive syndrome — headaches, memory and concentration problems — along with neck, back, and rib injuries documented over eighteen months of treatment. We secured the commercial carrier's policy information, investigated additional excess coverage, built the brain injury case on objective testing, and moved the adjuster from an opening range near $100,000 to a $225,000 settlement.

Recovery for a client injured in a rear-end collision involving disputed treatment issues and extended insurance negotiations. We documented the claim, addressed the medical billing issues, and pursued a settlement reflecting the seriousness of the injuries.

A homeowner fell through floor joists her remodel contractor left exposed and unprotected, fracturing her arm and tearing her shoulder, which required surgery. The contractor's insurance had lapsed — the kind of case many firms decline. We litigated to judgment, then refused to walk away: we pursued the contractor's license bond, fought through a bankruptcy filing, unwound a fraudulent property transfer, and ultimately collected substantially more than the judgment itself through escrow on the property's sale.

A client suffered a hip injury requiring extended treatment after a service professional's negligence during what should have been a routine appointment. The defense disputed both liability and the injury itself. We filed suit within the shortened limitations period, served statutory settlement offers, retained experts, and persisted through years of delays — ultimately settling for the exact amount of our earlier statutory offer.

A retired cyclist in his late sixties was hospitalized with rib and shoulder fractures after a driver turned across his path. We collected the at-fault driver's full minimal limits, then recovered an additional $35,000 through his own underinsured motorist coverage. Just as important: we pursued a federal waiver process through four rounds of review until Medicare's $31,000 lien was waived entirely, and reduced the remaining health plan lien to a fraction of its original demand — transforming the client's net recovery.
