Settlements and Verdicts
$9,000,000
Settlement - Motor Vehicle Accident. A 33-year-old man was paralyzed as a result of a one-car auto accident in the rain near Barstow, California. We claimed the State of California negligently designed the highway and failed to safely adapt the area to prevent problems. We had to overcome a lengthy delay in properly filing the lawsuit by the prior attorney before it came to our office. We successfully argued that the problems were a consequence of improper medical treatment while at the same time, proving that the State of California had failed to properly design the road.
$6,200,000
Settlement - Motor Vehicle Accident. This settlement was obtained for an individual who suffered catastrophic injuries in an car accident.
$6,000,000
Verdict – This reward was paid for injuries sustained in a schoolyard accident by a child.
$3,200,000
Settlement - Medical malpractice. This settlement was paid for failure to diagnosis an epidural abscess in a 57-year-old woman which resulted in her condition worsening to quadriplegia. This was the largest medical settlement in its county at the time.
$2,250,000
Settlement - Medical malpractice. This case involved a 26-year-old man who was improperly diagnosed. Based on this misdiagnosis, the hospital did not move him to another qualified hospital, which could have prevented his condition from deteriorating. This mistake caused him severe spinal cord injuries.

Settlement - Medical malpractice. This case involved a failure to diagnose and treat an epidural spinal abscess. This resulted in paraplegia in our client.
