Medical Malpractice
Our client tripped and fell over a stool while visiting her mother in the hospital and ended up breaking her wrist, injuring her shoulder and deeply gouging her leg. We settled her case before going through the panel process.
Auto & Trucking Injury
Two separate clients were involved in the same car accident on their way to make a delivery when they were struck by another driver where they each sustained several injuries and broken bones. The road to recovery was long, but we were able get them fully compensated for their injuries.
Personal & Construction Injury
Our client was walking through a poorly lit parking lot to head into a beauty store when she slipped on an oil patch and fell into an 8-inch deep crater and broke her leg. Video footage was very helpful in settling this case.
