  • $3,750,000 on behalf of a 39 year-old man whose vehicle crashed due to a defect in the vehicle that caused the man to lose control. He suffered a badly fractured ankle that required surgery and use of a cage-like apparatus screwed into his foot and leg in an effort to stabilize the broken bones and promote healing. Unfortunately, after many infections and surgeries, the man’s leg had to be amputated below the knee.
  • $1,536,921 on behalf of a 36 year-old man whose wheel chair was struck by a garbage truck as the man tried to cross a busy road. He used a motorized chair due to pre-existing rheumatoid arthritis. The crash resulted in a hip fracture that required surgery and caused the man to lose additional function.
  • $1,700,000 on behalf of a 42 year-old man who was run over by s semi-tractor as the man stood beside the road while assisting another motorist who crashed in an earlier accident. The victim sustained a number of fractures and internal injuries from which he never fully recovered.
