representing a 27 year old female, recovered $880,000.00 for suffering a low back injury after having been rear-ended in a low impact automobile accident. The amazing result took place despite the insurance company's team of lawyers, who argued that the impact was not strong enough to cause the claimed injuries, and pointed out that our client had been involved in another rear-end accident just months before!

A 65-ton capacity rough terrain crane which was manufactured and sold with a load moment indicator (that would notify the crane's operator if the crane was at a point where it exceeded its weight capacity and was overloaded) had been intentionally disconnected. On the day in question, our clients who were being transported in a 'man-basket' were injured when the crane and its load overturned. Our firm successfully argued that the contractor in charge of the jobsite was responsible for the accident since its crane operator violated safe practice standards by bypassing the load moment indicator and the contractor's improper use of the 'man-basket' which was found not to be in compliance with industry standards.
