EXAMPLES OF OUR SUCCESS IN CAR ACCIDENT CASES
Car Accident with Brain Damage – $4.5 Million Settlement
Our team represented a 14-year-old boy involved as a rear seat passenger in a head-on car collision in Bakersfield, California. The car in which he was riding hydroplaned across a flooded roadway and colliding head-on with a car traveling in the opposite direction. Our young client suffered a brain injury, and fractures of his left leg and right arm. His medical bills exceeded $500,000. Because of his brain damage, experts forecasted that he would be unable to be self-sufficient in the workplace. Our attorneys achieved a settlement of $4.5 million against defendants, including the local county water district, the county road department and the opposing driver.
Defective Seat Belt - $5,769,000 Jury Verdict
Our attorneys obtained a jury verdict against American Honda Motor Company for the family of a husband and father who died from massive chest injuries after he was involved in an auto accident in a Honda Civic going approximately 30 miles per hour. Although he was wearing a seat belt, he was thrown into the steering wheel, fracturing ribs, rupturing his spleen and puncturing his lungs. Using experts in automotive engineering and design, our product liability lawyers demonstrated how the injury could have been avoided had the vehicle been designed in a safer manner.
