In Store Accident – The jury returned a verdict of $825,000.
My first substantial verdict involved a lawsuit against K-Mart. My client was hit by a shirt rack, which resulted in neck injury and brain damage. In litigating this case, I utilized both expert medical testimony and neuro-psychological testimony.
In Store Accident – The lawsuit settled for $675,000 a month before trial.
I represented a thirty-year-old judicial assistant to a Circuit Court Judge in Duval County. My client injured her ankle when she slipped and fell at a local supermarket. Another attorney previously refused to take the case because of a disagreement between the client and her doctor as to the severity of the injury. It turned out that the client developed Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy in her lower extremity. I filed suit, and discovery showed that a store employee cleaned the floor area without marking the area with cones or signs. I am always honored and proud to represent court personnel.
Motor Vehicle Accidents – Settlement without the filing of suit.
I had the extraordinary privilege to represent a local Federal Magistrate whose daughter was killed in an automobile collision. Although the case had a very high profile, we were able to secure a substantial settlement without the filing of suit, without exposing the private lives of the survivors to media scrutiny, thereby achieving a just result, while preserving the dignity of the Federal Bench. As stated before, it is a privilege to represent Court personnel, they all know so many lawyers and their selection of me to be their lawyer is an indication of the reputation I have worked so hard to establish.
Premises Liability – The lawsuit settled for $250,000.
I represented a Clay County Sheriff Sergeant in a slip and fall case against a local convenience store. My client tripped on a piece of broken tile and fell in a puddle of water. The impact of the fall knocked out two teeth and resulted in an injured shoulder requiring surgery. Research showed that the store had previously been cited for having leaky coolers and broken tiles.
Medical Malpractice – The case settled in excess of the $1 million policy limit prior to the filing of suit.
I represented a thirty four year old female client in a medical malpractice case. My client suffered brain damage while receiving a nerve block injection for neck and shoulder pain. The brain damage resulted when the doctor mistakenly injected Lidocaine into the vertebral artery, which resulted in cardiac paralysis followed by thirteen minutes of Anoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain).
