  • Long-Term Consequences: The effects of catastrophic injuries are usually long-lasting, if not permanent. Victims may face ongoing medical treatments, rehabilitation, and a need for assistive devices or modifications to their living environments.
  • Impact on Quality of Life: These injuries often drastically reduce the victim’s quality of life, affecting their ability to perform everyday tasks, work, and engage in social and recreational activities.

Case Results

Car Accident Settlement

$900K Settlement – My client was rear-ended while stopped to allow a pedestrian cross the street and suffered severe neck injury and ultimately underwent a two-level fusion surgery.

They ultimately paid fair compensation to avoid having to take the case to trial.

Slip and Fall Settlement

$475K Settlement – My client slipped on a piece of produce negligently left on the floor of a major retailer, requiring knee surgery. My client was unable to get back to work at full capacity after his surgery. Defendant paid fair compensation for his lost earning capacity in addition to his medical costs and pain and suffering.
