Paraplegia – Automobile Accident Verdicts $6,336,130.00
Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida
Our 25 year old client was driving home from the supermarket with her young child after a long day of work.
Unfortunately, at that time, the defendant, who was in a rush to get home, carelessly and negligently turned in front of our client’s car and struck it without warning, causing it to swerve and then flip and roll multiple times resulting in our client suffering a severed spine and resulting paraplegia.
Through constant work and diligent efforts, we were able to bring her case to trial and obtain a verdict for her that will help her care for herself and her child for the rest of her life.

Our client sustained a severe herniated disc in his neck, eliminating his ability to return to work and pursue his firefighter career.
After a six day trial against the defendant and our client’s own insurance carrier, we obtained a verdict that compensated our client for the life altering damages he had sustained and will continue to sustain for the rest of his life.
Fractured Vertebrae – Automobile Accident $1,000,000.00
Boca Raton, Palm Beach County, Florida
Our 61 year old client was riding his bicycle on a sunny day when he was struck by a car who suddenly and unexpectedly turned in front of him. The impact threw our client from his bike into the air and onto the asphalt where he sustained fractures to his spine. His significant injuries compromised our client’s ability to return to work in the same manner as he was able to prior to the impact.
The insurance company argued that our client’s damages were not that severe, and hired experts in an attempt to diminish how the impact had changed his life. Through our aggressive litigation we were able to secure a seven figure settlement for our client shortly before the beginning of trial that compensated our client not only for his losses in the past, but for his future damages.
