Major Case Results (DISCLAIMER: PAST RESULTS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS):
My colleague and I successfully secured a $21 million guaranteed structured settlement, with a present value of $5.5 million in 2012 for a youngchild and her parents, after she suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident caused by a truck driver who smashed in to the family’s car.We established a short term medical needs trust and a long term guaranteed $21 million structured settlement to make sure our client's medical care and financial needs would be met.
$3.5 Million settlement for a truck accident victim's only surviving child. Our client was killed after a tractor trailer crashed into his car on I-64 in Norfolk, VA. The truck driver had violated several rules under the Virginia CDL. The other side recognized that they did not have a strong case and therefore offered a sizable settlement that will help the victim's young child now, and in the future.
