Major head on motor vehicle accident resulted in multiple orthopedic fractures and surgeries to our client, who had to be airlifted to the hospital from the scene of the accident.

OUTCOME: A confidential six figure settlement in favor of our client.

Trip and fall case favorably settled for our client. Shortly after the grand opening of a national pharmacy chain story, our client unexpectedly tripped and fell while walking toward the store entranc ... e. We were able to prove that the entrance, which had multiple obstacles and visual obstructions, was negligently designed. The fortune 500 pharmacy company vigorously defended the case and denied any responsibility. As a result of our aggressive discovery after filing suit, we were able to prove that the pharmacy and its management were aware of the dangerous condition prior to the subject accident and took no corrective action until after our client was injured. Our client sustained a fractured hip requiring surgical repair and use of a hip prosthesis. The matter ultimately resolved for a confidential six figure settlement.

He then left the area to retrieve cleaning supplies and caution signs. This left the spill unattended with no warning to other customers. Our client, unaware of the spill, stepped on it, causing his feet to slip out from under him. He landed hard on the concrete floor and sustained significant injury. We were able to settle the case for $110,000, which greatly assisted the client in terms of paying for his medical bills, time off of work, and pain and suffering.

N/A

OUTCOME: A confidential six figure settlement in favor of our client.

Confidential six figure settlement with national pharmacy benefit management company (PBM). Large PBM allegedly committed multiple violations of our client’s privacy rights relating to her confidentia ... l medical records. Our client had a very complex medical history with multiple medical issues. The alleged mishandling of her confidential medical information by the PBM caused her significant emotional distress and nearly resulted in her losing her long time primary care physician. The large PBM company hired the San Francisco office of a large, nationwide law firm to defend the matter. We aggressively litigated the case, took multiple depositions of key witnesses, hired expert witnesses, and ultimately settled the case at a mandatory settlement conference on the eve of trial resulting in a very favorable settlement to our client.

Health insurance

N/A

OUTCOME: Authorized medical treatment for our client

Pro-bono representation of cancer patient whose insurance company originally denied coverage for necessary medical treatment as “experimental.” Our client was diagnosed with stage three metastatic can ... cer, and all forms of treatment to date had been unsuccessful. Our client’s physicians ultimately prescribed autologous stem cell transplant with high dose chemotherapy followed by radiation therapy as a last resort to cure our client’s cancer. Time was of the essence to appeal the health insurance company’s denial of coverage as our client’s cancer was aggressive. Our office promptly appealed the health insurance company’s decision arguing that the procedure was not “experimental” and that the health insurance company’s continued denial of coverage was in “bad faith.” We threatened suit against the insurance company unless it promptly reversed its decision. Our appeal was successful, and the insurance company authorized the prescribed treatment. Our client ended up receiving the bone marrow treatment recommended by her doctors and has remained cancer free for more than 10 years. We felt privileged providing our client with assistance in receiving this life-saving treatment.
