One suffering from this inj ... ury is caused excruciating pain when attempting to stand on the foot or weight bear.

OUTCOME: Sale of defendants' home
A pre-teen was sexually molested by her neighbor. The neighbor was convicted of indecent assault and battery and jailed. A civil lawsuit was brought against the abuser and his wife for civil battery, ... intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligence. However, the defendants' homeowners insurer denied insurance coverage because the abuse was an intentional act. We seized the defendants' mortgage-free suburban home and were able to settle the case by selling the home and allowing the abuser's wife to keep one-half of the proceeds, the other half going to our client.
OUTCOME: The lawsuit was brought against several private school staff members rather than against the non-profit corporation. After extensive pre-trial discovery, the case settled for $300,000.00.
Our client was an 18 year old handicapped residential student living full time on campus of her school. She had a history of self abuse. After an emotional outburst, a staff member was assigned one ... on one until she calmed down. As the staff person walked the school grounds with our client, she broke away, ran up a fire escape, climbed over the railing and threatened to jump two stories to the ground. When staff unsuccesfully tried to dissuade her, she counted back from 10 and jumped. The client suffered a compression fracture to her mid back as a result. Although surgery was not indicated, the client spent several months in pain, both physical and emotional. A lawsuit was filed on the theory that staff failed to protect our client from the attempted suicide that was reasonably foreseeable given our client's history.
