n a scene that is repeated way too many times in Wisconsin, a man was injured when his vehicle was severely struck by a person who ignored a stop light at an intersection. The client’s car was totaled ... and he was permanently injured. After Attorney John Casey was retained, a lawsuit was immediately commenced when it was discovered that the defendant driver had broke up with his girlfriend (who owned the car) and she was telling her insurance company that her ex-boyfriend did not have permission to drive her car. Knowing that not having permission to use a car is a defense to providing insurance, Attorney Casey took the woman’s deposition during a brief time period that the couple reunited. She changed her story and testified under oath that the defendant driver had permission to drive her car. The insurance company’s motion for summary judgment was denied.

On a snowy Wisconsin evening, a man was clearing the snow from the sidewalk of a large department store when a very large section ice fell from the roof of the store onto the cab of the snow truck that ... he was operating. The ice was so heavy that it collapsed a large section of the snow truck’s cab. After trying, unsuccessfully, to get his medical bills paid for by the maintenance company and the owner of the building, the driver of the truck went to Attorney John Casey for help. After filing a lawsuit and aggressively pursuing pretrial discovery and defending against summary judgment, the insurance company agreed to settle the case favorably for the man rather than risk going to trial.

A night out on the town turned tragic for a young college student heading home from a party. As the young man was crossing a street to his apartment, a repeat drunk driver slammed into him, later flee ... ing the scene and leaving the young man for dead in the street. Another motorist helped our client, although his face would remain disfigured. The drunk driver refused to accept responsibility for his actions; a story the insurance company readily accepted. After several days of jury trial, the plaintiff received a verdict significantly higher than requested by the plaintiff. A post-trial interview of the jury revealed that the jurors actually argued that the amount was not high enough! Ultimately, the insurance company paid in excess of the policy limits, having to pay for pre-judgment interest, costs and statutory attorney fees.
