Montgomery County award for client who fell down
Aug 10, 2009
OUTCOME: Award for client
Our client went to a fundraiser for a local non-profit organization. She arrived by car and was told where to park and how to get into the event. She followed the instructions and bought an admission... ticket. At the ticket table a crowd had gathered waiting for their chance to buy a ticket. After she got her ticket, she had to make her way through the crowd to go into the building to the main activities. The walkway was not smooth and had no guardrail and no warning about the step up. The crowd blocked her view of the defect in the walkway. She fell onto the walkway, fracturing her hip. She was removed from the premises by an ambulance and required surgery to repair her hip with a pin. Her medical insurance provider had a subrogation claim against any money she might receive. The case settled for $200,000 and the medical insurance provider agreed to compromise their subrogation claim, and the client got a substantial amount of money, free and clear.

Car accident
Pennsylvania Car Accident Case
Jul 23, 2008
OUTCOME: Obtained all insurance available for client
Our clients were a mother and son involved in a head on car collision. The son was the driver, and he sustained sprains and strains. His mother was a passenger, and she sustained broken ribs and ster...num and internal injuries, and later died from her injuries. An erratic driver lost control of his car, crossed over the centerline on the street and struck our clients. Both clients wore seat belts, but their older car did not have airbags. The son-driver couldn’t work for several months, and his wage loss was more than $15,000. The driver who caused all of this had only the minimum liability insurance coverage of $15,000 and no other assets. The son had a truck of his own, and shared his house with his mother who had two vehicles, and all their vehicles had insurance policies. We settled the injury and death claims against all the insurance companies for over $300,000.00.
