N/A

OUTCOME: $250,000.00 for our injured client

Another attorney asked our firm to work on this case with him. He had received an offer of $75,000.00 prior to asking us to help. We filed suit and after many months of work were able to recover $250,0 ... 00.00 for our client. The case involved a truck owned by a corporate defendant which rear-ended our client and caused a puncture wound to her knee. Surgery was required.

N. J. v. Thomas Cunningham & Atlanta Airport Shuttle

N/A

OUTCOME: $180,000.00 recovery for our injured client

The corporate defendant in this case claimed our client could not have been badly injured because the damage to his car were minor.

We proved that the driver of the Defendant's shuttle bus had been found at fault in SEVEN previous collisions. Our client suffered 3 disc herniations and had nearly $14,000.00 in medical bills related to the injury.

Trucking accident

D. W. v. Jeffrey Thomas d/b/a A-1 Action Towing Service and Rodney Barnes

N/A

OUTCOME: $130,000.00 recovered at mediation

Another attorney asked us to file suit on this case after out-of-court negotiations broke down. Our client was a barber working 10-12 hours a day prior to this injury. A tow truck crossed the center li ... ne and struck him head on. Unfortunately our client was too "nice" to call the police to the scene and the tow truck driver was allowed to leave the scene without any evidence of his negligence being documented. After the collision our client developed neck problems which led to him being unable to hold his arms up to cut hair for extended periods of time. As a result he was unable to continue in his chosen profession. The corporate defendant hired a biomechanical engineer to say our client could not have been badly injured in the wreck. There was very little damage to our client's car. The defendant also hired a doctor who testified that our client's neck problems were present before the collision.
