Medical malpractice case
Jun 01, 2006OUTCOME: $300,000.00
We represented a widow and her children in a difficult wrongful-death medical-malpractice case in Riverside Superior Court. The victim was a 57-year old male smoker who experienced chest pains while g ... ardening. He went to the ER and had an abnormal EKG. When his chest pains subsided, the cardiologist discharged him without performing an angiogram, and he died of a heart attack a mere twelve hours later. Our expert cardiologist was prepared to testify that an angiogram was required under the circumstances, but the defense expert strongly disagreed, claiming that the defendant could not reasonably predict the heart attack. Although the victim was a modest wage earner with a short life expectancy, we managed to settle the case for $300,000 in a pre-trial mediation following discovery and a successfully opposed summary-judgment motion.
Explosion wrongful-death death case
Jan 01, 2006OUTCOME: $325,000.00
We represented a sixteen year-old girl who lost her father in a welding explosion. A trucking company brought a chipped diesel fuel tank into the shop for repairs. The trucking company told the welde ... r that the tank only contained diesel fuel (which is safe for welding) when actually, the tank had contained unleaded gasoline (which is unsafe for welding). When the welder lit his torch, the gasoline vapors ignited causing a dramatic explosion killing him. After a year of aggressive litigation, a settlement was reached in a mediation before the Honorable Retired Judge Herbert Hoffman.

We represented a man and his wife who were side-swiped by a semi tractor trailer while attempting to merge onto the freeway. At first, the couple believed that they only suffered minor soft-tissue inj ... uries. However, MRI's confirmed that they each suffered disc injuries, which greatly enhanced the value of their cases. We settled their cases in a mediation after lengthy negotiations.
Near-drowning case
Nov 01, 2004OUTCOME: $800,000.00
We represented a five-year-old boy who fell into a neighbor's swimming pool and was under water for three minutes. The boy went into a coma and was admitted to the ICU for three weeks. He emerged fro ... m the coma with language deficits. The adjacent homeowner was liable because his German Shepherd had ripped a hole in the fence, but a local ordinance requires a five-foot fence around a pool to be good repair. We successfully settled the case for the neighbor's home owner's insurance policy limits.
