$1 Million
Trucking Crash
Tire Failure
Plaintiffs were involved in a single-car roll-over caused by tire failure, resulting in a fractured collarbone and back injuries. The case was successfully mediated, resulting in a $700,000 settlement in favor of the Plaintiffs.
Negligent Security At Sunset Casino
A 74-year-old woman was attacked in a parking garage at Sunset Station Hotel & Casino. The evidence demonstrated that no one was watching the parking lot surveillance or any other casino cameras. The evidence further demonstrated that Sunset Station failed to provide any surveillance footage of the interior of the Casino despite evidence that the attackers were within the Casino for a prolonged period of time prior to the incident.
The woman sustained multiple injuries and, after a 7-day trial, the Jury found no comparative negligence and returned a $1.5 million verdict in favor of the Plaintiff.
Uninsured Motorist Accident
Plaintiff, a 23-year-old female, was involved in a rear-end motor vehicle accident on US I-95, resulting in injuries to her cervical spine, ultimately requiring injection therapy with pain management. Claim against adverse driver was successfully settled for $15,000 Policy Limits and Underinsured Demand for Policy Limits was submitted. Insurance carrier hired Doctor to dispute injuries, need for treatment and criticize pain management. Prior to filing suit, however, insurance carrier paid Policy Limits of $250,000.
$750,000 Settlement in a Tractor-Trailer Case
We reached a $750,000 settlement in a recent action involving the plaintiff’s automobile and a tractor-trailer. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant, an operator of a tractor-trailer, made an improper U-turn on the interstate at a Nevada Highway Patrol emergency vehicle turn-out. The plaintiff alleged that this improper and unsafe turn-around had been established by an employee of a separate defendant company without having been approved by the Nevada Department of Transportation.
According to the action, in making this illegal U-turn, the rear of the defendant’s vehicle was blocking the plaintiff’s lane of travel. The plaintiff alleged that the front of his vehicle struck the rear of the defendant’s vehicle, causing his vehicle to rotate counterclockwise into the adjacent lane and roll onto its right side.
According to the action, the accident resulted in multiple injuries to the plaintiff, including comminuted fractures to both knees necessitating removal of his right knee cap entirely, fractures of his femur necessitating a metal rod being placed, multiple fractures to his pelvis, multiple compression fractures to his lumbar spine and fractures to his right hand. Defendants denied responsibility and contested liability.
Subsequent to extensive litigation the parties proceeded to a Settlement Conference where the parties successfully reached a $750,000 Settlement.
