Family Injured in Two Auto Accidents
A family was hit by a drunk driver. Each family member suffered moderate to severe injuries. A few months later, the family was involved in another car accident. The father required surgery.

Two Families Injured in Construction Zone Accident
A young mother, with her three children, was riding in a minivan, along with her best friend and her three children when they came to an intersection in a construction zone. A flagger was having a conversation with another person and began to gesture with her arm. The mother mistook the inadvertent gesture as a signal to pull forward, and she drove directly into the path of a large truck. All eight occupants in the minivan were injured, some severely. The insurance company for the construction company flagger refused to offer a reasonable settlement. Our firm filed a lawsuit and the case went to a jury trial.
Status: Awarded seven-figure jury verdict
Insurance Company Acts with Bad Faith
While driving home, a mother was rear-ended by a distracted driver, and she suffered an injury to her neck. After months of conservative treatment, she had surgery.

The insurance company refused to pay even though our client’s medical expenses were in excess of $50,000. The insurance company’s failure to pay was an act of bad faith against its insured, exposing the insurance company to the full extent of our client’s damages, regardless of the inadequate policy limits. An arbitrator determined our client’s full damages, and the defendant’s insurance company paid the entire amount.
Status: Confidential seven-figure binding arbitration award

Tree Trimmer Nakuryente at Napatay
A homeowner planted palm trees in her backyard under high-voltage power lines. The palm trees grew and interfered with the power lines, causing small fires in the trees. The local power company had a “line clearance” program to identify and remove trees that became hazards and sent a crew to remove the trees. The utility company had the legal right to remove hazardous trees without the homeowner’s permission, but as a courtesy, asked for permission. The homeowner refused.

Pamilya Patay sa Sunog sa Bahay, Mali ang Pagkakabit ng mga Fire Detector

Status: Negotiated confidential multi-million dollar settlement at mediation
Family Members Injured and Killed in Space Heater Fire Accident
While several family members slept in their grandmother’s home, a space heater ignited the bedding. The fire spread through the house, and the family was trapped inside. Three children died, and three other children and their grandmother suffered severe burns. Our investigation found that the space heater was not equipped with a simple heat-sensing, cut-off switch that was installed on other space heaters made by the manufacturer. The family also had purchased a heat detector with an alarm and smoke detectors. Both failed on the night of the fire. Security bars on the doors and windows failed to have release latches on the inside, so the family could not escape the fire. We filed a lawsuit against the various product manufacturers for defective designs.
Status: Negotiated eight-figure settlement shortly before trial

Status: Negotiated confidential settlement
Groundskeeper Killed by Faulty Turf Sweeper
A father of four worked as a groundskeeper for a golf course. While operating a new turf sweeper—on a slight incline—it suddenly rolled over on its side, crushing him to death. Our firm’s investigation revealed that the turf sweeper was a three-wheeled, tricycle-type design that was more unstable on inclines than a four-wheeled design. An expert witness, with a specialty in tractor safety, determined the turf sweeper was not equipped with an incline gauge, seat belt, roll cage, or lateral restraining arms—any would have prevented the groundskeeper’s death. We filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family against the turf sweeper manufacturer.
Status: Negotiated confidential seven-figure settlement at mediation
Teenager Injured by Defective Door Hinge
A 16-year-old passenger in a sports car was hurt in a collision when the passenger door hinge failed, allowing a large gap between the door and the dashboard. The teenager’s legs became entangled in the gap, severing them. Our firm’s investigation revealed that the vehicle had a defectively designed door hinge that allowed the doors to disconnect. The manufacturer knew about the defect and had redesigned the hinge. Our firm filed a lawsuit against the vehicle manufacturer.

State and Car Manufacturer Negligent for Family’s Accident
Habang papunta sa simbahan, isang batang ama, ang kanyang asawa, at ang kanilang walong taong gulang na anak na lalaki ay tinalikuran ng isang hit-and-run na driver. Ang pickup truck ng pamilya ay napilitang pumasok sa freeway median at pagkatapos ay sa landas ng isang paparating na sasakyan. Lahat ng tatlong miyembro ng pamilya ay pinaalis sa sasakyan. Ang batang ama ay malubhang nasugatan, at ang kanyang asawa at anak ay namatay. Namatay din ang driver ng kabilang sasakyan. Natukoy ng pagsisiyasat ng aming kompanya, kabilang ang mga ekspertong saksi, na nabigo ang estado na gumawa ng freeway median barrier na sana ay pumigil sa trak na mapilitan sa paparating na trapiko. Ang trak ng pamilya ay hindi rin nilagyan ng electronic stability control, na sana ay hindi mawalan ng kontrol ang sasakyan. Walang laminated glass ang trak, na sana ay magtago sa loob ng mga sakay sa panahon ng banggaan. Nabigo rin ang mga seat back at seat belt ng trak na pigilan ang mag-ina.
Nanatiling naka-lock ang seat belt ng bata, na kinumpirma sa mga litrato ng trak na kinuha ng highway patrol sa pinangyarihan.
Nagsampa kami ng kaso laban sa estado at laban sa tagagawa ng sasakyan para sa pananagutan ng produkto. Ang hit-and-run na driver ay kulang sa seguro, at bagama't ang batang ama ay bumili ng maraming mga patakaran ng pagsasalansan ng underinsured na saklaw ng motorista, ang kanyang kompanya ng seguro ay tumangging magbayad. Nagsampa din ang aming kompanya ng kaso laban sa kompanya ng seguro ng ama upang pilitin itong bayaran ang buong limitasyon ng pagkakasakop. Ang kasong ito ay itinampok sa buong bansa sa MSNBC.
Status: Nakipag-usap sa kumpidensyal na multi-milyong dolyar na kasunduan sa mga kompanya ng insurance ng sasakyan, tagagawa ng sasakyan, at estado sa pamamagitan
Teenager Paralyzed in Roof Crush Accident
A 19-year-old teenager was a passenger in his friend’s truck when the friend ran a red light, and they were hit by another vehicle. The truck rolled over, the roof collapsed, and the teenager was paralyzed. The driver had inadequate auto insurance. The teen’s family had a small policy of underinsured motorist coverage, but the insurance company refused to pay the $25,000 policy. Our investigation revealed that the truck had a substandard A-pillar. This allowed the roof to collapse, crushing the passenger when the vehicle rolled. We filed a lawsuit against the truck manufacturer for defective design and against the driver’s insurance company for “bad faith” failure to promptly pay the amount owed.
Status: Negotiated confidential seven-figure settlement paid by the vehicle manufacturer and the teen’s automobile insurance company

Mechanic Run Over by Vehicle with Faulty Design
An auto mechanic was working on a customer’s car while the engine was running, and the vehicle was in park. The vehicle transmission slipped from park to reverse and rolled over the mechanic. He suffered multiple injuries, requiring several surgeries. He was permanently disabled. Our firm’s investigation revealed the customer’s car had a design defect in the automatic transmission shifting mechanism. This allowed a condition known as “false park” to occur. The gear indicator showed the vehicle was in park, but the transmission was actually between park and reverse, allowing it to easily slip into reverse. We filed a lawsuit against the vehicle manufacturer for defective design.

Sanggol na Binigyan ng Nakamamatay na Dosis ng Zinc sa Ospital
A 3-week-old infant in a Las Vegas hospital neonatal intensive care unit was given a fatal dose of zinc intravenously. A hospital pharmacist incorrectly entered the prescription into a computerized solution compounding device, another pharmacist failed to catch the error. The technician who operated the compounding device added the fatal dose of zinc to the I.V. bag, and a third pharmacist and two hospital nurses also failed to notice the error. Investigations determined that the compounding device manufacturer considered, but failed to include, a mandatory lock-out or warning prompt in the software to prevent mistaken overdose selections. This case was featured nationally on ABC’s “Nightline,” “Inside Edition,” and in Portfolio magazine.
Status: Negotiated confidential seven-figure settlement with the hospital and compounding device manufacturer
