Birth Injury

$12.0 Million

A mother was given excessive Pitocin during labor which caused brain damage to her newborn child. Shortly after filing the lawsuit, the hospital and doctor offered $12 million to settle the case.

Birth Injury

$10.0 Million

The hospital and doctor settled the case for $10 million.

A young girl was injured in a collision when her mother had to swerve in order to avoid a Pace Van. The mother of an 18-month-old who sustained a lacerated liver after a medical-transportation van allegedly cut off the mother’s minivan and caused it to crash has settled her lawsuit for $7 million.

Do I Need a Lawyer?

The number one question we hear is, “Do I need a lawyer?” After we explain the overwhelming repercussions of an accident, most people say, “Yes!” Filing a personal injury claim against an insurance company can be a very long process, requiring lots of time on the phone with adjusters trying to determine what your case is worth, going through the contentious negotiation process, and wading through stacks of paperwork. For accident victims, this means less time spent recovering and more energy spent second-guessing your personal injury claim.

Our firm takes care of every aspect of your personal injury case, allowing you to focus on what is most important—recovering from your injuries and getting life back to normal.
