We represented a woman that slipped and fell at a grocery store and sued the store for negligent training of its employees and failing to train them on proper procedures when it comes to cleaning the floors.
An Illinois woman was injured on Interstate 64 when another driver attempted to change lanes when it was not safe to do so. Our client injured her neck and back as a result of the impact. Complicating the case was the fact that our client had been in a car crash just two months prior and was still treating for her injuries at the time of the crash at issue. Further, the at-fault driver claimed she was not even aware that there was an impact at all, let alone an impact that could have caused injury. We mediated the case with a retired Monroe County judge presiding. We were able to reach a settlement on behalf of our client for $70,000 which allowed her to pay off her medical bills and seek further treatment for her injuries. Regarding the first crash, which we argued caused the majority of our client’s injuries, our client was rear-ended while driving on Greenmount Crossing Drive. After exchanging written discovery and taking the deposition of the at-fault driver, we resolved the case for $88,000. Our client, received $158,000 total for two crashes that occurred within two months of each other.
Our client was a passenger on a Cape County Transit Authority bus which was rear-ended at a stop sign by a Southeast Missouri University (SEMO) painter driving a cargo van. The SEMO employee admitted fault at the scene of the crash but then during his deposition, attempted to shift blame to the bus driver. We were able to use his statements immediately following the impact and the statements of the investigating police officer to build a solid case of liability.
Despite the SEMO employee claiming the impact was simply a “bump”, we developed evidence showing the property damage to both vehicles, which were quite heavy, was moderate. Our client suffered disc herniations requiring injections for several years. Although the defense tried to argue that our client must not have been too injured as he was able to continue his preaching duties at his church and go on road trips with his wife, we secured the opinions from his treating physicians and were able to demonstrate that our client was merely trying to move on with his life, despite his injuries. Ultimately, the defense agreed to pay our client $140,000 for what he suffered as a result of the crash.
Our client was struck by a driver who ran a red light while working for his employer. As a direct result of the crash, our client suffered a concussion which resulted in blurred vision for which she treated for many months. She also suffered a leg injury. The defense argued that her blurred vision and leg symptoms stemmed from uncontrolled diabetes, not the crash. The defense also argued that because many of plaintiff’s medical bills were paid by Medicaid, the amount of bills presented to the jury would be greatly reduced at trial. Through legal research and discussion, we were successful in convincing opposing counsel that his position was legally incorrect. The case resolved for $117,500.
