Representative Matters

  • A young woman who recently underwent a liver transplant was injured while she was an unbelted front-seat passenger in a two-car collision in Union City. As a result of the accident, our client was thrown from the car and suffered a variety of injuries, including a back herniation, ruptured spleen, broken jaw and pelvic fractures.  Claims were asserted on our client’s behalf against both drivers and the city, alleging the accident was caused, in part, by a malfunctioning traffic control signal. As a result of extensive investigation and heated litigation, we successfully resolved the case in our client’s favor with all parties contributing to the recovery.
  • $300,000 settlement resulting from a hip fracture due to a trip and fall
