He sustained disc injuries requiring extensive conservative treatment including a rhizotomy.  Both he and the defendant driver testified they had the green light but our firm’s investigation discovered a witness who lived near the scene that confirmed plaintiff’s version of the accident.

Settlement in a Bucket Truck accident where our South American client was injured when he was extended in an outstretched bucket truck which struck a wire causing him to fall and be severely injured.

Our client was the driver of a car in Philadelphia County, in the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  She was rear-ended, and suffered neck injuries.  She was having a very difficult time staying at her job and working because of the pain and limitations.  We made a claim for lost wages, and pain and suffering.  We were able to prove her loss of income due to the car Accident, and reached a settlement before trial.

Early on a sunny summer morning, a 50 year old manufacturing employee was assigned to trim trees along his employer’s factory property line.  He was found dead mid-morning, beneath a tree, with burn marks into and through one of his thighs.  No one knew what happened. There were no witnesses. He was survived by his wife and two teenage daughters. After we performed immediate and thorough investigation, the accident was reconstructed and suit was brought against the utility company which had ran a very high voltage tension wire along the property line near the tree.  One of the theories was that the utility company sold a defective product that was not properly packaged which caused the electrocution. The high voltage wire was not strung taunt enough nor insulated sufficiently to prevent its electricity from arcing into the dew covered tree and through the decedent’s thigh, causing him to be thrown from the tree and electrocuted.  The case settled at the court house shortly before the commencement of trial for $900,000+.

Our client had a 10% off coupon that she was going to a grocery chain store to use to buy some needed items.  The store had problems processing the coupon and had to walk her over to the customer service desk to resolve the issue.  While she was walking over to the desk she slipped on a substance that neither she nor the store manager noticed, and fell.  She injured her ankle, which required surgery.  She also injured her back.  We were able to prove that the store should have been aware of this puddle on the floor and should have taken action to prevent the public from being injured on the dangerous condition they let sit on their floor.  This case was settled without the need for a lengthy and costly trial.
