$480,000 + $130,000 in Attorney Fees
Car Accident — Jury Verdict
After the defense rejected our client's $375,000 pre-trial offer of settlement under O.C.G.A. § 9-11-68, we took the case to trial and obtained a $480,000 jury verdict. The verdict alone exceeded the pre-trial offer. Because it surpassed 125% of the rejected offer, we were entitled to recover attorney's fees from the date of rejection through judgment. We then negotiated and secured an additional $130,000 in attorney fees paid directly by the defendant's insurer. This outcome shows the strength of making well-supported offers of settlement and our willingness to try cases when insurers refuse to resolve them reasonably.
$2.8 Million
Retail Store Shooting
We secured a $2.8 million settlement on behalf of a client who was shot by a store employee while fleeing the premises after an improper confrontation. Through discovery, we uncovered serious failures in training, supervision, and security protocols, including an employee carrying and using a firearm without proper authorization. By thoroughly investigating the incident and building strong liability evidence, we obtained a substantial recovery that gave our client meaningful compensation without the need for trial.
$5.2 Million
Heavy Equipment Collision — Industrial Site
We secured a $5.2 million settlement on behalf of a client who was seriously injured when heavy equipment struck the vehicle he was occupying at an industrial facility. Our client suffered serious injuries requiring significant medical treatment and resulting in lasting physical limitations. Through extensive discovery and the retention of multiple experts, including a life care planner, engineers, and an economist, we developed compelling evidence of both liability and the full extent of damages. This allowed us to secure a substantial recovery through strategic negotiation.
$8 Million
Sexual Assault — Apartment Complex
We secured an $8 million settlement including structured future payments on behalf of a minor who was sexually assaulted by a maintenance worker at an apartment complex. The assaults occurred over several months after property management ignored multiple prior complaints from residents about the worker's concerning behavior. Despite repeated warnings, management failed to restrict his access to the property or warn tenants. Our client suffered significant harm requiring ongoing care and support. Through thorough investigation and strategic handling, we obtained a substantial recovery that provides meaningful compensation and long-term security for our client without the need for trial.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts.
