Significant Representative Matters

  • Defended an insurance producer on a multi-faceted claim which began at $4 million in which a jury ultimately awarded $51,000.

  • Defended a wrongful death claim which settled for $650,000 after two weeks of trial in which the decedent suffered 30 minutes of conscious pain and suffering and his dependents alleged an economic loss of $1.2 million.

  • Successfully defended consolidated claims in excess of $1 million against an oil company, which, after two days of trial, settled collectively for approximately $70,000.

  • Defeated a claim of malpractice against a psychologist in which the plaintiff alleged that he became a patient of the psychologist after becoming part of a family intervention to help his son, who was in therapy, and during which it was revealed that the plaintiff's wife had sexually abused their son, which revelation ruined his marriage.

  • Successfully resolved a $1.5 million claim against a psychiatric hospital for $750,000 in which the decedent committed suicide after being informed prematurely by the hospital that his insurance would not continue to cover his care.
