• $1,029,000.00 Jury Verdict
  Trial Attorneys Jeffrey T. Roberts and Michael Jeandron, of The Roberts Law Firm, secured a 1.02 million dollar jury verdict in Orange County Superior Court on May 24, 2018. After a two week trial, the jury found that Roadrunner Sports Inc., a chain retail store, was responsible for negligently designing a 5K run/walk route through a construction zone. A woman participating in the 5K tripped and fell on a .67 inch uneven surface while walking. She broke her knee cap and passed out from the pain. The jury awarded the full medical bills ($29,026.29) and 1 million dollars for pain and suffering. Defendant’s last highest offer a week before trial was $55,000. Plaintiff offered to settle for $500,000 (C.C.P 998) three months before trial and the offer was ignored. The jury trial was phase two of a bifurcated trial in which phase one dealt with the enforceability of an electronic waiver that Roadrunner Sports Inc. claimed the plaintiff signed online. The judge ruled that the electronic waiver was unenforceable and phase two commenced 30 days later. Since 2014, trial attorneys Roberts and Jeandron have teamed up to try six jury trials together, each of them victories far in excess of the last highest offer. Roberts is a member of the American Board of Trial Advocates and has been named a Super Lawyer since 2016. Jeandron was named as a Top 40 Under 40 trial lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers in March of this year. Combined, Roberts and Jeandron have over 25 years of legal experience helping those injured in personal injury and wrongful death cases across Southern California.

• $1.49 million jury verdict
  Attorneys Jeffrey Roberts and Michael Jeandron obtained a 1.49 million dollar jury verdict in Orange County Superior court for a police officer injured in a motorcycle versus vehicle traffic collision. The officer was on his way home from work when the driver of the SUV failed to yield at a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. The officer sustained a severely broken leg which required two surgeries to repair. The jury found the SUV driver was 100% at fault for the collision and awarded plaintiff’s full damages.

• $6,600,000 Settlement
  A drunk driver drove into a construction zone on the freeway striking and killing a young man. His family sued the contractor for their failure to place barricades in front of the construction zone which would have alerted the drunk driver of the presence of construction.
