Questions & Answers

Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.

We represented a woman who suffered very serious injuries when she stepped into a depression in a town park. The depression was covered over by grass that was the same height as the surrounding grass. She fell onto her shoulder, suffering a significant fracture. She went on to develop osteomylitis. An antibiotic bone spacer was surgically placed. The spacer was subsequently removed. Consequently, the woman's arm was disarticulated from her shoulder and was only attached by tendons and muscle. In other words, approximately 6" of bone was missing from the client's upper arm that led into her shoulder. The case proceeded to trial. After five days of trial the case was settled for a substantial seven-figure amount.
