Questions & Answers
Please describe a case in the last year or two where you made a big difference.
Our client was seriously injured in a store front crash while walking into a store being hit by a teenaged driver. The bollards were placed to protect the building and not the customer.

Our client was bit by a dog and his upper lip was severed causing nerve damage and a partial speech impediment. We brought a claim against the homeowner and was successful in obtaining a large settlement for our client. Our client was t-boned at an intersection resulting in fractures and soft tissue injuries.
