RECENT RESULTS

1. We obtained the maximum amount of available insurance, $1.5 million, for a client injured in a truck collision. Our client's serious injuries prevented him from returning to a successful career as a machinist, including physical injuries and a closed head injury that resulted in organic mood disorder. Before trial, the insurance companies paid their policy limits, $1.5 million, to our client to resolve the case.

2. Our firm represented the widow of a Deputy Sheriff who was killed attempting to serve a warrant. We assisted our client in setting up an estate and in obtaining compensation available to the families of slain law enforcement officers. We did not charge a fee, but saw it is a matter of public service.

3. After a collapse during construction of Philips Arena in Atlanta, the firm represented the widow of an ironworker who was killed. By working with experts who had been involved in large construction projects such as the Georgia Dome and Turner Field, the firm uncovered the reasons for the collapse and filed a detailed lawsuit against eleven of the participants in the Arena construction. The case settled after only one deposition on terms favorable to our client.

4. The firm won the highest verdict in a wrongful death case in Rockdale County, Georgia. We represented the family of a deceased repairman who was electrocuted while performing mechanical repairs for the City of Conyers Water Department. Our investigation proved that the City knew of electrical dangers inside the manhole vault where the plaintiff's decedent was performing his work, but failed either to repair them or to warn of the electrical dangers. The verdict of $4.735 million resulted in a settlement after trial.
