Over $500 Million Recovered for Our Clients

Accident Type: Head-on Collision
Case Details: After a terrible head-on collision, our client hired The Advocates to help him obtain compensation for his injuries and losses. During inclement weather, another vehicle drove over a patch of ice, lost control of his vehicle, and collided head-on into our client’s vehicle. The insurance provider initially refused to make a reasonable offer, but our attorneys were able to negotiate a settlement for the policy’s maximum limits.

Accident Type: Drunk Driver Crash
Case Details: After a man spent the evening drinking in a local bar, he got behind the wheel of his vehicle and ran over and killed a man. Unfortunately, the drunk driver responsible for his death did not have enough insurance to adequately compensate the family for their loss. However, the attorney was able to prove the bar over-served the driver with alcohol and was, therefore, negligent as well for the death of the man. The case settled for the limits of the at-fault driver and the bar.

Accident Type: Rear End Collision
Case Details: Our client was at a stop in his work van when a fully-loaded semi-trailer pushed a flatbed truck into the back of his vehicle. The client sustained injuries to his left arm, as well as his neck, and required a cervical decompression and fusion at 2 levels the following year. At a mediation, defendants offered $65,000, which they then increased to $300,000.00 a week before trial. Our team demanded $660,000, but withdrew the offer prior to trial. Moments before closing argument, defense tendered their $1,000,000 dollar policy limits.

Accident Type: Sideswipe Accident
Case Details: Our client was driving to the clinic where she worked as a social worker when her car was sideswiped by another vehicle. The driver responsible for the crash claimed to be traveling at too low a speed to have caused injury. Our attorneys hired an expert and were able to prove the precise angle of the crash, in fact, caused severe injuries to our client’s neck. The Advocates filed a lawsuit and the insurance provider eventually agreed to a $1 million settlement for our client.

Accident Type: Semi-Truck Head-on Crash
Case Details: Our client was driving for work when he was struck head-on by a semi-truck double-hauler trailer. The crash investigation revealed the driver had been driving too fast for the icy road conditions and lost control of his truck. Our client was life-flighted to the nearest hospital to treat his serious injuries. Our attorneys hired an expert to prove our client’s economic losses from the accident. The Advocates demanded bodily injury policy limits of $1,000,000 and the defendant’s insurance company had no choice but to pay our client the damages he was legally owed.

Accident Type: Fatal Car Accident
Case Details: A man was struck by a vehicle in a parking lot and eventually succumbed to his injuries. The defendant responsible for the pedestrian crash claimed a surveillance video proved the client was not paying attention and walked directly into traffic. The litigation team obtained additional evidence and hired experts to prove the defendant was liable for the accident. The defendant had no choice but to pay our attorney’s client full insurance limits without litigation.

Accident Type: Passenger in Auto Accident
Case Details: Our client sustained significant injuries following an accident that occurred while she was a passenger. The vehicle was struck in an intersection following another car’s failure to stop at a red light. The collision’s impact caused multiple fractures and she was immediately taken to the hospital. Even after surgery, our client continued to have difficulty gripping and lifting things with her right hand and experienced severe pain from herniated disks in her neck.

Accident Type: Bus Accident
Case Details: A woman was riding as a passenger on a bus when it veered off its course and crashed into a utility pole. Following a string of unsuccessful treatments at a chiropractor and a physical therapist, the client had no other choice but to undergo multiple injections into her back. After receiving a final offer of $200,000 for her injuries and losses, the litigation attorney took her case before a jury and won a verdict just shy of a million dollars.

Accident Type: Rear-end Car Crash
Case Details: Client was rear-ended by a private company box truck while slowing to make a right-turn into a parking lot. Her injuries required painful treatment and rehabilitation, ultimately totaling over $160,000 in medical bills as well as substantial damage to her vehicle and significant lost wages.

Accident Type: Hit While Standing in Crossing Area
Case Details: Our client was waiting in the center of a crossing area when a driver failed to spot him and turned into the center lane, striking him and causing multiple injuries. He broke his leg and wrist along with fracturing multiple ribs and his pelvis. Given the significance of the injuries and the massive impact on our client’s quality of life, The Advocates’ team was able to obtain policy limits prior to trial.

Accident Type: Rear-ended by a Bus
Case Details: While sitting in traffic, a driver was suddenly rear-ended by a bus. The client’s injuries were so severe, he needed surgery to repair the damage to his neck. The defendant denied fault for the accident, insisting the neck surgery was not related to the crash. During the trial, the defendant relented and finally offered a just settlement.

Accident Type: Tooth Extraction Leading to Partial Jaw Removal
Case Details: Client was undergoing a tooth extraction when the dentist persisted despite her multiple attempts to halt the procedure due to pain. Patient said she was ultimately sent home with, “a giant hole left into my sinuses.” This was later diagnosed as being the result of her upper right jawbone being removed during the initial procedure. After failing to reach a fair agreement for damages, a jury awarded our client $525,823 at trial.
