$7.5 millionSettlement

Marc Breakstone secured a $7.5 million wrongful death settlement for the family of William 'Billy' Nichols, a 46-year-old electrician killed in a July 2010 propane explosion at a Norfolk condominium construction site, after proving that a propane distributor's deliberate under-filling of a new tank caused the safety odorant to dissipate, leaving a deadly gas leak completely undetectable.
