Proven verdicts and settlements
An 80-year-old woman attending a funeral reception fell down non-uniform exterior stairs at a private club, sustaining a traumatic brain injury, skull and facial fractures, and a shoulder fracture, and settled for $2.3 million in July 2024.
A 55-year-old woman underwent an unnecessarily complex double-fusion bunion surgery that failed to heal properly, requiring three additional procedures before she reached a $775,000 settlement with her podiatrist.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
