Proven verdicts and settlements won by Lightfoot Law
DeAngelo Green, a 32-year-old maintenance technician, was killed shortly before noon on March 9, 2018 when a DC Fire and EMS engine on an emergency run reached about 54 miles an hour in a 30 mile an hour zone and went through a red light at 12th Street and Rhode Island Avenue NE, striking his car as he crossed on a green light. A first jury found the firefighter grossly negligent but also found Green contributorily negligent, so the verdict went to the District; the trial judge then held that instruction was wrong, entered judgment for the estate on liability, and ordered a new trial on damages alone. On February 22, 2024, the damages jury returned seven itemized awards to Green's widow and his six children totaling $13,574,680.95. The District appealed, and the DC Court of Appeals heard argument in December 2025 with the case still under advisement.
