2.25 Million Dollar Auto Accident Settlement

Posted on March 12, 2025April 8, 2025 by Schuyler Donaldson

In a hard-fought battle against the defense, Attorneys Jennifer Neal, Mike Murray, and Julie Matsen demanded justice and received a 2.25 MILLION DOLLAR settlement for their clients.

Our clients were driving a pickup truck with a ball hitch on the back. Another truck pulling a heavy water tank rear-ended our clients while weaving in and out of traffic. The accident appeared minor because there was only a small amount of damage to the bumper of our client’s pickup.

But dashcam footage showed the real story. The force of the crash was, for the most part, absorbed by the ball hitch. This didn’t stop the force of the sudden impact from traveling through the frame of the pickup, tossing the occupants around, and causing our clients severe neck and back injuries. The defense even tried to avoid disclosing insurance policies meant to cover our clients’ injuries.

Jennifer ensured her clients’ voices were heard when the odds were against them. Our team’s persistence led to justice for our clients in what originally seemed like a simple fender bender. Things are not always what they appear to be, and our team will uncover the truth at all cost. Kudos, team!

Multi-Million Motorcycle Accident Settlement

Posted on March 7, 2025March 12, 2025 by Schuyler Donaldson

Our client, a motorcyclist wearing proper safety gear, was struck by an 83-year-old driver who failed to yield. As a result of the crash, our client—who was a licensed pilot—sustained head injuries that ultimately disqualified him from passing the required flight medical exam and ultimately disqualified him from his long career as a pilot. A slow-bleed hemorrhage, which went undetected initially, was later discovered when he began experiencing balance and mobility issues.

Attorney Shalimar Wallis and her team conducted only three depositions before submitting a policy limits demand, which was accepted by a prudent defense attorney resulting in a multi-million dollar settlement. Had the case proceeded further, the outcome would have been overwhelmingly in our client’s favor. This is a prime example of how an attorney with thorough experience and top-tier litigation skills can serve justice swiftly. Great job, team!

Seven Figure Trucking Accident Settlement

Posted on December 12, 2024January 2, 2025 by Schuyler Donaldson

Attorneys Jorge Mares and Sommer Hazel along with their team have fought (and won) the good fight AGAIN! Our clients unavoidably hit the defendant tractor-trailer driver after the driver fell asleep, ran off the road, and overcorrected causing the truck to lay down blocking all lanes of traffic in an unlit location. The clients were traveling on the blocked road when they slammed into the truck at 55 miles per hour.

After a thoroughly researched and hard-fought battles with not just the defense, but the insurance companies, Jorge’s unrelenting litigation skills ended up proving victorious for our clients. The team paired iron clad arguments with irrefutable evidence that allowed our clients to win a seven-figure settlement.

This win that left no penny unclaimed was due to the experience and fortitude our team has, and we are so proud of their litigation skills. Great job, team!

Seven Figure Product Liability Settlement

Posted on August 7, 2024December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

When our attorneys help our clients, they immerse themselves and fiercely advocate for justice, and for the past four years, Attorney Erin Rogiers has been fighting.

Erin is one of our product liability expert attorneys who has had extensive experience with proven results. The dedication she applied to this case is proof that her expertise was a key component of the family receiving justice.

Our client purchased a UTV from a local motorsports store for their family to enjoy together. At the store employees’ suggestion, the standard-issue seatbelt was replaced with a four-point racing harness. No instruction or warning about the harness of any kind was provided. They were driving the UTV, attempted to cross through a stream, and it became stuck in a puddle causing it to sink. Due to its complicated design and lack of any instruction, warning, or training, their ten-year-old son was unable to escape from the racing harness and, unfortunately, drowned.

Erin along with Attorneys, Mike Murray and Bailey VanNatta, as well as their team, put their heart and soul into this case to advocate for this family. They worked endlessly to ensure they had ironclad arguments and immovable evidence to help the family obtain justice for something they should not have ever experienced in the first place. Finally, after four long years, justice was delivered, and the defendants settled the case for a seven-figure settlement.

Through unyielding perseverance and unmatched work ethic, our attorneys were able to help the family begin their road to recovery. Although nothing will ever come close to replacing the life that should not have been lost, we are proud we were trusted to help hold the proper people accountable. We are so proud of everyone who helped our clients on this case, great job team!
