$750,000 Auto Accident Settlement

Posted on December 5, 2023December 11, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Attorney Meredith Drukker Stratigopoulos is ready to spring into action to help her clients whenever they need her. In her most recent settlement, her client was in his lane, traveling at the speed of traffic when the defendant rear-ended out client and threw him off the road so hard that his vehicle flipped. Our client was fortunate to walk away from the accident with his life but still suffered serious injuries to his back.

From the very beginning of the case Meredith with help from Attorney Oscar Quiroz, along with their team, took an aggressive approach to the litigation process to submit all evidence and a quick trial timetable. This proved effective because her client was able to settle their case for $750,000.

We are so proud of this team and their steadfast work ethic to help reduce the amount of time our client had to delay their road to recovery. They hit the ground running as soon as they could, and the results reflected that.

Great job, team!

$2 Million Workplace Accident Settlement

Posted on August 16, 2023December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

While working in a closet, our client stepped on a piece of foam that was covering a hole in the top floor causing him to fall through to the bottom story. The previous crew that was working in the closet had removed an A/C return unit and failed to properly provide a warning about the hole in the floor. In fact, all they did was cover it with that piece of foam which gave off the impression there was not a hole in the floor.

Our attorneys Jorge Mares, Ana Diaz, and Oscar Quiroz along with their team helped our client obtain the justice they deserved after they sustained life-altering injuries to their head, neck, back, shoulder, and elbows. Our team helped prove that the previous crew was negligent in their actions and in doing so, created a dangerous condition for our client. At the end of the day, the defense had only one choice but to settle and award our client the entire $2,000,000.00 that their client had. We are so happy that we could be there for our client and help him after such an unfortunate, but preventable, incident. Great job, team!

Remember, injuries can happen anywhere, even professionals cut corners. If you’re hurt at a job site, please make sure you hire attorneys that know how to maximize your recovery!

Aviation Accident Settlement

Posted on August 18, 2022December 12, 2024 by Schuyler Donaldson

Aviation crashes occur for a variety of reasons, however, they should not happen because a component in the aircraft was improperly manufactured. Our client, an experienced fixed-wing and helicopter pilot, was piloting a helicopter when the tail rotor pinion shaft fractured between the bevel gear and the helical gear. The fracture resulted in an in-flight tail rotor drive failure, causing the helicopter to crash.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Upon further investigation attorneys Shalimar Wallis and Oscar Quiroz, along with their team, found that the pinion gear shaft failed because it did not meet the manufacturing specifications. Specifically, the manufacturer failed to ensure that the shaft was heat treated in accordance with specifications. Further, the manufacturer did not even have a process in place to verify that the parts it manufactured for use in the subject helicopter complied with the design specifications. This represents a gross deviation from the industry standards.

Our client, who was a highly experienced pilot and had more flight hours than every expert that was involved in the case, was fortunate enough to survive the crash but suffered multiple fractures, contusions, and a broken knee. He will likely never return to his pre-crash condition. Luckily our team was able to thoroughly work this case to find the opposing party at fault resulting in a settlement.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This crash could have been prevented had the manufacturer adhered to the design specifications or had it taken the proper steps to verify that the end product complied with the design parameters. Our team held this entity accountable for their carelessness which resulted in our client’s extensive injuries and damages. Great job, team!
