Case Study: Fighting for Maximum Compensation in a Wrongful Death Case
In one particularly tragic wrongful death case, we represented a family whose loved one was killed in a collision with a large commercial truck. The loss was devastating, and while no amount of money could ever replace the life that was lost, our goal was to secure the maximum compensation possible to provide the family with some measure of justice and support during their time of need.
After relentless negotiations, we were able to recover $1,000,000 from the insurance policy covering the truck. This was the full extent of the truck’s insurance coverage, as the driver himself had no personal assets that could contribute to the settlement. However, we didn’t stop there. Through thorough investigation and determined legal strategy, we discovered that the trucking
company had negligently hired the driver. As a result, we pursued additional compensation from the business and successfully secured an additional $300,000 for the family.
In total, we were able to recover $1,300,000 for the family, ensuring that every available avenue for compensation was fully explored and exhausted. While nothing could ever fully account for the enormity of their loss, we fought to ensure the family received the justice and financial recovery they deserved.
This case is a powerful reminder that even in the face of limited insurance coverage, our team will pursue every potential source of compensation for our clients. We are committed to holding negligent parties accountable and ensuring that families receive the support they need during life’s most difficult moments.
Case Study: $850,000 Settlement in a Medical Malpractice Case
In another significant medical malpractice case, we successfully recovered $850,000 for our client. We worked with top medical experts to meticulously analyze the case, ultimately proving that the healthcare provider’s negligence caused substantial harm. This settlement was a hard-fought victory that provided our client with the financial support they needed to address the long-term impact of the error.
Medical malpractice cases require a high level of skill, determination, and an understanding of complex medical and legal issues. While not every case meets the legal threshold for medical negligence, when it does, we are committed to fighting for the maximum compensation possible for our clients.
Case Study: Securing $815,500 for a Brain-Injured Child After a Lengthy Legal Battle
In one of our most challenging and rewarding cases, we secured $815,500 for a young child who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. The child was injured while riding with her mother, and the initial insurance coverage available seemed woefully inadequate for the severity of her injuries. The at-fault driver carried only a $25,000 liability policy, and our client's underinsured motorist policy provided just $50,000 in coverage—far from enough to cover the lifetime impact of the child's injury.
However, we were determined to fight for justice. The insurance company refused to pay the underinsured motorist claim, but we didn’t back down. After taking the case to the Arkansas Supreme Court and winning, we secured not only the $50,000 policy but also attorney’s fees and a twelve percent penalty against the insurer. This victory was pivotal in holding the insurance company accountable.
But we didn’t stop there. We continued to pursue a bad faith claim against the insurance company, ultimately recovering hundreds of thousands more on behalf of the child and her family. After years of legal battles and relentless advocacy, what began as a case with just $75,000 in total insurance coverage resulted in an $815,500 recovery—a rare and extraordinary outcome.
This case exemplifies our firm’s unwavering commitment to justice, especially when insurance companies try to deny rightful claims. We fight tirelessly for our clients, no matter how long it takes, to ensure they receive the compensation they deserve. For this family, our persistence made a profound difference in their child’s future.
Case Study: $700,000 Victory in a Premises Liability Case
Premises liability cases can be notoriously challenging, but when negligence leads to serious injury, we’re prepared to fight for justice. In one particularly hard-fought case, we secured a $700,000 settlement for our client who suffered significant and permanent damages on someone else's property.
Premises liability cases often involve complex legal standards, making it rare to see a settlement of this magnitude. However, by proving the extent of our client’s injuries and the property owner’s negligence, we were able to achieve this substantial result. We were relentless in ensuring that the available insurance coverage was maximized, delivering the compensation our client needed to move forward.
Case Study: $587,250 Recovery for Family After Medical Negligence
Medical malpractice cases are notoriously difficult to pursue due to the high bar for proving negligence against a doctor. However, when we believe a case has merit, we are fully committed to seeking justice for our clients. In one such case, we obtained a $587,250 settlement for a family that suffered due to a doctor’s negligence.
After a thorough investigation and collaboration with medical experts, we were able to establish the doctor’s failure to meet the expected standard of care. This failure had a devastating impact on the family, but through dedicated legal advocacy, we secured the compensation they deserved.
While medical malpractice cases are complex and challenging, we believe that holding negligent healthcare providers accountable is crucial for our clients and for improving safety across the medical industry.
Case Study: Achieving a $225,000 Settlement in a Car Accident Case
In a recent car accident case, our client was injured in a collision on city streets in Little Rock. Although her injuries didn’t involve broken bones or require surgery, she endured extensive medical treatment and months of recovery. The physical and emotional toll was significant, and it was critical that she received fair compensation for her suffering and medical expenses.
Thanks to diligent advocacy and strategic negotiations, we secured a $225,000 settlement for our client—well beyond the typical $25,000 insurance policy most drivers carry.
Fortunately, the at-fault driver had greater coverage, which allowed us to obtain the compensation necessary to help our client move forward with her life.
This case exemplifies our firm’s commitment to fighting for every dollar our clients deserve, no matter the circumstances. Even in situations where injuries might not seem catastrophic, we understand the profound impact they can have on someone’s life. That’s why we work tirelessly to ensure our clients receive maximum compensation for their pain, suffering, and ongoing medical needs.
Case Study: Securing $200,000 for a Trip and Fall Injury
In a recent trip and fall case, our client suffered significant injuries after a fall outside a retail store. While she didn’t sustain any broken bones or undergo surgery at the time, her recovery required extensive medical treatment. We knew her case deserved more than what was initially offered, so we took a strategic approach to increase its value.
Through thorough investigation and careful legal argument, we successfully demonstrated that a future surgery was reasonably certain, which added significant value to the claim. Additionally, we were able to prove that the retail store had prior knowledge of the sidewalk defect that caused our client’s fall but failed to take any corrective action. This negligence was a critical factor in securing a favorable outcome for our client.
In the end, we negotiated a $200,000 settlement—ensuring our client received the compensation she needed for her ongoing medical care and future treatment.
This case highlights our commitment to going above and beyond for our clients. By digging deeper and proving both future medical needs and the store's negligence, we were able to secure a settlement that truly reflected the impact of the injury on our client’s life. When the stakes are high, we leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of justice.
Case Study: Securing Justice Despite Limited Resources
One of the most profound cases we handled involved the tragic death of a pedestrian—a beloved woman whose life was cut short when she was struck by a car on the interstate. The emotional devastation for her family was immeasurable. Her life, her value, and the impact of her loss on her loved ones far exceeded any monetary figure. Yet, despite the magnitude of the loss, the at-fault driver had only $50,000 in insurance coverage and no additional assets.
In this heartbreaking situation, the $50,000 insurance policy was the only available compensation. Tragically, the woman had no supplemental coverage of her own that could have provided additional support to her grieving family.
While no amount of money could ever truly reflect the value of her life, we fought to ensure her family received the full amount available—$50,000—knowing it was the maximum we could achieve under the circumstances.
This case underscores the importance of securing sufficient underinsured motorist coverage to protect your family in the event of a catastrophe. At our firm, we are driven by the pursuit of justice and will always fight for the best possible outcome for our clients, no matter the limitations imposed by external factors.
