Four separate defendants, from private companies to a state agency, shared some connection to the crash. Rather than accept responsibility, each one pointed to someone else.
The first offer to settle the case was $100,000.
After we built the file and established the facts of what really happened, the defendants came to the table for a two-day mediation, a private process where both sides present their case to a neutral person who works to resolve it.
As a result, we recovered $1.1+ million, which was 11 times the opening offer.
No settlement could ever undo what happened to our client. What it did was make sure her injuries were taken seriously and answered in full. That is the standard we bring to every case: thorough preparation and a refusal to accept less than what our clients deserve.
