Landrum v. Doe: $4,700,000 (Pedestrian v. Truck)
         On August 30, 2005, plaintiff, Donna Landrum, was sitting at a bus stop when an out-of-control big rig hit her. She suffered serious injuries to her shoulder, arm and legs and required multiple surgeries. Her legs are permanently damaged. Settled against defendant truck company for $4,700,000.

Roe v. Doe: $555,000 (Single vehicle accident)
         Plaintiff was a passenger in a vehicle owned and operated by defendant. The vehicle driven by defendant hydroplaned from the #4 lane of the freeway, traveling sideways striking a light pole which sheared from its base on impact. The impact resulted in the death of our client. It was raining at the time of the accident, and although the police report placed the fault on the defendant, she had only a $15,000 policy. An action was brought against CALTRANS for dangerous condition. The case against CALTRANS was for missing signs and for slippery conditions on the roadway. It was a difficult case in that not many accidents had occurred in this section of highway. We settled for $500,000 from CALTRANS, the $15,000 policy and $40,000 personal payment from the defendant.

Roe v. Doe: $535,000 (Third Party - Uninsured worker's compensation)
         Plaintiff was working as a machinist when his employer ordered him to assist in loading a large bailer on the back of a tractor trailer truck. His employer was operating the forklift, the truck was owned by another party and the bailer was to be delivered to a waste company. In moving the bailer, Plaintiff was crushed between the bailer and the trailer of the big rig. We sued the employer (who did not have workers compensation insurance or any other insurance), the truck owner (who did not have insurance or assets) and the waste company (who had insurance but no liability under the law). We settled with the waste company for $50,000 and the truck owner for $10,000. We pierced the corporate veil of the Plaintiff's employer and sued the owners. We settled with them for $375,000.

Roe v. Doe: $650,000 (Auto v. Auto)
         On December 23, 2005, at about 9:45 p.m., Jane Doe was driving a 2005 Toyota Camry northbound on Riverside Avenue in Rialto, California.  She had four passengers. The Camry was waiting to turn in the inside left turn lane at the intersection of Riverside Avenue and Ayala Drive, when it was rear-ended by a stolen 2004 Chevrolet. Plaintifff suffered a traumatic brain injury and severe personal injuries. Another passenger died as a result of the incident.

Roe v. Doe: $2,200,000 (Third Party - Auto v. Pedestrian)
         On October 10, 2004, 20-year old Plaintiff was run over by a "yard goat" (equivalent in size to the truck cab portion of a big rig, 18 wheeler) at a truck yard while she was working as a security guard. On the date of injury, Plaintiff had just started her third day on the job. The yard goat hit Plaintiff and threw her to the pavement where she struck her head, it drove over her right leg causing a degloving injury and she had to have her spleen removed. She made a fairly good recovery from her injuries except for her leg which had permanent scarring and loss of muscle and tissue mass. She walked without a limp or assistance. She did have some short term memory loss. We settled with the trucking company after the first expert deposition for $2,200,000. Plaintiff will receive more than $3,000,000 over her lifetime.

Holden v. Doe: $2,500,000 (Auto v. Pedestrian)
         Lawrence Holden was struck by a car on August 26, 2004, at approximately 11:30 p.m. Plaintiff Lawrence Holden was returning from a purchase at the liquor store with his friend when they left the median on La Brea Avenue, and were crossing La Brea Avenue at its intersection with Buckthorn Street in an unmarked crosswalk at the time of the incident. The driver of the Nissan 350Z hit Plaintiff, but did not stop and was apprehended later by police. He was cited for felony hit and run, but was not faulted as the cause of the accident by police. Plaintiff suffered massive brain injury which has left him unable to speak, walk or take care of himself. Complicating this case was a long felony history of Plaintiff, including a gunshot wound to the head suffered from the Avalon Crips. The automobile policy was $30,000 which was initially demanded and not paid. The insurance company settled for $2.5 million. Plaintiff Holden will receive almost $6,000,000 over his lifetime.

Doe v. Roe: $2,900,000 (Motorcycle/Products)
         On October 26, 2003, our client, an 18-year old male, was driving his just purchased motorcycle in Oxnard. As he was driving down the street, the kickstand came down which struck the pavement causing the bike to veer out of control and he struck a palm tree. He had a helmet on which was ornamental, but did not meet safety requirements. He suffered massive head and facial injuries. He is unable to speak, walk or care for himself. The defendants were the motorcycle shop that sold the cycle on consignment, the kickstand manufacturer and distributor. The family testified that prior to the date of the accident, they and our client were aware that the kickstand was malfunctioning. The various defendants settled for a total settlement of $2.9 million. Plaintiff will receive almost $8 million over his lifetime.
