The majority of my Boulder City clients seek my services for estate planning, probate, real estate and business law. Many people are surprised to learn that I have handled several hundred personal injury cases over the years. The amount which an injured person can recover from a negligent party always depends on fault, injuries, medical expenses and loss of income, as well as the insurance coverage of the defendant. While most cases are less severe than these, the following list of my cases are examples of possible settlements or verdicts:

$10 million from a casino for negligent security resulting in the injury of a young bystander when an intoxicated customer became involved in a violent altercation with other customers.

$8.5 million from the utility company for severe injuries to a woman in a vehicle accident.

$6.5 million for the wrongful death of a woman in a car accident. Settlement value was increased by asserting punitive damages based on a dangerous customized bumper on a utility company’s vehicle.

$4.5 million jury verdict against an insurance company for the death of a businessman in a motor vehicle accident after the Nevada Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s dismissal of the case.

$2.6 million for wrongful death of an elderly man.

$1.8 million for injuries in a trucking case.

$1 million for injuries in multi-car accident.

Numerous large settlements despite police findings that our clients were at fault.

If you are ever injured and believe that another person is responsible, seek medical treatment, report it to your own insurance company, and if the injuries are significant, see an experienced attorney.
