The personal injury attorneys at Jacoby & Jacoby are proud of the results on behalf of our clients. Each case is different and is evaluated on its each unique set of facts and circumstances.
Below is a partial list of verdicts and settlements that our firm has handled:
$2,000,000.00 Our client was a resident in a Group Home for the disabled. He fell down a flight of stairs due to the negligence of the staff at the residence and sustained a fractured neck. Four months later he died as a result of his injuries. The decedent had no economic loss or dependents, so defendant argued that there was not a wrongful death claim and that the decedent had limited pain and suffering. Our firm negotiated a settlement at mediation for the Estate and fought vigorously on behalf of the estate to get decedent’s Medicaid lien reduced down.
$1,500,000.00 Our client was involved in a hit in the rear accident with a landscaping truck. She sustained RSD as a result of her injuries and had to have a pain stimulator pump inserted into her spine for relief. Her case settled at a mediation after jury selection in which defendants offered 15 times more than their original offer at the first mediation with our firm.
$1,150,000.00 Our client was walking as a pedestrian when defendant lost control of her car and accelerated through a wooden gate at a storage facility. As a result the wood broke off and struck our client in the head causing significant injuries.
$1,080,000.00 Our client was a non-seat belted passenger in a vehicle driven by her husband. She sustained significant scarring and a comminuted distal radius fracture for which he underwent surgery that included hardware. Defendant’s argued that had our client been wearing her seatbelt her injuries would not have occurred. After a 5 day trial, our firm was able to establish through the biomechanical engineer, accident reconstructionist, and two orthopedics that our firm hired on behalf of the client that her injuries would have occurred whether she was wearing her seatbelt or not because of the airbag deployment. The verdict was reduced to $805,000.00 due to the jury finding our client’s comparative negligence. Defendants made a post-trial inconsistent verdict motion to set aside the verdict, which our office opposed and won.
$1,000,000.00 Our client was on her lunch break when she was in an accident with the defendant who was dropping off mail and in the course of her employment at the time of the accident. The defendant had a limited policy, but after depositions we were able to bring in her employer who had a much larger policy. This case was settled at a mediation prior to trial.
$875,000.00 Our client was in a hit in the rear accident. She injured her neck and underwent surgery. Our client was 64 at the time of the accident, but she had a documented long history of working overtime, which she no longer could do. Defendant’s claimed that she was eligible to retire, but our firm was able to prove that she planned on working until 75. Through our economist report and the fact she was approved for Social Security Disability as a result of the injuries she sustained in the accident we were able to secure the above settlement for our client during a mediation.
$700,000.00 Our client was injured while he was working in a construction zone and a dump truck struck him and rolled over his leg. The client underwent surgery and returned to work 3 months later. Defendant’s argued that the back-up alarm was working on the dump truck and were claiming that defendant’s were not liable for the accident. After attending a multi hour deposition our office was able to secure a settlement for the client.
$650,000.00 and $100,000.00 Our clients were a husband and wife in an ride share vehicle. Defendant’s argued that the Uber driver was not liable; however our client’s had a different story. After depositions our firm was able to establish that both drivers were liable in this accident. The wife underwent a neck surgery and we settled her case with both carriers for $650,000.00 and her husband who had far less injuries for $100,000.00.
$600,000.00 Our client was involved in a head on collision in which it was an issue of who crossed over the double yellow line. Defendant’s made a motion for summary judgment on liability and our firm hired an accident reconstructionist to dispute the motion and we won. Afterwards both firms agreed to go to mediation and we were able to secure a settlement on behalf of our client.
$525,000.00 Our client was 45-year old mother who was separated from her husband at the time was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident involving a mini bus. Sadly our client lost consciousness upon impact and died as a result of her injuries a few hours after the accident. Even with questionable conscious pain and suffering our office was able to secure the above settlement.
$500,000.00 Our client was involved in a rear end motor vehicle accident in which he injured his back, which he was still treating for at the time of the accident. Our client had surgery. Defendant claimed that the injury was pre-existing. Our office argued that the injury was an exacerbation that led to the need for our client to needing surgery. Our office settled this case during a mediation.
