What happened: Our client worked at an oil field site and suffered an elbow injury while using a pipe press — a hydraulic tool that applies force to join two pieces of pipe. This resulted in our client needing his arm amputated above the elbow, causing considerable distress and having a life-changing impact. The insurance company offered to settle with the client for $350,000. After filing a lawsuit, we negotiated a settlement of nearly four million dollars.
Settlement offer: $350,000.00
Final settlement: $3,925,000.00 (3.92 million dollars)
What happened: A worker operating a company vehicle fell asleep while driving after working an extensively long shift in the early morning hours, leading them to crash into our client’s truck. The insurance company initially rejected the claim, asserting that the accident didn’t happen in the course and scope of employment. After filing a lawsuit and extensive negotiations, we settled the case for almost five million dollars.
Settlement offer: N/A (Claim rejected)
Final settlement: $4,950,00.00 (4.95 million dollars)
What happened: Our client was coming home from work when a company vehicle, operated by a careless employee, failed to yield the right of way at an intersection. This caused the client to T-bone the company vehicle. Our client was a tradesman and couldn’t physically function at work due to his injuries. The insurance company initially offered to settle for $750,000. We believed our client was entitled to much more, especially given that his work and livelihood were affected.

Settlement offer: $750,000.00
Final settlement: $2,900,000.00 (2.9 million dollars)

After we filed a lawsuit, the case was settled for close to a million dollars.
