A 14-year-old boy who was a non-swimmer went wading at a friend’s family’s apartment complex pool and was found at the bottom of the deep end of the pool; he was unconscious when pulled out by the EMT and remained comatose for two years until his death.  The parent’s pastor referred them to the Firm. The Firm’s investigation revealed that the company which owned and operated the apartments had failed to install an emergency phone at the pool and failed to have other required safety equipment available.  Although the apartment company denied any responsibility for the boy’s injury and death, its insurance company was convinced to pay the total settlement demand to the boy’s parents.  (The company insisted on confidentiality as to the settlement amount.)

The Firm represented an Atlanta physician whose daughter had suffered moderate brain damage resulting from improperly dispensed medicine.  A law firm specializing in pharmaceutical malpractice was associated and, on the eve of a jury trial, the defendant’s insurance company paid the settlement demand.

The parents of a teenage girl, who had been injured on a college campus, were dissatisfied with their prior attorney’s advice to settle for $300,000; they sought a second opinion from the Firm.  After reviewing the facts and explaining the applicable New Jersey law (which was quite different from Georgia law) to the Clients’ prior attorney, the Firm worked with the prior attorney, prepared and submitted a video settlement demand package to the defendant’s liability insurer, and obtained the full policy limits of $1,000,000 for the injured student.

A 15-year-old girl riding her bicycle on a neighborhood street was struck by a school bus operated by a local church.  The church claimed that it was immune from liability as a religious institution, and that the young girl had caused the accident herself.  The girl suffered multiple injuries, including a spinal cord injury, and the parents’ medical insurance was insufficient to cover the significant expenses incurred.  The Firm was able to overcome the immunity defense, prove the bus driver’s negligence, and obtain the maximum payout from the church’s liability carrier, thereby providing the financial resources for the parents to pay for extensive rehabilitation therapies for their daughter.
