7. $615K Combined lawsuit and workers compensation claim filed and settled against oil / gas company for injuries suffered by our client when he was injured working on a gas rig.  We made the companies executives from Texas travel to Pennsylvania to explain their defenses and they could not.  Employee safety is key and they were ignoring that by putting money over safety.
8. $400K Lawsuit involving motorcycle crash.  Rider was sideswiped by elderly driver who crossed over into his lane of traffic.
9. $398K Lawsuit involving a defrauded shareholder in local company.  The defendant initially wanted to pay our client pennies on the dollar.  We aggressively pursued them, froze their assets and made them finally pay every last dime.
10. $390K Lawsuit against insurance company for failing to properly evaluate and pay a claim for a terrible car accident in which our client suffered serious physical and mental injuries.  This was an uninsured motorist claim because the third party who caused the accident did not have a license or insurance to compensate our client.  The client’s insurance company initially only wanted to pay $50,000 but we were able to resolve difficult insurance issues in our client’s favor.  Start to finish we settled this case for our client quickly.
11. $390K  Lawsuit involving claims of bad faith and breach of contract stemming from a car crash.  Insurance company initially denied the claim and we forced them to pay our client.  The insurance company knew if they went before a jury they would have had no defense.
12. $360K Lawsuit involving tractor-trailer crash.  Driver was rear-ended on I83 in York, PA by a truck driver who was not paying attention.  The Defendant actually argued it was not his fault but we overcame this position favorably for our client.
