• 2018: $1.4 Million Verdict. A 35-year-old woman needed surgery to take out a laparoscopic gastric band because it was causing gastric reflux. The doctor used a visiport trocar to cut into the patient's stomach. He violated a key rule of surgery: don't cut if you don't know where you are. He hit her aorta which put her into shock.

Without observing the Plaintiff’s vehicle approaching the intersection, the Defendant pulled forward, right into Plaintiff’s path. Plaintiff’s ankle was shattered, causing a life-altering injury. Allstate, the Defendant’s insurance company, made a disconcerting pre-suit offer of $70,000 which they increased to $140,000 before trial. No negotiating. Just Allstate dictating the value of the case. As a defense lawyer told a reporter after the trial, we were confident in our case and had no interest in engaging Allstate in their effort to low-ball our client. Thankfully, our client saw it the same way and rejected these ridiculously low offers. We proceeded to trial where a Prince George’s County jury awarded her $928,000 after deliberating less than an hour.

• 2012: 45,000 Verdict. Plaintiff, a 43-year-old barber, claims soft tissue cervical and lumbar injuries, as well as aggravation of a knee injury, as the result of a rear-end accident.

Plaintiff seeks $200,000 including $5,200 in past medical bills, $40,000 in future expected medical costs, and $15,000 in lost wages from the defendant driver, as well as plaintiff’s own insurance company. The jury awards $45,000. Western Union (25,000) and UIM (50,000 limits) is State Farm.
