Financial Advisor Sustains Knee Cap Fracture In Car Crash

In a lawsuit on behalf of a 63 year old financial advisor who suffered a knee cap fracture in a car crash, the insurance company for the at fault driver soon tendered the bodily injury liability policy limits of merely $100,000. But David's own insurance company refused to pay any uninsured motorist benefits believing that he had been fully compensated. Top medical experts were retained by attorney Robert M. Roselli to analyze the injury and were convinced that the injury was far more serious than thought, leaving David was now predisposed to suffer serious ligament injuries that required further surgery. With these additional expert opinions and analysis of our clients injuries, an additional $285,000 in underinsured motorist benefits was recovered from our clients automobile insurance company for a total recovery of $385,000.

Road Trip To University Of Florida Turns Tragic For Miami College Students

When Albert D. awoke in a north Florida hospital, barely able to move, the last thing he remembered was riding with friends in a van they rented for a road trip to Gainseville. The family immediately retained attorney Robert M. Roselli who initiated an immediate investigation and learned that the driver of the van fell asleep and the van veered off the road, slamming into an embankment before landing upside down in tree canopy below. Automotive engineers were retained by Mr. Roselli to analyze potential vehicle malfunction or defect, but it was ultimately determined that sole cause of the crash was driver error. Ultimately, a substantial recovery was obtained for Albert who suffered serious injuries to his head and face in this unfortunate and avoidable automobile accident.

Mother Dies Hours After Giving Birth

Connie was a loving wife and mother looking forward to the birth of her second child. Unfortunately, her doctor ignored Connie's history of pre-eclampsia during her first pregnancy and failed to take appropriate steps when she developed this condition during her second pregnancy. Connie's tragic and avoidable death just hours after giving birth left a new born motherless and her husband and six year old son emotionally devastated.

A lawsuit was brought against Connie's Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OBGYN), resulting in a substantial recovery for her husband and children. Although no amount of money can compensate for the loss of a wife and mother, at least it may ease the burden of the financial consequences.

Low Impact Car Crash Aggravates Pre-Existing Cervical Degeneration

Marta C., a 43 year old single mom and part time housekeeper from Columbia, was rear-ended by an SUV leaving little damage to her car and none to the Defendant's vehicle. However, her persistent cervical pain following the crash led to epidurals and eventually surgery. The typical defenses of minimal property damage and preexisting cervical degeneration were raised after litigation commenced following a pre-suit offer of $7,500.00. A demand for judgment for $250,000 was ignored. After depositions of the defense doctors went badly for the Defense, the insurer settled the case before trial for $400,000.00.

School Teacher Rendered Quadriplegic After Eating Contaminated Hot Dog - Then Dies

Christine B., a 57 year old school teacher was rendered a quadriplegic and ultimately died after nearly two (2) years and over $1 million in medical bills. She contracted Listeriosis from eating contaminated hot dogs and lunchmeats processed and sold by a large supermarket chain. Unlike other pathogens, listeria monocytogenes [LM] may not manifest symptoms for several weeks leading to a delayed diagnosis, long after the food product and packaging are gone. For that reason, LM cases are complex and costly, requiring complex expert analysis of the DNA (serotype) of the pathogen and the eating and shopping habits of the victim to establish the causal connection between the illness and the food product. Contentious litigation and discovery revealed that the processing plant had an alarming history of product contamination that was ignored by management so as to avoid a massive recall. The plant shipped over 1.7 million pounds of product to its supermarkets during this time and it was only after the lab tipped off the USDA that a massive recall was initiated. By then it was too late for Christine and the bacteria attacked and destroyed her cervical spinal cord. Christine was survived by three adult daughters who continue to be haunted by the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness while watching their mother suffer the nightmare of horrors of quadriplegia until she died. After over four years of litigation the case was settled for a substantial confidential sum.
