Plaintiffs: the parents of a 23-year-old addict, who died of a drug overdose after years of abusing narcotic pain medication. His dealer: the pain management specialist who wrote prescriptions for cash. Client: the pharmacy who supplied the medication. Case settled for $50,000, despite allegations of conspiracy which could have overcome the MIRCA limits and an investigation by the DEA.

Plaintiff, a late 50’s married father of two children stepped into an unsecured ventilation shaft and fell 16 feet onto a concrete floor, sustaining spinal fractures.  Confidential Air Conditioning, the client, had an indemnity agreement which required it to defend the general contractor.  From a demand of millions of dollars, the case settled for $550,000 with the general  picking up almost ½ the settlement despite the indemnity agreement.

Plaintiff, a college-aged student, was eating a hamburger at the client’s restaurant when he was stabbed in the neck by a homeless person. The knife nicked his spinal column, causing nerve damage and a life-long, permanent, and disfiguring injury. Through hard work and an aggressive litigation plan, the case was dismissed by summary judgment motion.
