$25+ MILLION WRONGFUL DEATH CRASH SETTLEMENT.

Some cases are fought in the trial court.

Some cases are fought on appeal.

This case required both.

We obtained a $25+ million settlement in a wrongful death crash case after handling every major part of the litigation ourselves, including an appeal filed during the case.

We handled the appeal ourselves.

We won.

Then we kept pushing the case forward toward trial.

That matters because an appeal is not just another motion. It is a separate fight in a higher court, with different rules, different strategy, and much higher stakes. A case can be won or lost there before a jury ever hears it.

We did not hand that fight off.

We handled the trial-level litigation. We handled the appeal. We won the appeal. And we ultimately obtained maximum value for the family.

No amount of money can replace a life. But when negligence causes a wrongful death, the family deserves lawyers who can fight everywhere the case goes.

Trial court. Appellate court. Settlement table.

Our client accepted $995,000, taking $5,000 less than the available insurance, because she did not want a confidentiality agreement. She wanted people to know what happened.

South Florida is filled with people getting Botox, filler, and cosmetic injections around the eyes, nose, and forehead. Many patients do not realize how dangerous these procedures can be when performed too deeply, too aggressively, or by the wrong provider.

The area around the eye is unforgiving. A mistake can cause blindness.

This case is a reminder: cosmetic procedures are still medical procedures. Ask questions. Know the risks. Make sure the person holding the needle has the right training for the area being treated.

We are proud we were able to fight for our client, expose what happened, and help deliver a result that allows her story to be told.

A good case has value.

But value does not maximize itself.

Many attorneys can take a good case and get a good result. The difference comes when the lawyer has the skill, creativity, experience, and preparation to turn that good case into an exceptional result.

That does not happen by accident.

It happens by investigating early, preparing relentlessly, proving the full value of the case, and being ready to fight when the insurance company refuses to be fair.

Our great results are no accident.

Three law firms. One defense strategy: deny it exists.

They said the injury wasn’t real.
They pointed to “normal” imaging as proof there was nothing there.

That’s not how brain injuries work.

A traumatic brain injury is a clinical diagnosis. If you know what you’re doing, you can prove it.

Once the pressure was real and the risk shifted, so did their position.

$1.9 million.

Not luck. Leverage.

Not every case settles.

And the ones that do at this level usually have one thing in common.

Pressure.

This case was fought hard. Liability was disputed. The medicine was complicated. Nothing was handed over.

So we prepared it the only way we know how. Like a trial was happening.

Right before jury selection, the number changed.

$17.5 million.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

Insurance companies love the same script: “It’s not that bad.” “Not from the crash.” “Not our problem.”

In this case, they offered very little because they didn’t believe our client’s head injury was serious or even caused by the collision.

So we didn’t wait around. We filed suit immediately, proved the mild traumatic brain injury was legitimate, and proved the defendant’s negligence caused it.

Result: $2.85 MILLION. And they paid more than we demanded before filing suit.

Waymo is officially in Miami.

Everyone loves “the future” until it goes wrong.

We all know technology isn’t perfect. Phones freeze. GPS sends you into a lake. Software glitches. Now imagine that same reality… but the software is driving a 4,000-lb vehicle through Miami traffic, and there’s no human behind the wheel to correct it when it gets it wrong.

A split-second mistake can mean:
• a sudden stop for no reason
• a missed pedestrian or cyclist
• an unsafe turn or lane change
• a crash nobody saw coming… because nobody was actually “driving”

Robotaxis raise real safety and liability questions. And when tech fails, the people inside and around the car pay the price.

If you or someone you love is hurt in a crash involving autonomous tech, we know how to investigate what really happened and who’s responsible.

$4.5 MILLION verdict.
$50,000 was their “best” offer before trial.

A property owner’s neglected gate fell on our client and caused serious injuries.
The defense didn’t want to pay what she deserved. They wanted a discount.

So we did what we do when a “just settlement” isn’t on the table: we tried the case.
And a Broward County jury held them accountable.

If your case matters, your lawyer has to be willing to prove it.
Not just negotiate it.

They tried to write off her traumatic brain injury with a $45,000 offer on an I-95 crash.

We filed suit and spent the next year litigating: digging through records, working with neurologists, taking depositions, and building the medical story piece by piece.

When the evidence boxed them in, their “minor injury” narrative disappeared. They paid the $1 million policy limits.

Insurance companies can minimize, delay, and deny.
They don’t get the last word.
