Practice Area: Wrongful Death

Date: 2018
Outcome: $1,000,000.00
Description: In early 2018, a young man was riding in the back of a rideshare vehicle in Georgia. The driver of his vehicle and the driver of another vehicle both raced towards an intersection trying to beat the red light. Unfortunately, in a tragic turn of events, the cars collided at a very high rate of speed; the biggest force of the impact happened exactly where the young man was seated. He was immediately taken to the ER but his injuries were so severe that he tragically passed away at the hospital.

His wife, who was in Fort Lauderdale, contacted our firm immediately. She had been previously represented by one of our staff members when they worked at another law firm and had saved the cell phone number (we always give our personal cell numbers to clients so they know they can get us in case of emergencies). She was distraught and had no idea what to do. We called her in for an immediate consultation and we began to go over what happened.

Because the crash happened in Georgia, but the family lived in Florida, the case became complicated. We decided that the best course of action was to open the estate of the deceased in Broward County, Florida; since this is where the deceased victim resided. Second, we had to proceed with the actions relating to the crash which we would need to bring to Georgia. We contacted one of our preferred trial attorneys in Georgia and immediately filed the wrongful death lawsuit. After several months of litigation, we procured a partial settlement of $1,000,000 for the family of the deceased. The case is still open as we investigate and pursue additional responsible parties for their role in the wrongful death.

We encourage our clients, friends, and their family members to save the personal cell numbers of all of the staff members of our firm when they are working on a case with us. We hope you’ll never need us, but you’ll be happy that you do if that time comes.

We are a personal injury law firm, but we provide world class service that is unparalleled in our industry.
