Description: Client was injured during a rear-end accident which resulted in dizziness, irritability, confusion, and difficulty focusing on her assignments at work. She underwent an MRI with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) which illustrated the root of the problem as a diffuse axonal injury.

Date: Sep 04, 2015
Outcome: $525,000.00 combined settlement
Description: Client had significant pre-existing issues. The insurance carriers (both Bodily Injury and Underinsured Motorist) defended this claim under a “causation” theory based on her pre-existing neck and back injuries, along with the fact that the property damage in the accident was moderate. Prior to filing a lawsuit, the insurance companies best offer was $45,000.

Date: Nov 06, 2013

Practice Area: Car Accident
Date: Oct 22, 2013
Outcome: $380,000.00
Description: Our client was rear-ended while stopping at a train track. They needed an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at C4 and C5. The radiologist arguing for the insurance company claimed that the herniation was pre-existing, which it was not. After eight months of litigation, we obtained a settlement of $380,000.
Practice Area: Personal Injury
Outcome: $325,000.00
Description: Our client underwent a two-level lumbar fusion surgery performed by a local orthopedic spine surgeon. GEICO Insurance contested the claim with their typical defense that the relatively minor impact (less than $2000 in damage) couldn’t have caused such significant discogenic lumbar pathology. However, that was the case.
Practice Area: Motorcycle Accident
Date: Apr 23, 2014
Outcome: $320,000.00
Description: Our client had to undergo a one-level cervical spine fusion surgery after they were injured in a motorcycle accident. After eight months of litigation, we successfully resolved the case. The insurance company’s highest offer throughout the entire process never exceeded $215,000.

Practice Area: Motorcycle Accident
Date: Jul 16, 2013
Outcome: $300,000.00
Description: Our client had two prior lumbar disc herniations at L4-5 and L5-S1. The motorcycle accident that prompted this case resulted in increased lower back pain as well as numbness in his right leg. He underwent laminotomy and foraminotomy surgery. The insurance company’s highest offer prior to litigation was $130,000. Another law firm brought in Dolman Law Group as co-counsel to litigate this case which was successfully resolved at mediation.
Practice Area: Personal Injury
Outcome: $300,000.00

Practice Area: Car Accident
Date: Mar 06, 2015

Practice Area: Car Accident
Date: Nov 07, 2013
Outcome: $250,000.00
Description: Our 42 year old client was diagnosed with a Chiari malformation found on a cervical MRI. Chiari malformations have long been believed to be congenital. In fact, we were able to demonstrate through the utilization of two expert witnesses that an asymptomatic Chiari malformation can become symptomatic as a result of trauma. The insurance company’s highest offer prior to us filing suit was $7,200. They came to this low sum by claiming that this was a minor soft tissue injury that pre-existed the car accident.
Practice Area: Car Accident
Date: Feb 20, 2015
Outcome: $220,000.00
Description: The insurance company argued comparative negligence after our client was involved in a T-bone accident. This defense was mitigated primarily with the use of an accident reconstruction specialist. The insurance company’s initial offer was $6,500. They reached this sum by alleging our client was 50% responsible for the accident. Our client sustained soft tissue injuries in his lumbar spine and a central disc protrusion between vertebra L4 and L5. He underwent a relatively minor outpatient laminotomy/foraminotomy.
Practice Area: Car Accident
Date: Feb 13, 2015
Outcome: $180,000.00
Description: Initial offer in this case was for $6500. Travelers Insurance refused to acknowledge that our client’s injuries were caused by their client’s negligence. In fact, they retained multiple expert witnesses in an attempt to contend that his injuries were caused solely by preexisting osteophytic complex/degenerative disc disease that, they claimed, long pre-dated the collision. This was not the case since our client was asymptomatic prior to the car wreck.
Practice Area: Personal Injury
Outcome: $165,000.00
Description: Our 34 year old client was involved in a motor vehicle accident with moderate impact (i.e. less than $3000 in damage to the vehicles). The orthopedic spine surgeon recommended an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery to repair his right-sided radiculopathy and a herniated disc at C4 and C5. There was also encroachment on the thecal sac.
Practice Area: Slip-and-Fall Accident
Date: Mar 13, 2014
Outcome: $82,000.00
Description: Our client sustained a SLAP tear in her right shoulder during a slip and fall accident. She decided not to undergo shoulder surgery, as was her right, despite the recommendations of an orthopedic surgeon. The defendant initially denied liability, but when that didn’t work they switched tactics, claiming aggressively that if our client’s injury was as bad as we alleged, they would have had the surgery. The insurance company’s initial offer was $35,000.
