Trucking Accident Attorney Results:

Trucking and commercial accidents are some of the most significant accidents on the road, due to the size of the vehicle. Brooks Law Group makes sure that commercial vehicle accident victims get the justice they deserve.

$1,050,000 settlement of a claim from a trucking company that originally denied that they employed the truck driver involved in the accident and further took the position that there was not any negligence on the truck driver’s behalf because our client was a passenger of a vehicle that negligently pulled into traffic cutting off a tractor trailer. The settlement was paid by the alleged employer of the tractor trailer driver after we discovered evidence that the injured truck driver they claimed was not one of their employees had filed an action against them for failing to pay workers compensation to him for his injuries in this action. Also, we discovered evidence tending to indicate that the truck driver was driving at an excessive speed. We also uncovered evidence that the truck driver failed to take evasive actions to avoid the vehicle that had pulled in front of him.

$2,250,000 recovered for the wrongful death of a child. The child was a passenger in a pickup truck when a commercial vehicle traveling in the opposite direction made a turn in front of our clients vehicle.

Car Accident Attorney Results:

Most of us get in out cars every day expecting a smooth safe trip. Unfortunately for some, those regular trips can turn into a life changing, and sometimes even life ending car accident. Brooks Law Group makes sure that those hurt in a car accident get the compensation they deserve to get their life back on track.

Personal Injury – over $600,000 recovered for fractured femur resulting from a car accident.

No Workers Comp Coverage or Safe Vehicle On the job – $2,164,541.98 – Our client was injured in one-vehicle accident while he was on the job driving the vehicle that was provided to him by his employer. He alleged that this vehicle was not maintained or serviced properly and was unsafe to drive. At the trial, the Verdict was $1,082,270.99 against the owner acting as managing agent of the company because he failed to provide workers compensation coverage to this employee and he sent him out in a vehicle that was unsafe for the road. An additional Verdict was $1,082,270.99 against the company for failing to provide workers compensation coverage and provided him with a vehicle that was unsafe for the road.

Case Involving Doctor DUI – trial verdict of $1,022,197.60 – Our client, while driving in the slower lane during a rain storm, was side-swiped and pushed off the road by a doctor that fell asleep while driving under the influence of sleep medication. State Attorney couldn’t prove the DUI aspect of the case, but we did. State Farm’s highest offer was $40,000.

Soft-tissue Injury Case – $93,790.45 – Our client, a school bus driver, was rear-ended by a pick-up truck while slowing down for traffic. This resulted in soft tissue injuries to her shoulder and back. State Farms top offer leading up to trial was $5,500. State farm then offered to settle the day before the trial for $12,500. The Verdict at trial was $48,000.00. Court awarded fees plus costs to our client were $45,790.45. The total for the client (before PIP setoff) was $93,790.45. (To explain the fees and costs awarded to our client by the court: we can use a legal mechanism called a PFS (Proposal for Settlement). When we file a PFS to settle a case…say for $10,000 and the insurance company does not pay us that money within 60 days and then, our verdict at trial exceeds the PFS amount by 25%, i.e. in this example, a verdict greater than $12,500; then we get to petition the court for attorney fees from the date of the PFS. These fees do not go in our pocket. The fees go toward the gross recovery for the client’s case. In this example, if we got a verdict of $12,501, we could petition the court for fees for all of our time after the PFS. Let’s say that amount totaled $20,000 in fees. So the gross recovery for the client would be $12,501 + $20,000 = $32,501. We would then take our fee percentage out of the $32,501.)

Personal Injury $200,000 recovered for the fractured skull of an elderly man involved in a t-bone collision.

Other Case Results:

  • Insurer Had No Proof of UM Rejection – $10,000 – Our client’s insurer failed to follow the law on UM waivers so we collected $10,000.00 in UM. The insurer claimed the client had no UM coverage… but couldn’t provide a signed UM rejection form.
  • Wrongful Death – over $500,000 recovered for the wrongful death of an adult male.
  • Medical Malpractice – over $2,000,000 recovered in a medical malpractice lawsuit involving the negligence of a neurologist resulting in vision problems.
  • Medical Malpractice – $1,000,000 recovery to an elderly female who had problems after colon surgery.

We also collected over $100,000 in attorneys fees b/c the insurance company didn’t settle when they could and should have.
