Our clients owned a home in the Punta Gorda area.  In 2004, hurricane Charlie ravaged the area causing damage to many homes including our clients' home.  Our clients presented a claim for damages to their homeowner's insurance carrier and the claim was denied.  The insurance company claimed that our clients intentionally exposed the property to damage by not properly securing the property prior to the arrival of the hurricane.  Despite numerous attempts to convince the insurance company otherwise, our cleints retained us to represent them.  A law suit was immediately filed for damages, including bad faith handling of the claim.  The balance of the policy limits at the time of trial was under $300,000.00.  The Defendant agreed to avoid trial and settled the claim for the remaining policy limits of $300,000.00 and paid an additional $200,000.00 over and above the limits for a total settlement of $500,000.00.

Premise Liability Settlement $310,000.00:
Our client was a customer at a large retail store.  As she was looking at items to purchase in an aisle, a large object fell off the top shelf above her inpacting her on the top of the head knocking her unconscious.  After extensive medical treatment and tests, it was determined by her doctors that our client had suffered a mild tramatic bain injury.  We determined through our investigation that another customer on the other side of the aisle was pushing on an item on the top shelf which caused it to push the object which fell onto our client.  The retail store refused to resolve the claim without litigation arguing that they were not responsible for the actions of the other customer.  After filing suit we established that the store knew that items could be pushed off top shelves by customers and that they had installed a safety device (that would have prevented the incident) at some stores but had not in the Sebring store.  Prior to trial the Defendant settled the claim for $310,000.00 which was the largest amount ever paid by that company for a similar claim.

Our client was driving near a retail store which had placed a large temporary advertisement sign next to a side road.  The Defendant was exiting the retail store parking lot in her car and could not see in the direction our client was traveling.  Rather than using due care for oncoming traffic that she could not see, the Defendant pulled out in front of our client's vehicle causing a severe collision.  Despite attempts to blame our client, the Defendant's insurance company tendered their liability limits prior to litigation.  The retail store contributed to the settlement based on the theory that they were negligent in placing the sign so as to block travelers view of oncoming traffic.

Premises Liability Settlement $175,000.00:
Our client was self-employed as a lawncare professional and was renting a storage unit at a local storage facility to store his lawncare equipment.  For months, the electric security gate to the facility was malfunctioning on a regular basis which prevented tenants from entering the facility's grounds thereby preventing them from accessing their rental storage units.  It became customary for the tenants to call the owner and request that he come down and manually open the gate.  On occasions when the owner could not come to the property, he would instruct the tenants to climb over the secutiy fence and manually open the gate.  Early one morning our client was at the facility to get his equipment in order to mow his customers yards.  The gate would not open and our client called the owner.  The owner instructed our client to climb over the fence and open the gate maually.  While trying to climb over the fence, our client's pant leg caught the top of the fence causing him to fall sustaining a severe fracture to his elbow requiring extensive medical treatment.  When the owner of the facility would not resolve the claim arguing that our client was responsible for his fall, a law suit was filed.  Prior to trial, the Defendants settled the claim for $175,000.00.

Auto Negligence Settlement $65,000.00:
Our Client was disabled and confined to a wheel chair.  He used a local transportation company for trips to and from his medical doctors.  One morning the van arrived to transport him to his doctor's appointment and a new driver exited the vehicle.  Our client was loaded into the van, but his wheel chair was not secured in a manner consistent with past drivers.  Our client voiced concerns to the driver, but was assured that he was safely secured in the van.  On the way to the doctor, the driver of the van was forced to make a quick stop which caused our client's wheel chair to be propelled forward inside the van impacting the front interior of the van.  Our client sustained personal injuries.  The Defendants did not make any attempts to resolve the claim arguing that our client's damages were minimal since he was already disabled and confined to a wheel chair.  We filed a law suit against the transportation company and driver and prior to trial the Defendants settled the case for $65,000.00.

Premise Liability Settlement $65,000.00:
Our client was returning books to a local library.  She exited her car and proceeded around the rear of the car to the passenger door to retrieve the books.  As she walked around the front of her car on the side walk carrying the books, she suddenly tripped and fell to the ground face first.  Our client sustained injuries which required treatment at the emergency room and with her doctors.  Upon investigation we determined that our client had tripped over a fire hose which was hooked to a hydrant near the library supplying water to a train track cleaning crew near by.  The hose had been pulled through the library parking lot and over the sidewalk without any warnings.  The Defendant train company and maintenance company denied liablity and after extensive litigation and discovery, the Defendants were convinced that they had created the dangerous condition and failed to warn our client about its existence.  The Defendants settled the case prior to trial for $65,000.00.

Auto Negligence Settlement $50,000.00:
Our client was visiting Las Vegas with his wife.  While walking from one casino to another on the opposite side of the street, our client entered the pedestrian cross walk as directed by the traffic control lights.  As he cleared one lane of traffic and entered the next, an unknown vehicle proceeded to ignore the red light and almost hit our client as it proceeded through the pedestrian walk way.  To avoid being run over, our client jumped back stumbling to the ground and injuring himself.  There was no impact between our client and the unkown car.  When they returned home our client contact our office.  After presenting a claim of personal injuries, including an on-set of Fibromyalgia, against our client's uninsured motorist carrier, they tendered our client's  policy limits of $50,000.00.
