$250,000 Settlement
Back Injury
A young woman in her 30s was injured when she was rear-ended by a Defendant driver. Liability was clear in this case. Plaintiff had conservative treatment for a short period of time and was unable to continue care because of the lack of funds and insurance coverage.
Several years after the crash, Plaintiff was able to obtain surgery for her back injury and was able to relate this treatment to the crash. Defendant established medical proof that the crash was not the cause of Plaintiff’s need for surgery. This case settled for $250,000.00, which was the policy limit available in this case.
Extensive depositions of both medical experts and lay witnesses were taken prior to this result being obtained. The car accident settlement of $250,000.00 for policy limits represented past medical expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life, although all of these issues were disputed by Defendant. Plaintiff did not have a loss of income as she was a homemaker.
Bad Faith
$265,000
Bad Faith Insurance Claim
A husband, wife, and their minor child suffered injuries at the hands of an insurance company that acted in bad faith. The injured family pursued a bad faith claim against the insurance company that handled their claim improperly from the beginning.
The victims recovered $265,000.00 under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act. If the victims had resolved their dispute with the insurance companies on their own, they probably would not have received more than $20,000.00. With the help of our Nashville personal injury lawyer, they recovered $265,000.00 by exposing the insurance company’s bad faith practices.

Dog Bite
This 25-year-old young woman was a guest at the home of Defendants who owned a Lab/Corgi mix dog.

This vicious and dangerous dog was allowed to sit on a chair next to Plaintiff unmuzzled and suddenly the dog attacked Plaintiff by biting her on her lip and/or face, then as she stood up the aggressive dog was hanging off her face and another guest at Defendant’s home punched the dog to get this animal to detach from Plaintiff’s face. Plaintiff incurred medical bills of $112,582.84; suffered cosmetic damage, lost feeling in her face, and loss of function to speak as she did before the dog bite incident.

$1.0 Million Settlement
Drunk Driving Accident
A middle-aged female was rear-ended by a drunk driver in an automobile crash on a rural road in Rutherford County, Tennessee, and suffered aggravation of preexisting spinal conditions. Following multiple surgeries and incurring medical expenses of approximately $287,000.00, this case was settled for One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), which were the insurance policy limits in this matter.
Defendant attempted to defend this case alleging that Plaintiff’s preexisting conditions were the cause of her injuries and not this motor vehicle crash. Plaintiff had significant preexisting problems that had previously been diagnosed but were aggravated as a result of this crash. After litigation, this drunk driving accident was resolved for $1,000,000.00, which included past medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and lost wages.
