Over $30 Million Recovered for Clients
$12 Million – Insurance Bad Faith
Kevin represented a small business owner whose principal office was catastrophically damaged as a result of home heating oil being mistakenly dumped into its basement. Kevin’s client made a claim under a Business Owners Policy that it had purchased, and the insurance carrier fraudulently denied the claim. A lawsuit was brought against the insurance carrier and after multiple years of litigation, recovery was made in the amount of $2,047,000 for the damages owed under the insurance contract and $10,000,000.00 for the insurance carriers’ bad faith, for a total recovery of Twelve Million Forty-Seven Thousand Dollars ($12,047,000.00).
$3.25 Million – Construction Accident
Kevin represented a construction worker who sustained serious injuries when he fell nearly sixty feet off a scaffold. His injuries included multiple broken bones and a mild/moderate head injury. The worker recovered from most of the physical injuries but he continued to be affected by the head injury, preventing him from working on a full-time basis. Shortly after the trial began, the defense agreed to settle the case for Three Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,250,000.00).
$3 Million – Motorcycle Accident
Kevin represented the estate of a twenty-nine-year-old motorcyclist who was struck by a car at the top of a bridge. The motorcycle driver was catapulted off the bike and plunged over the bridge nearly 50 feet to his death. After three years of litigation, the case was settled for Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00).
$2.75 Million – Medical Negligence
Kevin represented an eighty-two-year-old woman who suffered a neurologic injury as a result of medical negligence. After two years of litigation, the defendant agreed to a settlement in the amount of Two Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,750,000.00).
$2.35 Million – Auto Accident
Kevin represented a 60-year-old man who suffered a serious back injury in an automobile accident. The insurance carrier for the party that caused the accident paid their policy limits in the amount of $250,000 and a claim was then brought against the injured parties’ own underinsured motorist policy. The insurance carrier wrongfully denied the claim, so Kevin filed suit in Federal Court, alleging that the insurance carrier engaged in bad faith by denying the claim. After several years of litigation, an additional $2,100,000 was recovered against the insurance carrier for their bad faith conduct, for a total recovery of Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,350,000.00).
$2.25 Million – Fall Injury
Kevin represented a 77-year-old man who sustained a serious leg fracture after falling out of a wheelchair. Shortly after the commencement of the trial, Kevin was able to secure a settlement for his client in the amount of Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000.00).
