She witnessed the death of her niece and also shattered her foot. We were able to show that the California Department of Transportation was liable for an improper slope in the roadway which was noted in their own documents. $582,500.

Big Rig Accident: Two farm produce haulers were barreling northbound on Highway 99 near Merced when one vehicle made a sudden lane change in front of my client.

A substantial settlement resulted. $375,000.

Brain Damage: Plaintiff was driving a farm vehicle service truck north of Visalia when four farm laborers in their employer’s truck ran a stop sign at full speed. Mr. Will’s mental capacity was severely affected and a large monthly settlement was negotiated. Lifetime Annuity.

Driver Blows Stop Sign: Plaintiff injured her neck when another driver blew a stop sign and collided with her. Plaintiff treated with a chiropractor for one month after the accident, but stopped treating and tried to go about her life. After over seven months, the pain was too great for her to continue her daily activities, and she resumed treatment. She then discovered that she had a bulging disc and nerve root impingement in her neck. We were able to settle her case for the other driver’s policy limit of $250,000.

Motorcycle Accident: Our client was riding his motorcycle westbound on Mineral King in Visalia just east of Highway 198 when an elderly gentleman exiting the freeway cut across 3 lanes of traffic to make a right turn directly into his path.
