Summary judgment granted in favor of grocery store client in “unsafe equipment” case
The plaintiff, a bakery clerk, filed an injury claim pertaining to his use of a dishwasher. In spite of the questionable nature of his claims, his attorney worked the case up very aggressively. Our client did not want to pay any money to resolve the dispute. Fortunately, we were able to obtain a final summary judgment in our client’s favor after deposing the claimant and procuring extremely favorable deposition testimony for our client. Trek Doyle was the firm attorney who defended this case.
Catastrophic injury claim settles for “pennies on the dollar” for healthcare industry client
Last year, we resolved a catastrophic injury claim with several million dollars in legitimate damages for a very favorable amount. In addition to vigorously litigating numerous defenses, we investigated, pursued and were ultimately able to obtain a write off of $350,000+ in purported medical liens, which facilitated settlement on the eve of trial. The claim involved a serious, life-altering injury that occurred when our client’s employee was struck while standing outside his vehicle at a high rate of speed by oncoming traffic. Trek Doyle and Matt Duchamp defended this case.
D&S wins summary judgment for restaurant client on lifting injury claim
A restaurant worker argued her employer was negligent for failing to provide her with adequate lifting assistance. However, during her deposition she testified assistance was not needed when she had safely performed the same task in the past. Furthermore, even assuming assistance was needed, she did not ask for assistance from her co-workers because she was in a hurry. The employer was able to avoid all liability and won the case on a motion for summary judgment. Karl Seelbach defended the case.
