Winning Settlements for Personal Injury Victims

ATAC LAW successfully represented a self-employed person in a slip and fall personal injury case. The client claimed for lost wages, lost earning capacity and compensation for injuries and medical care costs. The case involved a slip and fall that occurred on a commercial property, and we sued the owner of the property under the laws of occupier’s liability. The defendant and its insurance company denied any liability and offered nothing to the client. We obtained several expert opinions, including an engineering opinion which helped prove the cause of the client’s slip and fall. After presenting our case at mediation, ATAC LAW secured a settlement of $525,000.00 for the client.

Through a very unfortunate series of events, our client’s ring finger was severed at a commercial property. We sued the owner of the property, as well as the event organizer for negligence and occupier’s liability. As often happens in such cases, the parties denied any liability. Our client was a young professional whose job duties included significant time inputting data into a computer with a keyboard, and we argued that the loss of the single finger would have a material impact on future career progress. In this case, the client was interested in having the settlement take place as soon as possible. Through intense and pressured negotiation, we managed to secure a settlement of $100,000.00 for the client in less than six months from the date of the accident.
