A confidential settlement was obtained for three Chicago, IL women who were on the American Airlines Flight 1400 when one of the engines caught fire and forced an emergency landing in St. Louis, MO. The engine fire was due to faulty maintenance of the ground crew. After the emergency had occurred the flight crew failed to follow proper protocols making the matter worse. One of the clients career involved extensive travel and she was no longer able to fly due to the emotional trauma of the incident. She subsequently could not work due to suffering post traumatic stress disorder.

A confidential settlement was obtained in 2009 for a father and his two minor children were on Southwest Flight 2294 from Nashville, Tennessee to Boston, Massachusetts. According to the NTSB Preliminary Report the Boing 737 experienced a rapid decompression caused by an in-flight hole in the aircraft over the passenger’s heads. This hole in the fuselage forced an emergency landing in Charleston, West Virginia. Children were so frightened by the ordeal they are afraid to fly since the horrifying event.

Construction Accidents
Our client was driving through a construction zone in Mt. Juliet tn when he impacted with a curb being installed and wrecked his vehicle and suffered soft tissue injuries to his spine and neck which required extensive time off of work and physical therapy to treat and heal. We conducted a thorough investigation of the crash site and discovered that the accident was caused when a construction company failed to utilize the proper saftey barriers and warning signs while installing a curb. After seeing our evidence, the construction company’s insurance company offered a fair settlement to our client which he accepted rather than suffer the ordeal of a lengthy trial.

Defective Products
Rather than go to trial, and risk the negative publicity, the SUV manufacturer agreed to settle out of court with our client.

However, the settlement was substantial enough to provide our client and his parents with the comfort, dignity and financial stability to endure the injuries he received.
Awarded: Confidential Settlement
It was our position that our client would have suffered minimal or no injuries when his lawn mower flipped and rolled over on him had the lawn tractor been equipped with a roll bar or other roll over protection system. We further argued that had a slope indicator been installed the lawn mower the client would have been warned that the slope he was on was steep enough to cause the lawn tractor to become unstable.

Wrongful Death
We were able to reach a very good confidential settlement prior to trial. Our client was, of course, devastated about losing her husband and the fact that it was so unnecessary that she be left alone without him. She did not think she could endure a trial and relieve the terrible situation again. We saved her that pain and anguish by fighting the insurance company for a fair settlement for her loss. This remains a case dear to our hearts as we opened our hearts to this dear widow and knew how much she suffered due to the negligent care her husband received. While no amount of money could ever bring her loved one back to her, she was satisfied with the settlement as it allowed for her to remain in the home she had shared with him and raised there children in, as well as provide financial security for her for the remainder of her life.
Awarded: Confidential Settlement
We won an $850,000.00 jury verdict in the Northeastern Division of the Middle District of Tennessee for the Wrongful death of an 18 year old Kentucky boy who drowned in Dale Hollow Lake in Clay County, Tennessee.
Although the deceased was 18 years old and had reached the age of majority for some purposes, the jury agreed with Keith William’s argument that we reach the age of majority under the law for drinking alcohol at the age of 21 – not 18.
The jury found for the surviving parents who claimed that a Tennessee boat dock owner failed to properly supervise a teen drinking party that resulted in the drowning of their son.
