Our clients sustained orthopedic injuries when an airboat operator flipped the boat while conducting a tour. Six passengers were thrown from the boat and injured in the incident.
The company that ran the airboat tour had insufficient insurance coverage to fully compensate all six people. The insurance company filed an interpleader action under Florida’s Tort Reform Act, attempting to limit how much could be paid to the injured parties.
Thanks to strategic settlement tactics, our firm was able to secure over 96% of the available insurance money for our two clients.
Settlement on behalf of our client who did not receive timely medication in the Emergency Department to treat an evolving stroke, which left him with permanent injuries and neurologic deficits. The doctors and nurses involved failed to correctly diagnose his true condition and failed to administer clot-busting medication in a timely manner.
The claim was amicably resolved with all medical providers and their insurance companies prior to a lawsuit being filed.
Our 67-year-old client faced serious complications following hernia repair surgery. During recovery, he needed breathing and oxygen support. However, the physician chose an inappropriate method of respiratory support, opting for a mask with forced airway pressure instead of intubation. This misstep resulted in a tear in the client's esophagus, which the surgery had already weakened. Consequently, our client suffered catastrophic health issues, underwent additional surgery, and fortunately survived.
