Personal Injury Results

We represented an individual who suffered serious injuries in a motor vehicle accident and was hospitalized for several days. Upon discharge, our client was prescribed pain medication; however, the pharmacist dispensed the medication at the wrong dosage with incorrect instructions. Tragically, our client overdosed and passed away.

Through careful legal analysis, we established that under the law, the original at-fault driver was jointly responsible for the events leading to our client’s death, along with the pharmacist. We pursued wrongful death and survival claims on behalf of the Estate.

Although recoverable damages were limited due to the absence of statutory beneficiaries, we secured the policy limits of the at-fault driver’s insurance and successfully pursued underinsured motorist coverage under our client’s auto policy to maximize compensation for the Estate.

This case highlights the importance of asserting complex legal theories to ensure full accountability and justice under the law.

Our firm recently secured a strong settlement for clients who were T-boned while riding their motorcycle by a driver operating a rental vehicle. What initially appeared to be a straightforward collision quickly became far more complex. Because the at-fault driver was in a rental car, multiple insurance policies were potentially implicated.

Our team conducted a thorough investigation to identify every source of potential coverage. Ultimately, our efforts allowed us to secure all applicable coverage and maximize our clients’ financial recovery.

This case highlights the importance of experienced attorneys. Because what may seem simple on the surface, can involve complex insurance challenges, and the right legal team can make all the difference.

Despite assurances from staff that the meal was free of allergens, it contained a known ingredient to which our client was allergic, triggering a medical emergency.

Although we could not locate a proof of purchase due to a lost receipt, our team obtained key surveillance footage that linked the incident to a specific purchase at the storefront. This evidence was crucial in proving the vendor’s liability.

This case highlights the importance of businesses ensuring the safety of their customers, especially when it comes to allergens. Thanks to our team’s persistence, our client received compensation for medical expenses and pain and suffering.

At Berger and Green, we remain committed to holding negligent parties accountable and securing justice for those harmed.

Our firm recently secured a six-figure settlement for a client injured in a rear-end collision that occurred in a construction work zone. The crash involved a tractor-trailer traveling at a high rate of speed, as evidenced by long skid marks captured in photos from the scene.

As a result of the collision, our client suffered a torn rotator cuff that required surgical intervention. After presenting a strong demand supported by clear liability and medical evidence, we were able to resolve the case promptly and favorably.

Results like these are possible because of our firm’s experience, attention to detail and commitment to fighting for our clients.

Our firm recently reached a successful settlement on behalf of an Uber driver whose vehicle was struck by a commercial truck. The collision resulted in serious back injuries, requiring surgical intervention. Unfortunately, the client was unable to undergo the recommended surgery due to unrelated issues.

With the statute of limitations approaching and treatment still pending, our legal team promptly filed suit to preserve the client’s rights. We proceeded with written discovery and conducted depositions of all parties involved. Through diligent preparation and advocacy, the case was ultimately resolved at mediation with the assistance of a respected neutral mediator.

This outcome reflects our commitment to securing fair compensation for clients facing complex medical and legal challenges.

Our firm successfully represented a young child who suffered permanent scarring and disfigurement after being viciously attacked by a tenant’s dog. Despite the tenant having no insurance coverage, we pursued justice by filing suit against both the tenant and the landlord.

Through strategic litigation, we demonstrated that the landlord knew, or should have known, that the dog posed a danger. Leasing the property under those circumstances, we argued, was negligent. Although the landlord’s insurance company initially denied all responsibility, our experienced personal injury attorneys uncovered critical facts that supported our theory of liability.

In the end, we secured full and fair compensation for our young client. This result reflects our commitment to holding negligent property owners accountable and standing up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.

Berger and Green successfully represented a man involved in an automobile accident who had to overcome pre-existing conditions to win his case. The at-fault party was initially reluctant to make a settlement offer due to our client having pre-existing back issues. Our Berger and Green attorney argued that the insured was clearly at-fault and that the result of this accident aggravated our client’s back issues even more.

After negotiations, the insured ultimately made a great settlement offer to our client and we were able to obtain a substantial portion of our client’s underinsured motorist coverage to further help with the damages sustained from the accident.

Berger and Green recently settled a case for a woman who fell on black ice while exiting her apartment building during the winter. The ice had accumulated on the steps of the building due to a lack of gutters above the steps. As a result of the fall, our client sustained a Monteggia fracture (elbow fracture) which required surgery.

Our client’s landlord and their insurer initially refused to accept any liability, so it was determined a lawsuit needed to be filed. After a round of depositions, private arbitration was agreed to with a hi/low stipulation. Knowing this situation, Berger and Green obtained an expert report from an architect and the case was settled at the hi-end of the agreed settlement range. Our client was able to avoid going to court and secured an amount of compensation that will help her move on from this unfortunate accident.

Berger and Green represented an individual who tripped at a home improvement store. Our client tripped because the store stacked concrete blocks on a pallet outside of the exit to the store. When leaving, he caught his foot on the edge of the protruding pallet, tripped and caught his head and face on the concrete block stacked on the pallet. He suffered fractures to his face, as well as scarring, bruising, numbness and a concussion.

The insurance company for the store argued that our client “should have seen” the concrete block, and avoided them. We argued that it was the pallet that caused him to trip and injure himself. Customers expect their pathways in, out and through a store that is open for business, to be free from tripping hazards that might result in injury. After obtaining all his treatment records, medical expenses and incident evidence, Berger and Green was able to negotiate a settlement for the full value of both our client’s economic, and non-economic loss, without giving a discount to the insurance company based on any claim for contributory negligence.

Successfully represented a woman who fell and suffered a tri-malleolar ankle fracture while leaving a friend’s apartment which required immediate surgery.

The incident occurred when the at fault driver crossed the center line into our client’s lane of traffic while she was on her way to pick up her child from school.

After a thorough investigation, we targeted not only the at fault driver’s insurance but also the insurance of the vehicle’s owner and our client’s underinsured motorist’s coverage. Our dedicated efforts yielded a successful outcome as we secured a substantial recovery of $180,000.00.

Through our experienced attorneys’ commitment and ability to navigate complex accident cases, we were able to identify all sources of insurance available for the accident, ensuring our client received the compensation she deserved.

Berger and Green Attorney Files Suit Against Clients Own Insurance Company

Berger and Green represented an individual who was injured in a car accident. After obtaining a tender of the at fault party’s liability coverage, we sought to recover her underinsured motorist coverage.

Our client’s own insurance company made a small offer of $15,000.00 of the available $100,000.00 of her underinsured motorist coverage. It was an offer insufficient to compensate her for her shoulder injury. Knowing this, our attorney filed suit against our client’s own insurance company.

Berger and Green recently represented a client who was injured partaking in activities at an indoor obstacle course. The Defendant who maintained this course, did not have the client sign a waiver, gave no instructions, poorly directed the activities and furthermore, did not have any first aid available to participants who might become injured.

Our client suffered a fractured ankle, requiring surgery, and developed several other related injuries, including a hernia.

The Defendant sought to argue that our client voluntarily engaged in the activity and “assume the risk” of the activity. We argued that the lack of direction, supervision and forewarning of the risks involved, all attributed to the owner’s negligence and ultimately our client’s injuries.

Berger and Green was able to negotiate a multiple six figure settlement for our client. This will help her with her present and future needs. This case victory not only provides financial compensation to an innocent victim, but we anticipate that this establishment will enhance their safety protocols to ensure the safety of future guests.
