Partner Bill Davoren recently secured a $320,000.00 settlement of a hotly contested personal injury case arising out of an incident in which the firm's client, a pedestrian, was struck by an eight pound temporary traffic control sign. The firm alleged that the general contractor's sign was left unsecured, unattended and unprotected from wind, automobiles or vandalism. Defendant contested ownership of the sign and the extent of plaintiff's injuries.
The firm argued that the accident occurred because the defendant violated state and federal law, construction standards and common sense in leaving their road construction sign out in a heavy wind storm. The case settled after the parties participated in court annexed mediation. As a result of this case, the injured pedestrian recovered her past medical bills, received payment for future medical bill and pain medication, and was compensated for the pain and suffering, loss of life's enjoyment and permanent impairment of her daily activities.
