Some of Our Cases*

$717,500.00 Phengthirath v. Alarid (Los Angeles County Superior Court Case # PC014638): Plaintiff's car rear-ended a truck which blocked a lane of Interstate 5 at an angle.  The truck's underride hit Plaintiff's son who was the front-seat passenger, killing him instantly.  Evidence showed that an SUV was able to avoid rear-ending the truck.  Plaintiff's brother who was in a car directly behind Plaintiff told the police officer at the scene that Plaintiff was traveling at 60 mph in a heavy rain at the time of the accident.  Plaintiff was cited for driving too fast under the prevailing conditions in violation of Cal. Veh. Code §22350 (Click here to see the relevant part of the police report).  As Plaintiff called our law firm a few days after the accident to ask us about the potential impact of the code violation and retained us, we were able to immediately pay an accident reconstructionist to go to the scene.  As the truck owner refused to allow us to inspect the truck, we immediately filed the law suit, obtained the court's permission to inspect the truck and with our experts, were able to determine that the truck previously jackknifed.  We also retained a truck expert and a human factor expert.  To avoid re-living the nightmare, our client/Plaintiff instructed us to settle the case close to the defendant's insurance policy limit a few days before the jury trial was scheduled to start (Click here to see a copy of part of a check which the insurance company of the other party paid us).

$110,000.00 (Los Angeles County Superior Court - Southeast Judicial District - Norwalk Courthouse Case # VC044932): Our client/Plaintiff was a passenger in a car which was rear-ended by a car owned by Enterprise Leasing Co.  As a result of the accident, Plaintiff suffered soft-tissue injuries.  She first treated with a chiropractor.  When her condition did not improve, she sought treatments at Kaiser Permanente.  Plaintiff's chiropractic bills totaled $4,230.00.  Her Kaiser bills totaled $3,896.00. As the treating doctor at Kaiser restricted Plaintiff from lifting or pushing weights greater than 10 pounds, and from standing or walking continuously for more than 10 minutes, Plaintiff's employer refused to allow Plaintiff to work as a nurse with such restrictions. Defendants argued that Plaintiff could have worked somewhere else, and tried to imply that the doctor ordered the restrictions for Plaintiff because Plaintiff worked for Kaiser even though Plaintiff treated at a different Kaiser location than where Plaintiff worked and that Plaintiff did not know the doctor.  The case did not settle at the mediation.  Defendants later offered $20,00.00 to settle Plaintiff's case.  Plaintiff rejected the offer.  We then proceeded to spend close to $10,000.00 to retain experts in preparation for the jury trial.  On the second day of the scheduled trial dates, the case settled for $110,000.00.  The judge who helped settle the case, told Plaintiff and Plaintiff's counsel that the case was the largest settlement or verdict for soft-tissue injury cases over which he presided.

$285,000.00 Boulom v. Rogers, et al (District Court of Tarrant County Case # 348-191845-02): Although Defendant's truck rear-ended Plaintiff's car, Defendant's insurer claimed that the accident was not his insured-driver's fault and alleged that Plaintiff made up the injuries as Plaintiff stayed at the hospital only 3 days and did not go back for a surgery until almost six months after the accident.  After we filed a law suit, Defendant's insurer accepted our client's $285,000.00 settlement demand.

$3,117,227.80 (San Diego County Superior Court - Vista Judicial District Case # N67288): A car driven by a drunk driver/Defendant hit the car driven by Plaintiff's wife, killing her at the scene.  We obtained a $3,117,227.80 judgment on behalf of Plaintiff.

$385,000.00 (Bridgeport Superior Court - Fairfield Judicial District Case # CV-93-0302413S): Due to severe weather conditions, the traffic in front of Plaintiff's car stopped.  Plaintiff's son felt an impact and got out of Plaintiff's car to inspect the front of Plaintiff's car in the middle of the road. While Plaintiff's son was standing between the two cars, Defendant's car rear-ended Plaintiff's car, causing it to hit Plaintiff's son.

$750,000.00 (United States District Court-Eastern District of California Case # 2:06-CV-01426-LKK-DAD; Glenn County Superior Court Case # 05NCR02744; Butte County Superior Court Case # SCR51353)(We are one of the law firms who represented the plaintiff in the civil right case / the defendant in the criminal cases)(Details will be posted soon)

$42,000,000.00 (Los Angeles County Superior Court Case # BC 156 849): Plaintiff/A general contractor who bought insurance under his fictitious business name, was sued by a homeowner.  His insurance company started defending him but later stopped to do so.  A judgment was entered against him.  Plaintiff filed for bankruptcy protection.  The homeowner objected to the discharge. The bankruptcy court did not discharge the judgment.  After being turned down by several lawyers, Plaintiff consulted our law firm.  Although we told Plaintiff that we had been in practice at that time (1995) only for a few years, Plaintiff told us that Plaintiff could not find anyone and retained us.  At first, the insurance company's lawyers laughed at us and refused to respond to several of our discoveries.  We filed motions to compel responses.  The court ordered that the insurance company produce several boxes of documents and  and that its lawyer pay us several sanctions totaling several thousand dollars.  The insurance company then filed a motion for summary judgment.  We filed the opposition on behalf of our client.  The court ruled in our client's favor.  After we successfully opposed the motion for summary judgment, the main remaining issue in the case in a lay person's words (at this point) was "who would the jury believe".  A few weeks later, the insurance company made a six-figure settlement offer.  We rejected the offer.  Plaintiff then substituted in another law firm (As a defense trial attorney, one of our attorneys later successfully convinced a jury NOT to award any bad faith/punitive damage against his client in another similar bad faith case brought by this law firm) which spent over a hundred thousand dollar in expert witness fees and costs to try the case and was awarded $42 million judgment.  The case later settled for a smaller amount.  It has been more than ten years since our law firm first worked on the case and we now have sufficient resources and expertise to try these types of cases.
