Our client was a young woman who was a passenger in a motor vehicle that struck a trailer from behind. She suffered a femur fracture.

Defendant's offer: $50,000.00
Verdict: $299,717.48
Attorneys: Jeff and Andy Peterson

Our client was a 68-year old man who was employed as a truck driver.  On the day of the accident, our client drove his truck from his employer's premises to the premises of the Defendant.  Once our client's truck was loaded, he was required to drive between two platforms, which were approximately 4 1/2 feet high, so that his load could be covered with a tarp.  As our client began rolling the tarp over the truck while walking on the platform, he stepped on a rotten board, causing him to fall to the ground.  Our client fractured his right femur, which required surgery.

Settlement:  $330,000.00
Attorney:  Andrew R. Peterson

Settlement for our client when a bucket from a Bobcat fell and rolled onto our client's legs. Our client suffered fractures to his left leg and a fracture to his right ankle.  Our client made a good recovery and at the time of the accident he was not working.  The defendant in this case offered $100,000.00 in an early mediation which was rejected by our client.  This case then settled for $270,000.00 just before it was going to be placed into suit by attorney Andrew Peterson.

Settlement:  $270,000.00
Attorney:  Andrew R. Peterson
