$100,000

$100,000 for a client in March 2020. After falling several feet from a ladder and injuring his hip, our client hired his first law firm who perhaps didn’t sue all the correct companies. After a few years, he was forced to hire a second law firm. During the several years that the second law firm represented our client, his case was dismissed based on an archaic principle of law, the Dead Man’s Act. That law firm told our client to take a hike and stopped fighting for him. Our law office was moved by his story and decided to fight for him. We filed the appeal, wrote an extensive brief, and argued it in the Appellate Court. The Appellate Court agreed with our position and reinstated the case.
