Case Results

The following are some of Attorney Allison's case results. (Also, see testimonials from some of our former clients.)

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Our clients, a mother and daughter, suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning causing long term memory problems when a defective ventilation system connected to a boiler leaked carbon monoxide into their new home. A lawsuit was filed, the parties engaged in comprehensive discovery including over 40 depositions, and shortly before trial, the case was settled for $1,450,000.00.

Elderly Lady Injured by Pushcart: Our client, an elderly lady, was shopping in a supermarket when she was struck from behind by a pushcart. She sustained a severe laceration to her leg which required a skin graft. Initially, both defendants denied liability. A lawsuit was filed, discovery included several depositions, and upon the completion of discovery, the case settled for $102,000.00.

Employee of Grocery Store Injures Customer: Our client, a 62 year old man, was shopping in a grocery store when an employee of the store slipped on a pool of water and fell onto the customer, injuring his shoulder. He underwent shoulder surgery. A lawsuit was filed and after discovery was completed, the case was settled during mediation for $225,000.00.

Slip and Fall on Snow and Ice: Our client, a middle aged man, was walking home from a restaurant/bar where he watched the Superbowl when he slipped and fell on a walkway covered with snow and ice. He sustained a fracture of his left ankle. A lawsuit was filed and after discovery was completed, the case was settled during mediation for $65,000.00.

Motorcycle Accident: Our client was riding his motorcycle when a tow truck suddenly cut him off causing him to drop his motorcycle and slam against the pavement. He suffered from a severe shoulder injury, constant pain, limited use of his right arm, and he was unable to work. He had to undergo major reconstructive shoulder surgery during which the surgeon fused his shoulder blade to his ribs. Our client made a satisfactory recovery and was able to return to work. A lawsuit was filed and a week before the pre-trial conference, the case settled for $475,000.00.

Head-On Collision: Our client was driving her car when another vehicle drove into her lane, causing a head-on collision. As a result, she sustained a badly fractured ankle and underwent ankle surgery and physical therapy. A lawsuit was filed and the case settled for $112,000.00.

Assault by Co-Worker: A male co-worker of our client, a female, without warning or provocation, twisted her arm behind her back with such force that he tore a tendon in her left shoulder. Our client underwent successful shoulder surgery and made an excellent recovery. A lawsuit was filed, discovery was completed, and the case settled at mediation one month prior to Trial in the amount of $105,000.00.
