Client Success Stories

$2.3 Million Settlement

Man suffers traumatic brain injury after being hit by truck.

Catherine's client was walking across the street to work when a motorist driving a truck struck him in the crosswalk.

The Defendant's plates were seized and the vehicle was classified as unfit.

As a result of his injuries, medical doctors opined the client would not work again, and require extensive, life-long ​medical care.
