Recent Settlements & Verdicts Involving Head Injury

$1,578,500 — Head injury settlement for pedestrian accident victim

We represented a 12-year-old girl against the city of Milpitas and a general contractor for failing to warn about a non-functioning signal at a mid-block pedestrian school crossing. During litigation, a city employee who worked on the project admitted that she knew before the accident that the non-functioning crossing would be a problem but took no steps to correct the problem or issue a warning. Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury when a van struck her while she was using the crossing.

We represented a 42-year-old who was struck in the back of the head and neck by a piece of equipment that protruded from the bed of a passing pick-up truck. We proved that the client suffered a neck and traumatic brain injury, causing an extended disability.

$750,000 — Head injury verdict from bar shooting

We represented a 38-year-old who became involved in a verbal argument with the bartender of an Oakland bar when the bartender pulled a loaded pistol and struck our client on the head with it. The gun fired, and a bullet struck our client’s head. The defendant bartender alleged self-defense, and the defendant bar claimed that the bartender was acting outside the scope of his employment. Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury but by the time of trial was back to work. We rejected the defendant bar’s offer of $156,000 before trial. The jury awarded a verdict of $750,000 against both bar and bartender.

$500,000 — Head injury settlement from industrial accident

$462,500 — Head injury settlement from motorcycle accident

We represented a 25-year-old who was struck by a left-turning automobile while riding his motorcycle in San Francisco. The defendant automobile driver claimed that the motorcycle was speeding. Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury and facial fractures from the impact, which also forced his helmet off his head.

$400,000 — Psychological injury settlement from motorcycle accident

We represented a 34-year-old who was the passenger on a motorcycle struck by a car that ran a red light. All of her physical injuries were soft-tissue injuries. We proved that the accident caused our client severe psychological injury requiring psychiatric hospitalization.
