Sample Cases

Delaware County
A $2 million dollar cash settlement for a hemiplegics 55-year-old single mechanic. He purchased a used 1967 Mustang from a private person who advertised the car as "good condition." The car was actually titled to a dealership and welded together with metal bars and plates because of rust. The plaintiff lost control of the car while passing and the car broke in half allegedly before it hit a tree. Crashworthiness, negligence, breach of contract and fraud theories were presented against the dealership.

Bucks County
An $850,000 settlement for a 40-year-old woman who brought a product liability claim against a manufacturer of a foot press that lacked interlocks and guards. The plaintiff sustained a crush injury to her dominant hand.
