Recent St. Louis Automobile Accident and Defective Product Cases

Posted on by David G. Hughes

I recently recovered $75,000.00 for an individual injured in an automobile accident in the City of St. Louis.  Our client suffered a shoulder injury.  The insurance company offered $45,000.00 prior to filing suit, and during litigation, I was able to obtain $75,000.00 for resolution of the case.

I also recently resolved a case against a boat rental company.  Our client was injured when the boat seat that he was using collapsed, causing injury to his left ankle.  I was able to recover $90,000.00 for our client’s damages.

Car and Truck Accident Recent Cases

Posted on by David G. Hughes

In January, 2015, I resolved an automobile accident claim for the negligent driver’s $100,000.00 policy limits.  Our client suffered numerous sprain and strain injuries and also suffered a torn rotator cuff requiring shoulder surgery as a result of the accident.  After months of negotiation, the negligent driver’s insurance company offered the $100,000.00 policy limits, and I am now pursuing our client’s underinsured motorist coverage in an effort to obtain additional damages on her behalf.

I also recently settled another automobile accident claim this month for the negligent driver’s $50,000.00 policy limits.  Our client suffered an injury to her hip requiring surgery and missed many days from work as a result of her injuries and ultimate hip surgery.  I am now pursuing an underinsured motorist claim on behalf of our client in an effort to obtain additional damages on her behalf for medical bills, lost wages, past, present and future suffering, and potential for future medical care.

St. Louis Car Accident Case Settled for $800,000

Posted on by David G. Hughes

I recently settled a St. Louis County Circuit Court automobile accident case for $800,000.00.  After 2 ½ years of litigation and numerous depositions of fact and expert witnesses, the case was resolved on the first day of trial after various Motions were presented and ruled upon by the trial Judge.  My client’s vehicle was struck by another vehicle while stopped in traffic on Highway 270 in St Louis County. The Plaintiff suffered a broken pelvis and post-traumatic stress disorder.  As a result of the injuries related to the car accident, she lost the job she loved as a nurse and was unable to return to nursing.  While many defense attorneys and insurance companies often argue that St. Louis County Circuit Court is a “conservative venue”, our client was extremely happy with the hard work of her attorney and the ultimate outcome.
