Our client was the first vehicle struck in a four-car chain-reaction collision. The impact pushed his car into the vehicle ahead of him, triggering a multi-vehicle pile-up. Despite clear liability, the at-fault driver's insurance company initially refused to offer policy limits. Our client suffered serious injuries to his neck and both knees, requiring three surgeries and multiple injection procedures, and missed significant time from work. Through persistent negotiation and thorough documentation of his medical treatment and long-term prognosis, we secured a $2.1 million recovery.

Our client, a career truck driver, was injured while completing a routine task of securing cargo. The accident caused severe back and neck injuries, multiple disc herniations, and years of chronic pain that ended his career. After extensive treatment and three spinal fusion surgeries, with no ability to return to work, he turned to Attorney Paul Jenkins. Paul secured years of full medical coverage, weekly income benefits, and Social Security Disability, and declined multiple inadequate settlement offers until the insurance company increased its offer.

Our client suffered a serious neck injury while renting a go-kart. After experiencing brake failure during her first race and alerting staff, she was unknowingly placed back in the same go-kart for a second race. The brakes locked again, and she crashed into a wall and broke her neck. She spent more than two weeks in the ICU, required cervical fusion surgery, and has permanent loss of movement in her neck. Unable to continue working, she was forced to close her business and retire early. After a previous attorney withdrew from the case, we took it on and secured a $600,000 settlement for her pain, lost income, and life-changing injuries.

While assisting with school bus duty, our client was hit from behind by a student driver in the school parking lot. The impact spun her 180 degrees and caused severe injuries to the entire right side of her body, with secondary injuries later developing on the left side. Although video footage clearly showed the incident, she was initially offered only $200 a week in workers' compensation and endured months of delays in care and therapy. Her restrictions prevented her from returning to her job, and both the school system and the at-fault driver refused to accept responsibility. With mounting medical bills, she was forced to sell her home and move into a rental that cost three times as much. Through persistent advocacy, we secured a $500,000 combined settlement to restore her financial stability and provide for her long-term care.

She required surgery involving plates and screws, followed by inpatient rehabilitation and ongoing pain management. The injury left her unable to walk for months, reliant on a cane, and unable to drive, and it limited her ability to care for her husband, who was undergoing cancer treatment. We secured a $475,000 settlement for her medical costs, loss of mobility, and diminished quality of life.

His father sustained dental injuries requiring full reconstruction, as well as serious neck and back trauma. Despite initial resistance, we recovered $275,000 for their medical care and financial losses.

Our client, a service manager at a car dealership, suffered a serious lower back injury while moving a heavy toolbox during a cleanup effort. She immediately experienced sharp pain radiating down her right leg and was later diagnosed with a crushed nerve. Despite surgery and multiple treatments, including injections, her pain persisted and limited her ability to work. Restricted to working from home, she then faced retaliation: the dealership attempted to alter her pay, isolate her from daily operations, and push her out of her role. We secured a $215,000 settlement to support her medical recovery and protect her from further financial harm.
