Verdicts & Settlements
PERSONAL INJURY and ACCIDENT VICTIMS
Following are representative cases and results Terry Welch and the firm has obtained for personal injury and accident clients:
- A husband received the full insurance policy payoff of $500,000 for the wrongful death of his wife who was killed by a negligent driver who had no significant assets. The husband was a passenger in the car during the accident.
- A baby boy was killed when a drunk uninsured driver, going 70 mph, slammed into the back of cars stopped on a freeway. A 2 ½ year-old brother was seriously injured in the accident and required a body cast. The mother and father were also injured. The case required lobbying of the legislature for changes in the law and settled for a large sum against the dram shop bar where the defendant had been drinking.
- A construction worker in his mid-20s fell from a cherry-picker and broke his arm. The doctor negligently set the arm to drain back into the wound. Although the patient’s arm was saved, it had only limited mobility. The lawyers resolved the case for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- A doctor over-prescribed and mismanaged the antibiotic treatment of young woman, which led to partial loss of her inner-ear function. The case settled in the multiple six-figures.
- Terry Welch and other personal injury attorneys at the firm have been involved with numerous personal injury settlements and mediations, resulting in many millions of dollars in settlements and awards.
