Our Case Results

While visiting Atlanta, our client was injured at a restaurant when a chair collapsed as he was being seated, causing him to fall hard to the floor. He sustained injuries to his shoulder, back, neck, hips, and wrists, and the fall aggravated a pre-existing back condition.

A three-year-old child was injured at a Georgia daycare after falling from a rolling stool during play and sustaining a deep cut under the chin. The family later raised concerns about inadequate supervision, limited access to incident footage, and ongoing safety issues at the facility.

Our client was leaving a major retail store when a security guard suddenly approached, tackled them, and wrongfully accused them of shoplifting, causing painful bruises and abrasions. Our attorneys successfully secured a $300,000 settlement for the incident.

In late 2022 our firm recovered $275,000 for a client who injured her leg when she partly fell through a wooden staircase outside the back door of her apartment building.  The management company failed to file an Answer to the Complaint, but later hired an attorney to set aside the default, blaming the insurance company for not filing an Answer.  Although Courts usually open default, our lawyers Justin Oliverio and Bruce Millar were able to successfully argue in both the Trial Court and the Georgia Court of Appeals that the management company had failed to check to be certain its insurance company had filed an Answer.  Once our firm won the Appeal, the insurance company wrote a large check. 

In late 2022 our firm negotiated a settlement of over $450,000 for a child injured by a falling hotel room TV set.  In this case, the hotel had placed an old 32-inch picture-tube television on a small chest of drawers.  When the child opened the top drawer, the entire cabinet and TV fell over on top of him.  Our firm filed suit and hired a furniture safety expert who investigated and determined that the hotel violated industry and safety standards, resulting in a substantial settlement. 

In the fall of 2022 our firm successfully recovered over $425,000 for a child injured when a large television overturned on him in a hotel room.  The hotel tried to blame the child and his parents for pulling the television over.  Our firm hired a commercial furniture expert to analyze the incident.  The expert determined that the television was not properly secured and was too large, so that when the child opened a drawer, the TV and dresser became unsteady and toppled over. 

In the spring of 2020 our office recovered $250,000 for an out-of-town visitor who was injured at a major Atlanta hotel chain when the chair she sat in collapsed.  The incident happened when she sat in a chair in the business center.  We were able to prove that the chair had become damaged while in-use by others at the Hotel and should have been inspected and removed from service before our client was allowed to use it.

Our client was sitting in a chair at the Atlanta Sheraton. The chair collapsed while our client was sitting in it, resulting in a long term serious knee injury. Our client had to have knee surgery performed. Our lawyers were able to prove that the chair was unsafe for anyone. It resulted in victory for our client.
