Brain Injury — Automotive Accidents
Our client, a high school student, was a passenger in a car with four friends driving at night after leaving a party where the driver consumed alcohol. The driver was unable to negotiate a curve on a rural road and the vehicle overturned. Our client suffered brain damage, which affected his speech, memory, the use of his arm and compromised his ability to walk. Our brain damage attorneys proved that the lack of a warning sign was a significant factor in the accident.

Result: $1,770,000 Jury Verdict

Our client, a laborer was installing air conditioning when he was knocked to the ground from the top of a ladder by a falling piece of ventilation weighing 200 pounds. Upon striking the ground, he hit his head and suffered an injury to his brain.

Result: $1,000,000 Settlement

Brain Injury — Construction Accidents
Our client, a 43-year-old laborer, was working for a contractor hired by a housing tract developer. He dug a hole for a multi-ton septic tank to be placed by another contractor. The tank was held in a cradle on a crane and lowered into the hole. As it was being lowered, a cable came loose, releasing a six-foot-long, 75-pound iron bar. Our client, standing nearby, was knocked down. He suffered head injuries resulting in a hearing deficit, poor vision, fatigue, memory problems and emotional impairments.

Result: $1,000,000 Settlement

Brain Injury — Defective Products
Our client, a 50-year-old father of two, was hanging Christmas lights on his garage when the ladder collapsed beneath him. He hit his head on the ground and suffered brain and spinal injuries. Our California brain injury attorney was able to prove that the design was insufficient to prevent the ladder from buckling and collapsing.

Result: $1,850,000 Settlement

Brain Injury — Defective Products
Our client, a mechanic in a rental yard, was mounting a multi-piece rim on the axle of a vehicle when the wheel exploded. He was struck in the forehead and knocked back 30 feet. He suffered permanent brain damage. Our brain damage attorney in California proved that the design was defective in that there was no way to tell whether or not the rim parts were locked in place.

Result: $1,200,000 Settlement

Brain Injury — General Negligence
Our client, a 53-year-old veteran truck driver and father of two, was working for a heavy equipment hauling company doing work at a NASA facility near San Jose. NASA employees were helping him load a section of the space shuttle onto a flatbed truck when a 250-pound towbar unexpectedly swung around knocking him off the truck onto the ground 10 feet below. The accident left him brain-damaged and a quadriplegic requiring institutional care.

Result: Federal judge awarded $4,200,000.
The case went through two trials and an appeal to the Federal Court of Appeals. The U.S. Supreme Court denied the U.S. Government's petition for hearing.

Brain Injury — Toxic Substances
Our client's mother ate homegrown vegetables from her garden while pregnant and unknowingly ingested lead that had migrated through the air from a spray paint booth in a nearby factory. This exposure cased birth defects, including deafness, impaired vision, acute scoliosis, malformations of the cerebellum and brain stem, and mental retardation. Since the paint factory was bankrupt, the verdict was against the paint manufacturer for failing to provide adequate warnings and instructions.

Result: $3,970,000 Verdict
This was the first case in the country to show that lead in the environment caused birth defects.

Brain Injury — Toxic Substances
Our client was an artist who lived in a loft. Wicker baskets, which were sprayed with toxic fumigants to protect them from rodents, were stored in the area just below her. She hired a Gordon Edelstein brain injury attorney in California because the exposure to the fumes caused memory loss, and she could no longer work as an artist.

Result: Substantial Six-Figure Settlement

Brain Injury — Toxic Substances
The client of our Los Angeles brain injury attorney, a pay dozer operator, was working at the Port of Los Angeles. He accidentally broke into an underground storage tank filled with residual chemicals. The fumes caused him to pass out and suffer slight brain injury.

Result: $500,000 Settlement
