Firm Recovers Half A Million Dollars for Client

We recently settled a case for half a million dollars for our client who was in his boat fishing when he was seriously injured  when another boat smashed into him at a high rate of speed.  Our client was slowly back trolling when the other boater hit him right smack in the rear of the boat and fractured our clients pelvis and hip socket.  The negligent boater was driving blindly into the sun and never saw our client before the impact.

Although there was no alcohol or drugs involved in this crash,our client’ s injuries were preventable had the negligent boater followed the rules of the road.  As with a car,  one must never outdrive the  headlights, and a boater must slow down or stop when he cannot see what is ahead.

The surgeon who put two large metal plates and many screws in our client’s pelvis and hip said that it was a miracle that our client lived through this trauma.  Indeed, this man had great medical care, a wonderful supportive family,  courage and the will to get better that had him back on his feet (although with a permanent drop foot, a cane and a great deal of continuing pain) and back in the boat fishing within a year. We were honored to be of service to this wonderful man and his family.
