In 2021 Haley Law secured a $13,500,000 settlement on behalf of two minor children for the wrongful death of their parents. The horrific accident happened in December of 2016 when the parents of our two clients were struck from behind by a commercial tractor-trailer while stopped in traffic. The truck driver and his employer disputed liability, claiming that the actions of other drivers involved in the multi-vehicle accident were to blame. Haley Law conducted extensive investigation into the accident, that included: locating and obtaining black box data retrieved from the tractor-trailer, identifying internal documents that reflected unsafe practices maintained by the commercial trucking company, and performing extensive accident reconstruction to identify the cause of the multi-vehicle collision. After nearly four years of litigation the commercial trucking company agreed to settle the matter for $13,500,000.
Our client, a medical doctor, suffered a stroke several days after having a massage. The masseuse denied liability and claimed they were not the cause of our client’s stroke. However, after extensive medical research and retention of a nationally recognized neurologist, we were able to establish that our client’s stroke was the result of a vertebral artery dissection that occurred during the massage. Following the outcome of our investigation the defendants sought to settle the matter for a large sum
Our client was walking down the sidewalk on his way to work when he was struck by a vehicle. Following our investigation into the collision, it was discovered that the vehicle was a public works truck that struck a drop box, lost control, rode up on to the sidewalk, and hit our client.
Plaintiff and his girlfriend took a vacation out of state to a timeshare. Upon their return, Plaintiff became violently ill and was ultimately diagnosed with Legionnaire’s disease. We were able to trace the disease back to the hotel water supply.
Plaintiff was driving down the road in Oakland when a pizza delivery driver turned left in front of him and caused a collision. Plaintiff had extensive pre-existing physical problems and limitations and the defense offered only $ 15,000.00, arguing all of the Plaintiff’s problems were present prior to the accident. With the jury out, the Defendant offered $ 200,000.00, which the Plaintiff rejected. The jury awarded a large settlement.
We successfully represented several husbands who were set up by corrupt police officers and their ex-wives for DUI arrests so that evidence of the arrests could be used against them in family court disputes. One of the officers involved in this case was ultimately arrested and found guilty in an accompanying criminal case for corruption after it came to light that he facilitated our client's arrest in return for, among other things, cocaine.
