Our firm is proud to announce a $12,999,250 verdict in a significant negligence case tried in a San Francisco federal court. The case involved our client, who suffered a life-altering injury while riding public transportation when their mobility scooter was not properly secured by the bus driver. As a result, they fell, aggravating a recent knee surgery and leading to a permanent disability.
This case was an uphill battle, spanning multiple trials and an appeal. Initially, we won on negligence at the appellate level after the case was dismissed on summary judgment. The first two trials resulted in mistrials—one due to a jury deadlock and another due to misconduct by opposing counsel. After securing sanctions against the defense, the case proceeded to a third trial, where the jury delivered a decisive verdict in favor of our client.
Our firm remains dedicated to fighting for justice, no matter how challenging the case. This victory is a testament to our relentless advocacy and belief in the power of the legal system to protect those who have been wronged.
Carla D. Aikens, P.L.C.
