Representative Experience:
- Secured a favorable verdict in Orange County, Florida following a 7 day trial. The case involved an admitted liability auto case with catastrophic injuries to 2 plaintiffs one of whom was outside of their vehicle at the time of the crash. The insured was alleged to have been impaired and punitive damages were submitted to the jury after the liability portion of the case. The jury awarded reasonable compensatory damages in light of the catastrophic injuries. Further, the jury determined that no punitive damages were warranted.

- Successfully obtained a summary judgment on the duty to defend and indemnify in a coverage case alleging a pharmacy technician was persuaded into filling a prescription and providing a label for a person other than the one seeking the medication. The court ruled the complaint’s allegations fell within the policy’s professional liability exclusion.
