Have You Been Personally Injured? Maybe It’s Time to Talk to a Lawyer

There are different kinds of personal injury that one can be involved in. Serious personal injury

can be obtained from a vehicular accident, workplace accidents, accidents while traveling,

accidents while in

the hospital or

grocery, medical

malpractice and

others. You can be

walking down the

street and be hit by

a car and be

seriously injured.

Most often than not,

those who were at

fault tend to “run away” from their responsibilities, making a lawsuit inevitable.

Serious physical injuries involving big companies often end up in big settlements, while in some

cases, a trial and a verdict by a jury becomes essential. Settlements can reach as high as a million

dollars, but it always depends on the conditions surrounding the cases. If you experienced

serious physical injury and is looking for justice, it would help if you can remember all the

details of your accident correctly. It would also be best to seek for help, as a vehicular accident

may not be entirely the fault of the other party. Lawyers can definitely help you learn more

about your case and plan the appropriate action that should follow.

Booth and Koskoff is a law firm that specializes in personal injury. The lawyers of the firm have

been helping clients win their cases since 1984 with million-dollar verdicts and settlements.

Larry Booth was one of the first lawyers in California to get a million-dollar verdict and he was

able to pass on his skills and knowledge about personal injury cases to his partners and

associates.

The largest verdict that Booth and Koskoff had was for $28.9 million, awarded by the jury in

1997. This was for a personal injury case filed against the City of Los Angeles, filed by the Mota

family. The case was

somewhat unusual,

because instead of going

after the driver (who

was found to have

alcohol in his blood),

Richard Koskoff, a

partner of the firm, went

after the city

government who was responsible for maintaining the road. The road lacked markings and was

obscured, making it difficult for the driver to see where he was going. Koskoff succeeded in

proving the jury that the accident was the city government’s fault, and his clients benefitted

from his unique strategy.

Most serious physical injury cases tend to get settled, and Booth and Koskoff also have their fair

share of settlement with big corporations. In cases where a corporation or a company is at fault,

a settlement tend to be more practical, since it would cost more for the corporation to bring the

case into trial, where the verdict to be given by the jury is unpredictable. One of the biggest

settlements that Booth and Koskoff had was with Fujita (Lee vs Fujita) at $ 12,000, 000. A full

list of the firm’s successful lawsuits can be seen on their website.

With the firm’s experience in personal injury lawsuits, it is not surprising that the lawyers of

Booth and Koskoff have managed to stay on the field for a long time. With their current track

record, you can expect more successful cases from the elite lawyers of Booth and Koskoff.
