Secured a no-liability verdict for our client, the defendant, who had asked a neighbor for help in removing a heavy tree branch from the roof of his two-story building. Following the plaintiff's fall from the roof, he sustained serious injuries, including left hip fractures and bilateral elbow fractures and dislocations, with medical bills exceeding $115,000. Prior to trial, the plaintiff sought the policy limits of $500,000, while our pre-trial offer was $50,000, and he ultimately requested $1.6 million from the jury. After four days of trial, the jury concluded that the defendant was not liable for the plaintiff’s injuries, highlighting Hinshaw's effective defense strategy. Ioan Dumitru v. Juan Mendoza

Secured a favorable verdict for Hinshaw client, a large national insurance company, when the jury awarded the plaintiffs only $29,391 following their claim under the uninsured motorist provision after an uninsured driver destroyed their Chevy Suburban. The five-day trial was necessitated by disputes over settlement offers, focusing on breach of contract and the assessment of damages. The plaintiffs, who claimed soft tissue injuries, sought over $300,000, citing more than $50,000 in medical expenses and approximately $200,000 in lost wages, while the insurance company's prior offers totaled just $27,000.
