At Dale Appell, P.A., we are extremely proud of the results we obtain for our clients and look forward to sharing with you several selected cases:


$2,100,000 | Motor Vehicle Accident | Pasco County, Florida

Our firm represented the estate of a motorcyclist who was killed when a 17 year old defendant drove into the path of our client’s motorcycle.  Upon being retained, our firm immediately hired an accident reconstruction engineer who interviewed numerous witnesses.  The engineer also went to the scene of the collision to gather valuable evidence and take measurements which proved that the young automobile driver was fully at fault for the wrongful death of our client.


$600,000 | Motor Vehicle Accident | Hillsborough County, Florida

Our client was involved in two auto accidents within a 4 month period that resulted in the need for surgery to the client’s spine and knee.  The defendants claimed that the surgeries were the natural progression of pre-existing injuries, although the client had received only chiropractic treatment prior to the auto accidents.

 

$500,000 | Medical Malpractice | Hillsborough County, Florida

The oral surgeon failed to follow the established standard of care when performing surgery on our client resulting in an infection and eventual need to replace the client’s bottom jaw bone.   The oral surgeon’s liability was clearly established after our firm hired an expert who proved that the oral surgeon deviated from the established standard of care.


$450,000 | Medical Malpractice | Pasco County, Florida

Our client’s primary doctor failed to recognize a medical emergency even after having reviewed the client’s MRI films that showed herniated discs cutting into the client’s spinal cord.  The client eventually received emergency surgery to correct the problem, but the delay resulted in the client’s permanent partial paralysis.

 

$275,000 | Premise Liability | Pinellas County, Florida

Our client was enjoying an evening visiting with her friends in their recreational vehicle.    When she went to leave, the recreational vehicle’s steps failed to engage causing our client to fall several feet to the ground, resulting in injury to her back and shoulder.


$250,000 | Jet Ski Accident | Sarasota County, Florida

Our 16 year old client was enjoying an afternoon with friends towing a raft behind a Jet Ski.   He was taking his turn on the raft when the Jet Ski’s driver suddenly decided to head straight toward shore at full speed.  The driver sharply turned the Jet Ski just a few feet from the shoreline flinging the raft and our client on shore.  Going at a speed estimated at 70 mph, our client was flung into a nearby tree resulting in significant injury.

 

$225,000 | Motor Vehicle Accident | Pasco County, Florida

Our client was rear ended by a truck, resulting in the need for surgery to the client’s shoulder and treatment for injury to her neck.

 

$225,000 | Motor Vehicle Accident | Pasco County, Florida

Our client was 13 years old when an auto accident caused her to need TMJ surgery to repair injury to her jaw joint.    The client’s settlement can help pay the cost of any additional TMJ surgery she may need in the future. 

 

$200,000 | Motor Vehicle Accident | Pinellas County, Florida

Our client was a passenger when the automobile’s driver lost control of the vehicle during an impromptu street race causing our client to be ejected from the vehicle.  The client suffered a traumatic brain injury.  Despite the fact that the client was not wearing the available seatbelt, our firm was able to obtain the total available insurance policy limits. 

 

Not all of the firm’s results have been provided.  Prospective client’s individual facts and circumstances may differ from the results that have been provided in the selected settlements and verdicts above.
