Settlements & Verdicts
The following are results that we have achieved for actual clients. The facts of individual cases vary and these are not necessarily indicative of the value of another case. These results can be helpful to illustrate the experience of the team of lawyers at The Yost Legal Group.
$325,000 Verdict Auto Accident / Police Officer Makes Left Turn into Path of Driver
Man suffered permanent shoulder injury and traumatic brain injury when a Baltimore City Police Officer made a left-hand turn in front of his vehicle. The city argued that the man was contributorily negligent in causing the collision due to the fact that he was traveling in a lane where parking was permitted. The Yost Legal Group successfully eliminated the City’s liability argument, and a jury awarded the man $325,000 solely for his non-economic damages. The maximum recoverable amount the man could have received under Maryland law was $400,000.
Confidential Settlement Auto Accident / Vehicle Rollover Causing Catastrophic Injuries
A family of five severely injured when their vehicle rolled over due to the tire falling off the axle. One was ejected from the vehicle. Several received traumatic brain injuries. The family had recently had their car serviced by a national car repair/servicing chain. When the lawyers at the Yost Legal Group were hired, the car was no longer available. It had been declared a total loss and sold for salvage. The lawyers were able to reconstruct what caused the tire to fall off through expert forensic engineers. After three days of trial the family settled their case for a significant confidential amount.
