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.
$290,000 Settlement Dog Bite
While walking her dog, a woman suffered significant injury when another dog ran off the front porch of its owner’s home and instigated a fight with the woman’s dog. The woman tried to break up the fight between the dogs and was bitten on her hand, and ultimately, the bite became infected, and she suffered significant nerve damage causing numbness and weakness in her hand. The Yost Legal Group obtained a settlement of $290,000.

$2,374,874 Verdict Lead Paint Poisoning
Plaintiff was lead-poisoned while living in an old and poorly maintained home from the time of his birth in 1993 through 1995. During that time, the plaintiff was exposed to defective and dangerous flaking, chipping and peeling lead-based paint. As a result of that exposure, the plaintiff suffered from severe intellectual, behavioral and cognitive disabilities. The jury awarded $2,374,874 to the plaintiff to cover all of his harms and losses.
$220,000 Verdict Auto Accident
Our client severely injured his knee in an auto accident. The injury required surgery to repair the damage, resulting in permanent physical impairment to the knee. The permanent pain and discomfort in his knee negatively impacted his quality of life, in particular his love of playing competitive basketball. He could no longer play the game at the level he had prior to the injury, which caused the plaintiff to become less social and more withdrawn. Basketball had been an integral part of his social life. The driver that hit our client only had $100,000.00 in insurance coverage and the carrier would only offer a small portion of that to settle the case.
At a bench trial in the Circuit Court for Baltimore County (jury trials were suspended at that time due to the pandemic), the lawyers at The Yost Legal Group were able to obtain a verdict of $220,000.00 for our client, which exceeded the insurance limits of the defendant. The Yost Legal Group then pursued a “bad faith” claim against the insurance company and ultimately collected every single penny of that verdict for our client.
