$575,000 for Plaintiff, an elderly woman, who suffered a broken hip when scaffolding fell from a construction site onto the sidewalk. Defendants denied responsibility for the scaffolding. Plaintiff used industry expert consultants and depositions of numerous employees of Defendant's to show fault on the part of Defendant. Plaintiff used life care plan consultants and a video of testimony from Plaintiff's family to confirm the severity of the injuries and the traumatic effect on Plaintiff's lifestyle.

$300,000 for a man injured in a construction accident.
GJEL injury attorneys successfully represented a man whose foot was crushed while digging a utility trench at the site of a new housing development in Contra Costa County. Despite the fact that the OSHA investigation of the accident showed "no violation" by our client's employer, GJEL's lawyers showed that the defendants (the developer, landowner, and construction company) were aware of at least two prior trench failures and were well aware that the soil condition presented a significant hazard. The $300,000 result covered medical costs and past and future wage loss.

$197,500 for the victim of a truck accident on Interstate 80.
GJEL accident attorneys represented a CalTrans employee in this lawsuit against the contractor of a construction site on which our client was working. The defendant driver of the truck and his employers were held 100% responsible for the accident, which included multiple fractured ribs, contusions, and a head injury.
