"My experience with Rosensteel Fleishman was, in a word, outstanding. After my accident, Mr. Fleishman and his staff exceeded my expectations, and got me the maximum amount money that I was owed by the insurance company. They were thorough, efficient and professional. I will highly recommend them to anyone needing a personal injury attorney."

Most firms list their entire settlement history. This is irrelevant and misleading as the the law is constantly changing especially when dealing with available monetary damages to injured people. Below is a small representative sampling of actual Settlements and Verdicts obtained for our clients since 2011, the last time the law underwent a major change on damages:

$2,300,000

Facts: Our client, a married woman with minor children was killed when her vehicle struck another vehicle while going through an intersection. Unfortunately, there were no witnesses to the accident and the other driver claimed he had the green light. Further, the toxicology results of our client showed that her blood alcohol content (BAC) was beyond the legal limit and our client was considered legally intoxicated. The insurance carrier for the other driver denied liability. We disagreed and filed suit in State Superior Court.

$2,200,000

Facts: A drunk driver struck a car with four members of the same family. One family member was killed (and represented separately). The other family members suffered injuries (our clients). The defendant driver carried minimum limits coverage. After extensive investigation we were able to identify the bar where the drunk driver had been drinking. The insurance carrier for the bar denied liability. We filed suit in State Superior Court. After substantial discovery the bar tendered the policy limits of two million dollars rather than go in front of a jury.

$1,915,000

Facts: Our client, a married man with two adult children was killed when his vehicle was struck by another vehicle. The Defendant blamed our client for causing the accident and claimed he was speeding and inattentive. Further, our client’s medical records noted he was on numerous medications and was instructed to not drive his vehicle by his doctor. The insurance carrier for the other driver denied liability. We disagreed and filed suit in State Superior Court.

$1,056,000

Facts: Our client, underwent a medical procedure wherein transvaginal mesh was inserted which resulted in numerous physical and medical complications. Initially the case was evaluated as a potential medical malpractice. After our medical review revealed that success under the current medical malpractice statute was questionable we changed course and pursued a products liability case against the manufacturer of the mesh. Along with co-counsel in a class action lawsuit, suit was filed in federal court.

$1,000,000

Facts: Our client was in a single car accident in NC. The client was taken to a local hospital and admitted. He was released two days later however the radiologist misread the films prior to discharge. The client passed away three days after his discharge from the hospital. Hospital and radiologist argued death was unrelated to hospital stay.

$1,000,000

Facts: Our client’s jet ski exploded after being repaired at a local shop. The client was seriously injured. The client was originally represented by a different law firm which dropped his case because their attorneys didn’t think they could win. After multiple firms turned the client down, he found us. We filed suit, hired experts, deposed the defendant, and tracked down a former employee of the shop. At mediation the insurance company tendered their full policy.

$900,000

Facts: Our client was in a car accident where his vehicle struck an improperly parked vehicle. Initially the client complained only of shoulder pain. While his shoulder injury improved he later developed cognitive complaints. The client’s diagnostic studies and later the neuropsychological report were benign, however, the client continued to complain of lingering symptoms. The defense argued against medical causation based on pre-existing medical treatment and a gap in treatment.

$850,000

Facts: Confidential settlement of employment law issue.
