    Verdicts/Settlements (Case Results):

    • $1M Settlement for Trampoline Park injury - Our client was paralyzed as a result of jumping in a defective foam pit, 2015
    • $325K Verdict for patient fall in hospital. The hospital's highest offer was $15k.  Our client was deemed a fall risk by the staff. However, nurses failed to follow the hospital's fall prevention protocol, which caused our client to fall and break her thigh, 2016
    • $4M Settlement or Dram Shop Liability - A man visited a bar and drank until he was visibly intoxicated. The restaurant was aware of the man's drunken state, and it allowed him to drive. Unfortunately, the man struck our client's family member, who was on a motorcycle and killed him, 2017
    • $1.5M Settlement - Our client suffered significant injuries to his legs as a result of being in a bad car wreck. The client's first attorney advised him to settle for $30k. After hiring us we were able to obtain a much more substantial settlement, 2017
    • $3M Settlement or Trampoline Park Injury - Our client went to a trampoline park with his son. Unbeknownst to our client, the foam pit for customers to jump into had not been built in a reasonably safe manner. As a result, when our client jumped into the pit, he struck the bottom and suffered a spinal cord injury that has left him paralyzed from the waist down, 2018
    • $500k - Our client was hit by a UPS truck that failed to yield when pulling out of a driveway, 2019
    • $2.970M Settlement - After litigating the case for seven months, Seay/Felton Trial Lawyers, along with Parks Law, settled a wrongful death case involving a drowning in South Georgia, 2020
    • $500k Settlement - Our client was driving his motorcycle when a police officer recklessly (and needlessly) joined a high-speed chase. During the chase, in which the officer was driving in excess of 70 mph through a city street (without sirens), the officer improperly changed lanes while he was behind our client, and while our client was making a left-hand turn. Our client suffered burns to half his body and he broke several bones. Under ordinary circumstances, our client would be entitled to significantly more but his settlement was capped because of governmental immunity. The officer was criminally charged with reckless driving, 2020
    • $175k Settlement - Our client, a tenant of an apartment complex, was the victim of an assault that occurred at the property, due to inadequate security. After retaining our office for legal representation against the apartment complex and litigating this matter for 18 months, our firm recovered $175,000, 2020
    • $30k Verdict - A driver made an illegal left turn, which resulted in our client incurring medical bills and missing seven days of work, 2020
