Verdicts / Settlements (Case Results):
- Motor Vehicle Accident. The Carr Law Firm represented a victim of a rear-end collision and obtained a recovery of $300,000 which was the full limits of all insurance policies.
- Verdict: A client of the Carr Law Firm, P.A., just received a favorable jury verdict after a very hard-fought two-week jury trial in a construction case that involved claims for Breach of Contract and Construction Lien Foreclosure. The lawsuit was filed in 2008 for our client, a General Contractor, against a homeowner for failing to pay the amounts due pursuant to a construction contract. In response, the homeowner alleged everything from Fraud, Exploitation of the Elderly, violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, Negligence, violation of Florida’s Building Code, Fraudulent Lien and Construction Defects. The lien was found VALID, and the jury found that the Defendant breached the construction contract and awarded our client every dollar sought. The jury also found that there were no construction defects.
- Settlement reached: The Carr Law Firm, P.A., litigated a case in federal court that involved allegations of breach of contract, trademark and copyright infringement, unfair competition, trade secrets and deceptive and unfair trade practices. On July 17, 2014, AVANTCARE, INC., ROGERS W. KIRVEN, JR., ACCESS HEALTH PARTNERS, LLC, FIFTY K GROUP, LLC, PURICORP HOLDINGS, LLC, DECLINOL LLC, PURIDONE LLC and APIQUEL LLC, jointly dismissed with prejudice the federal lawsuit that was filed by Avantcare, Inc., last year, with each party to bear its own legal expenses and with no party admitting any wrongdoing or liability. Attorneys at the Carr Law Firm, P.A., represented the Defendants.
- Slip and Fall at Hotel. The Carr Law Firm represented a lady who, upon returning from a theme park, slipped and fell in the bathroom in her hotel room. The case was litigated in Federal Court in Orlando. In 2017, the Carr Law Firm reached a favorable settlement for their client in the amount of $175,000.
- Wrongful Death Case: Lindsay Winn, as Personal Representative of the Estate of Westley S. Winn vs. JCS Towing and Transport, LLC. The Carr Law Firm represented Lindsay Winn in this lawsuit to recover damages related to the tragic death of her husband Westley Winn, the victim of a horrific highway crash involving a truck towing a large trailer in Orange County, FL. The case was complicated by the insurance company for the trailer denying coverage which was the subject of a separate lawsuit in Seminole County, FL. Despite allegations that the crash was caused by our client, Carr Law Firm performed a detailed crash investigation and was able obtain a confidential settlement in 2020.
