When selecting a personal injury lawyer to help with your case, good results in and out of the courtroom are an important measure of success of any trial attorney and should be a critical factor in determining who to hire. With more than 20 years of winning fair compensation for clients like you, attorney Kurt Larson understands that every case is unique and has the experience to help you achieve the best possible outcome for you and your family.
Below are a few examples of the results Kurt and his staff have obtained for their clients in regards to personal injury settlements:
$9,073,369.30 Judgment
Our 90-year-old client broke her ankle when another driver ran a stop sign causing a serious wreck. Our client sustained a serious Pilon-type injury to her right ankle including fractures to her tibia, fibula, and distortion of the normal ankle mortise. Due to the severity of this orthopedic injury, we hired a life care planner to calculate the costs of future medical care over our clients lifetime. We took the other driver to Court and obtained an $8,173,369.30 Judgment for our injured client, and a $900,000.00 Judgment for our client’s husband due to the interference with their marriage and his quality of life.
Confidential Walmart Settlement
This case involved a client who tripped over a blown over price display outside a Walmart store in Nixa, Christian County, Missouri. Our client fractured her hip requiring surgery, and as a result of the surgery she developed a nerve injury to her right upper leg known as Meralgia Paresthetica. She ultimately required the implantation of a spinal cord stimulator due to her Meralgia Paresthetica. Walmart originally denied all liability, and claimed our client was not entitled to discovery of its internal documents because her “damages are relatively small.” However, we filed multiple Motions for Sanctions resulting in the appointment of a discovery special master forcing Walmart to produce its internal written policies and procedures, and a “claims run” showing other similar falls. We were able to prove that Walmart employees violated its internal safety rules requiring employees to secure signs in windy conditions, and that this was not the first time a Walmart customer has tripped over a blown over sign. After nearly two years of litigation, Walmart admitted liability, dismissed its comparative fault claim, and settled with our client for a confidential amount at mediation.
