Landmark Verdicts That Define Our Practice

When settlement fails, we go to trial — and we win. These cases represent the kind of high-stakes litigation other firms turn down.

Wrongful Death // Hamilton County Record

$25,000,000

Verdict Against Total Quality Logistics (TQL)

A high-risk pregnant employee was denied a remote work accommodation by TQL. The premature birth that followed resulted in the infant's death. A Hamilton County jury awarded $25M and apportioned 90% fault to TQL — one of the largest jury verdicts in Hamilton County history.
