Case Results

Our client suffered significant injuries when his vehicle was struck by a construction truck in a construction zone. After years of aggressively fighting to maximize the value of my client’s claim, Mr. Wiseman able to obtain him an excellent seven figure result.

At his former law firm, Mr. Wiseman helped his client in a case where she had been catastrophically injured as a passenger in the rear of a vehicle which was t-boned exiting a gas station. She filed a lawsuit against the driver of the vehicle, the gas station owner and a number of entities involved in the construction of the gas station. The case was successfully resolved for $8.9 million just days before trial.

Mr. Wiseman was part of a 4 member legal team who represented a middle aged women who slipped and fell in a fast food restaurant. She suffered a severe neck fracture, RSD and was no longer able to work. The case was fought to the end and finally successfully resolved for approximately $7 million.

Our 91 year old client was crushed between two vehicles suffering a significant leg fracture which left her in a wheelchair. USAA was the insurance company for the at fault defendant. Despite trying to reach an amicable settlement before trial, USAA, on their insured’s behalf, chose not to settle the case. At trial the jury awarded our client $3.189 million dollars, millions more than what our client offered to settle the case for before trial. The lawyer hired by USAA to represent their insured (the defendant) asked the jury to award $150,000 in past and future pain and suffering damages – the jury awarded $2.4 million for pain and suffering!!! Our law firm took on big insurance and corporate America and won. Our client was very grateful for our courage and fearlessness.

Our client tripped and fell while a guest at a hotel suffering disabling neurologic and nervous system injuries. We were able to obtain a very satisfying result on a very challenging trip and fall case.

After a long hard fought battle, Mr. Wiseman was able to secure a significant seven figure result for his client who was raped at an apartment complex. Mr. Wiseman alleged that the apartment complex negligently provided security which resulted in the rapist being able to gain access to the apartment building and commit the rape. Although no amount of money can compensate a rape victim, Mr. Wiseman’s client was very happy with the result.

Our client was shot and killed by a security guard on an apartment complex. After the security company (the security guard’s employer) tendered their insurance policy limits, our client filed a negligence lawsuit against the apartment complex who denied any wrongdoing and blamed the security guard and the security company for our client’s death. Ultimately, our client was able to obtain a good result in a very difficult case.

Mr. Wiseman helped prosecute a local government on behalf of a catastrophically injured client for failing to properly maintain a tree which had fallen on his vehicle while driving. The local government had a cap on their damages of $100,000, however, against all conceivable odds the claim was ultimately successfully settled for $1.7 million.

Simon Wiseman and his trial partner, Riley Allen recently obtained a $1.7 million verdict from a jury in Orange County, Florida in a negligent security case. Mr. Wiseman’s client was robbed and shot while parking his car at the Embassy Suites, Jamaican Court Orlando. Although Mr. Wiseman’s client survived he sustained severe injuries. There was a lack of security, which was provided by SecurAmerica, patrolling the outside of the hotel because they were performing housekeeping duties on the inside of the hotel at the request of the hotel.

This lack of attention to deterring crime on the outside of the hotel made the hotel a target for crime. This was evidenced when 10 days earlier a guest was robbed and shot in the parking lot of the hotel in almost identical fashion. Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Allen were able to expose this neglect. As a result, Mr. Wiseman was able to get an excellent result for his client.

Mr. Wiseman stated: “This was a David v. Goliath trial where “David” defeated “corporate America”, which included the likes of Hilton, Embassy Suites, SecurAmerica and Interstate hotel management company. I hope the Embassy Suites hotel will change its ways by spending more money on security to keeps its guests safe, especially in a tourist area such as International Drive.“

Mr. Wiseman represented the daughter of an elderly nursing home resident who died as a result of a fall which resulted in a fracture to her ankle, which later became infected. The nursing home failed to minimize the risk of the resident falling, timely detect the infection, and then treat it accordingly. The nursing home did not have any non-excess insurance coverage. Mr. Wiseman successfully, and against all odds, obtained a $900,000.00 result.

After being struck by a large box truck, our client sustained a fractured back. Fortunately, it did not cause a spinal cord injury so he elected to undergo a minimally invasive back surgery which was successful. We were able to obtain over 55 times his medical expenses-an incredible life changing result for he and his wife.

Mr. Wiseman’s client was riding her bike when she was struck by a commercial vehicle and her right of way violated. The defendant driver and company claimed they were not at fault because they had the right of way and contended my client’s neck and back injuries pre-existed the collision. The insurance company for the defendant driver and company hired an orthopedic surgeon, a radiologist, a biomechanical engineer and a medical billing and coding expert to defend their position. After approximately 18 months of intense litigation, Mr. Wiseman was able to obtain a great high six figure result for his client.

Mr. Wiseman went to trial against Progressive Insurance Company because they refused to pay his client $25,000 in uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. This insurance coverage was purchased by Mr. Wiseman’s client to cover her in the event she got in an accident with someone who did not have insurance or did not have enough to cover her for any injury damages she may sustain. Progressive blamed Mr. Wiseman’s client for causing the accident and told the jury her injuries were not caused by the accident. Progressive paid an accident reconstruction expert and two medical experts thousands of dollars to give opinions that would support their position. Fortunately, the jury did not believe these experts but instead believed Mr. Wiseman’s client and her treating physicians. The jury awarded Mr. Wiseman’s client $650,000, 26 times what they could have settled the case for. Don’t let big insurance companies bully you – hire the Wiseman Law Firm to hold them accountable.

My client was struck in the head when entering a store. A large commercial door lost resistance and flew back striking her in the forehead. She suffered significant head and neck injuries which both required surgery. The defendants argued that it was her fault for pulling the door back into her head and it was a freak accident. We argued that this was a known problem and that there had been similar problems with the door before my client was struck. We also argued that the defendants did not preserve vital evidence which hindered our ability to prosecute the case. Despite the case being a very difficult and complex case, we were able to obtain a great result for the client.

Our client was rear ended by a commercial truck. Following the accident, she had neck and back surgery. The defendants argued, because of her age and significant neck and low back treatment before the accident, that her neck and back surgery was due to neck and back injuries which pre-existed the rear end accident. Fortunately, despite it being difficult to prove her injuries were related to the accident and not a pre-existing condition, we were able to get an excellent result for the client.

We represented a lovely elderly woman who was rear ended in a very significant automobile accident. As a result of the accident, she suffered protruded and herniated discs in her neck which, after a course of conservative treatment – including physical therapy and epidural/facet injections – necessitated a two level cervical fusion. Despite her having neck problems just days before the accident and the defense claiming her neck injuries were because of her old age and not the accident, Mr. Wiseman was able to resolve the case during litigation for an impressive $575.000.00. The client was thrilled with the result and very grateful.

Our client died after mysteriously falling late at night from unknown causes. After conducting discovery and taking depositions of all the key nurses and CNAs, it was discovered that none of the care plan fall interventions were in place and as result our client fell. This was a very sad case. The Wiseman Law Firm was able to uncover the truth and hold the nursing home accountable.

Mr. Wiseman represented a middle aged man who suffered a herniated disk in his neck after being crushed at a rock concert. Mr. Wiseman’s client brought a claim against the rock concert venue. The insurance company for the rock concert venue chose not to provide a defense to its insured. The concert venue then agreed a settlement at mediation with Mr. Wiseman’s client and assigned to him their claims against the insurance company for refusing to defend them. Ultimately, his client sued the insurance company for refusing to defend him and the insurance agency where the insurance was procured, and was able to successfully resolve the case for $500,000.

Mr. Wiseman’s client suffered a significant low back injury as a result of being struck in his tractor trailer by another tractor trailer. Mr. Wiseman was able to demonstrate that the tractor trailer that caused the accident was being driven by an illegal immigrant who should not have been driving. Additionally, Mr. Wiseman was able to demonstrate that the motor carrier, who the driver was employed by, had committed multiple violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (FMCSA) in employing the drive and placing him on the road as a truck driver.

As a result, Mr. Wiseman was able to get his client an excellent result for the type of injury sustained. The FMCSA can be a great weapon in truck accident cases but you must choose a lawyer experienced in these types of cases. Mr. Wiseman has that experience and would be privileged to help you.

Our client slipped and fell at the mall.  She sustained an injury to her lower back.  The Defendant knew where our client fell was a slippery surface when wet and did not put out wet floor signs as it was required.  The case settled just before trial.  This was a case our law firm took over from another law firm after the mall refused to pay any money.  Needless to say our client was ecstatic with the result.

Our client slipped and fell on the slippery floor of a store. As a result, she had a finger and knee injury. The store refused to pay anything so the Wiseman Law Firm had to file a lawsuit. After aggressive discovery and just before trial, despite the store blaming our client for slipping and falling and claiming her injuries pre-existed her fall, the store paid a significant amount of money to settle. Our client was very happy with our tenaciousness and the fact we never gave up.

Our client was side wiped in an accident. The defendant driver that side swiped him claimed that it was our client’s fault. We were able to prove from the physical damage to our client’s vehicle and overhead photos of the accident scene that it was impossible for the accident to have occurred as the defendant driver claimed. As a result of the accident, our client sustained a significant shoulder injury which required surgery. We were able to resolve the case weeks before going to trial. The client was very happy with the resolution.

A local pharmacy miss-filled our client’s prescription which caused him severe injuries. Our client’s case was successfully resolved for $350,000.00 weeks before trial was due to commence.

Mr. Wiseman represented an elderly nursing home resident who fell while a resident at the home and tragically died several months later. The nursing home only had minimum insurance, however, Mr. Wiseman was able to obtain a settlement of $350,000, well in excess of the minimal policy limits.

Our client tripped and fell on a floor because of a construction defect. She sustained a head injury from the fall. After a lawsuit was filed, we discovered that this was not the first time someone had fallen in the same area. Ultimately, the insurance companies for the Defendants settled. Our client was very pleased with our aggressive approach to litigation and being able to squeeze every penny from all responsible parties.

Our client was involved in two car accidents within months of each other and neither were her fault. She suffered neck and low back injuries as a result. The insurance companies for the at fault drivers in both accidents were pointing the fingers at each other and my client. The insurance companies would not pay to settle the case so we had to file a lawsuit and included both accidents under Florida’s indivisible injury rule. After lengthy litigation and just before trial, we were able to resolve our client’s claims for far more than what she would have settled for before a lawsuit was filed. She was very happy with the result.

This was as strange case where the driver of the at fault vehicle fell unconscious (due to a medical condition) at the time he struck the rear of our client’s vehicle. Despite Florida law, in certain circumstances, providing a complete defense to driver’s who have an isolated black out related to a medical condition, we were able to overcome that hurdle and obtain an excellent result for our client who suffered neck injury which required surgery several years after the accident.

Our client was involved in a relatively minor rear end accident. Unfortunately he had a preexisting neck injury which made him more susceptible to an aggravation of his preexisting neck injury. As a result of the rear end collision he needed neck surgery. Although his pre-existing injury made the case more difficult, Mr. Wiseman was still able to resolve his case just before trial for over three times his medical expenses.
