TRUCK ACCIDENT $1,200,000.00 for a single forty-five year old man who sustained an L5-S1 disc herniation in a tractor trailer accident. Plaintiff alleged that the defendant was speeding, was following too closely and was not paying proper attention to traffic conditions.

PRODUCT LIABILITY $3,800,000.00 in tandem with local counsel in a case involving a car accident victim who sustained a spinal cord injury after being ejected from his vehicle as a result of allegedly defective equipment.

CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCIDENT $1,500,000.00 in a construction site accident resulting in mild brain injury and a herniated disc in the plaintiff's lower back.

CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCIDENT $700,000.00 for a man whose truck tipped over at a worksite with no apparent injury other than minor bumps and bruises.

AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT $730,000.00 for a victim of a "low-impact" automobile accident that initially appeared to involve only "soft-tissue" injuries. This substantial recovery was attained only after Sheff Law Offices, through family testimony, medical records and numerous meetings with the client revealed previously undiagnosed symptoms of a closed head injury. The case was highly publicized as illustrative of the deceptive nature of traumatic brain injury and was proclaimed as the standard of investigation which attorneys should employ to handle such injuries.
