CLIENT VICTORIES

Clients were involved in a car crash caused by United States Postal Service Driver. Mr. and Mrs. Bosnoyan sustained injuries, including a fractured sternum, fractured ribs and soft tissue strains/sprains, when the USPS driver, who was intoxicated, struck the clients’ car in the course of running a red light. The matter resolved pre-litigation pursuant to the United States Federal Tort Claims Act.

Mr. Doe visited an Adult Entertainment Club where they served him copious amounts of alcohol. He became intoxicated. Mr. Doe got into an altercation with another patron. A club employee, who lacked the requisite training to deal with an unruly patron, jumped on Mr. Doe, causing him a serious leg injury. Heinrich Law hired a security expert who helped prove the club should be held at least partially responsible for the patron’s injuries, having used excessive force to apprehend him.
