Representative cases

In 2005, San Diego spinal injury attorney Robert Francavilla, a partner in the firm, resolved a case of a serious accident which resulted in paraplegia to his client. Francavilla consulted with a life-care planner to anticipate our client's needs, what he would need to support himself, including his future medical care, and the type of assistance he would need at his home. He was awarded $13.5 million, the largest personal injury settlement in San Diego history. The defendants challenged liability, asserting that our client caused the accident. Francavilla took depositions that clearly established the defendants' responsibility, then undertook the extensive litigation necessary to seek a full recovery and a substantial settlement for this extremely deserving client.
