Highway design and maintenance have improved in recent years – perhaps in part because we have held government entities responsible for losses suffered by our clients.

We work closely with nationally recognized experts in highway maintenance and design. Their insight has helped us achieve justice for clients through a long record of multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements.



Julie Ann Greene v. Pierce County

$5.47 million verdict

Plaintiff’s counsel: Keith L. Kessler, Paul L. Stritmatter

Pierce County failed to have a stop sign at a railroad crossing, and the drivers’ visibility was obstructed by trees and buildings. The result: a collision between an oncoming train and a car crossing the tracks. The car’s driver was killed and the passenger suffered a brain injury and was blinded. The 1994 decision was the second-largest personal injury jury verdict in Pierce County history.
