What You Need to Know
- When the Champion Firm first took the case on, the police report said their clients were at fault for crossing the road at a red light.
- However, the surviving client was adamant the light was green.
- After doing some digging, the plaintiff’s firm discovered a utility truck illegally blocking the crosswalk and settled for a $6M policy limit.
Imagine taking a trip to a foreign country when the unthinkable happens. There’s an accident. Someone close to you is dies. Then, you need to find a lawyer.
These facts set the stage for a $6 million settlement secured by the Champion Firm in the State Court of Gwinnett County. Darl Champion and co-counsel Andrienne McKay took on the case of a Chinese man visiting the country when his wife was hit by a car at a crosswalk.
