Ganz & Hauf Has Achieved Over $26 MILLION DOLLARS in Settlements and Verdicts for its Clients in Just Five Years!
Below are Some of the Highlights:
Berry v. Elazar
Judgment Obtained Against Brother of Famous Professional
Poker Player
The firm has recently obtained, after five years
of litigation and a seven day jury trial, a
judgment for a client against the brother of
professional poker player Eli Elezra.
Besides poker, Eli Elezra is "a
multi-million dollar businessperson with several
successful ventures on the Las Vegas strip".
See link here. His brother, Moshe Elazar, negligently
turned in front of our client, while attempting
to cut a corner, and hit our client nearly
head-on.
Besides multiple
abrasions and a facial fracture, our client
later underwent years of treatment for his neck
and back injuries, and has not been able to work
or support his family since this accident.
Unfortunately, the Defendant, as is all
too often the case, did not have enough
insurance coverage to compensate our client for
this loss.
Even worse, in
this case, the Defendant, while having many
business ties to his brother's businesses, has
taken extraordinary steps to elude taking
responsibility for this loss.
While the firm is content with the judgment, we
will not be satisfied until our client obtains
financial stability and the Defendant pays the
judgment against him. As
discussed later in this Newsletter, NEVER assume
the person who hits you has enough insurance to
cover your injuries; always make sure to have
enough of your own insurance to cover yourself.
If you need an analysis of your
uninsured or underinsured coverage, call our
office for a free consultation.
Centeno v. Coe
Over $2,000,00 Judgment Obtained from Jury Award
After nearly five years in litigation, Ganz & Hauf
obtained a favorable verdict for it's client on October 14, 2010 following a two week jury trial. The case was tried for the first time by a jury in
August, 2007, however, due to a reversible error that occurred during the
trial, the Nevada Supreme Court recently affirmed the granting of a new
trial.
Robert Vannah, Esq., and John Greene, Esq., of the law
offices of Vannah & Vannah, were brought in by Ganz & Hauf as co-counsel for
the Plaintiff, and assisted in litigating the case in preparation for the
second, most recent, trial. The two firms are proud of the ultimate outcome
which resulted in a judgment, which is currently in excess of $2,000,000.
The client will finally receive compensation for his injuries and
some financial stability for his future.
Lindsey v. Dixon
Client Receives $1,765,000 Settlement
After a challenging two week jury trial, Ganz & Hauf has obtained a settlement for one of its clients that will provide her comfort and supportive care for the rest of her life.
The firm recently settled the matter, just before closing arguments, and after two weeks in trial, insuring that the client will have enough money for future needs as well as financial stability.
The majority of cases do not go to trial, but sometimes it is inevitable. The firm believes in the principle that a case should only go to trial when insurance companies refuse to take responsibility and compensate injured people fairly.
This particular settlement was obtained from two different sources for over $1,000,000 above the Defendants' insurance policy limits.
Often times, insurance companies take it upon themselves to deny claims, thereby, allowing Ganz & Hauf to exceed the offending parties' policy limits of insurance.
Ganz & Hauf has settled millions of dollars in claims that have exceeded insurance policy limits.
While this case is not representative of everyone's case, and each case needs to be valued separately and distinctly, understand that the firm is here to insure that their clients get the maximum value for their claims.
Metta v. Rinker
In September, 2006, Ganz & Hauf, in conjunction with Vannah & Vannah, obtained a $5,000,000 settlement at mediation for a client who was severely injured when a 18-wheeler pulled out in front of him on the highway.
Gentry v. Walmart
In March, 2006, following a four day trial, Ganz & Hauf obtained a jury verdict of $708,446 on behalf of a client injured while shopping at Walmart, when she was struck by a pallet of boxes pushed into her by a Walmart employee.
Long v. Reller
Ganz & Hauf, in conjunction with the law firm of Vannah & Vannah, obtained a jury verdict on behalf of their client in the amount of $3,596,331.76, in July, 2006.
The client was injured when a vehicle blew a red light, causing him to t-bone the vehicle.
Taylor v. Western States Contracting
In January, 2008, Ganz & Hauf obtained a $2,500,000 settlement for their client, who was injured when her vehicle was hit and dragged by a semi-tuck.
Sparta v. Ascuncion
Ganz & Hauf was retained in May, 2009 as trial counsel for this client. With the trial just two weeks away, Ganz & Hauf was able to prepare and win a jury verdict of $318,125.54 for the client, who had been injured in a car accident.
Hubert v. Century National
In this August, 2010, insurance bad faith case, this Ganz & Hauf client obtained a total settlement of $915,000 from multiple sources. The client was injured in a motor vehicle accident, and quickly settled with the person that caused the accident. He then made a claim against his underinsured motorist carriers, who refused to fairly evaluate his serious injuries, or pay his claim.
Other notable results:
November, 2008 - $900,000 settlement in a confidential insurance bad faith case
December, 2007 – Mariscal v. Perez, $500,000 settlement for a motor vehicle crash where the defendant failed to yield before making a left turn.
November, 2008 – Stansfield-Paquette v. Kasimoff, $500,000 pre-litigation settlement for a client injured in a rear-end motor vehicle accident.
July, 2010 – Kennedy v. Capicchioni, $500,000 pre-litigation settlement for a motorcycle crash.
