Significant Matters

Below are matters chosen by the firm to highlight.

We have successfully represented those who have been seriously injured in a variety of situations.

$16.5 Million Settlement against Trucking Company

When a diesel fuel tank fell from a truck and spilled onto Interstate 95, our client pulled his vehicle over on the shoulder. The driver of an oncoming vehicle lost control after hitting the fuel slick and struck him. Our client suffered a traumatic brain injury, which led to amnesia. After multiple surgeries and therapies, he was declared disabled in terms of employment and not medically cleared to drive. Gay & Chacker obtained $16.5 million from the insurance companies of the two defendants, a produce wholesaler and a trailer repair company, whose negligence had led to the fuel tank spill.

$11.9 Million Verdict for Family of Suicide Victim

A federal jury ordered a health care provider to pay $11.9 million to the family of a man who committed suicide as an inmate in Monroe County Correctional Facility. The lawsuit claimed that medical staff failed to evaluate the inmate’s risk for suicide and need for antidepressants. Our client, the man’s wife, had sought $800,000 to settle before trial but was rejected by the defendants. Gay & Chacker obtained a verdict nearly 15 times the initial settlement demand. The $11.9 million award included $8 million in punitive damages, which was reversed by judgment notwithstanding verdict (JNOV). We appealed this decision to the Third Circuit, which reversed the District Court Judge’s decision, ordering the defendant to pay the $8 million and denying the defendant’s order for a new trial.

$4.5 Million Settlement for Estate of Elderly Man

Our firm obtained a $4.5 million settlement for the estate of a 91-year-old who was run over by a truck in Philadelphia. His injuries required a leg amputation, which ultimately led to his death.
