Case Success Stories
Brady’s commitment to his clients is at the forefront of his practice. He ensures they receive personalized attention, compassionate guidance, and unwavering advocacy. He takes the time to understand each client’s circumstances and crafts tailored legal strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes. Some of Brady’s recent successes include:
- Taco Bell Trip and Fall Verdict – $300,000 Won a unanimous $300,000 jury verdict against Taco Bell after our client tripped over a hazardous floor mat. We proved Taco Bell’s lack of safety protocols contributed to the fall, despite the defense’s efforts to minimize liability by blaming our client.
- House Fire Settlement – Over $800,000 Secured over $800,000 for a client injured in a house fire caused by the landlord’s failure to maintain and update the building’s smoke detectors.
- Low-Speed IDOT Truck Collision – Over $500,000 Obtained over $500,000 for a client injured in a collision with an IDOT truck moving under 5 MPH. We demonstrated that even low-speed impacts can cause serious, lasting injuries.
- Walmart Sidewalk Trip and Fall – $300,000 Achieved a $300,000 settlement after our client tripped over an unmarked sidewalk elevation change at Walmart, causing vision issues.
- Rear-End Collision Aggravating Pre-Existing Conditions – $297,000 Secured $297,000 for a client whose pre-existing conditions were aggravated by a low-speed rear-end crash. Strong medical evidence connected the collision to the need for surgery. Remember, pre-existing injuries do not preclude you from getting just compensation.
- Chain-Reaction Collision – $725,000 Recovered $725,000 after an at-fault driver ran a stop sign, causing a chain-reaction crash that severely impacted our client. We navigated complex liability to secure compensation.
- Pedestrian Hit by Car – $775,000 Obtained $775,000 for a minor with a hip injury after being hit while crossing the street outside a crosswalk.
- Low-Impact Rear-End Collision – $1,000,000 Secured $1 million for a client rear-ended in a low-impact collision. Despite minimal vehicle damage, we proved the crash caused significant, life-changing injuries.
- Client Rear-Ended Another Vehicle – Over $500,000 Achieved over $500,000 for a client who rear-ended another car. We successfully argued that despite being the trailing driver, other factors contributed to the crash and our client’s injuries
