Case Results

Mr. Tehrani and the Tehrani Law Group for obtained a $100,000 policy limit settlement for a 10 year old girl who was attacked by a german shepherd in a playground while she was playing with her cousin. The dog bit the minor on her face, arms and legs during the attack, requiring her to get stitches on several parts of her body.  One of the bites was so severe and traumatic that it exposed the minor’s subcutaneous tissue.  Mr. Tehrani hired a local renowned plastic surgeon to perform a scar evaluation surgery on the minor and to opine as to the reasonable likelihood of future scar revision surgery.  With that report, Mr. Tehrani was able to secure the policy limits settlement despite the minor only incurring $12,000 in medical bills.

Chalk another one up for the good guys!

This client was involved in a minor fender bender with another vehicle, and he had pulled over to call emergency dispatch. A police officer arrived and his cruiser struck Mr. Tehrani’s client as he was waiting behind his own disabled vehicle. Mr. Tehrani’s client sustained damage to his back and knees as a result of the accident. While Mr. Tehrani’s client did not sustain any permanent injuries, he did have to seek medical treatment and undergo physical therapy for almost a full year, thus increasing the pain and suffering element of the award.

May 2024: Our client was a 2 year boy who was bit by a pitbull on his leg. He sustained two lacerations in the area where he was bit that had to be sutured at the ER. After our client’s wounds healed, he was evaluated by a plastic surgeon for possible scar revision surgery. The plastic surgeon opined that his scars were permanent, and he would require $10,000 in future scar revision surgery. The homeowner’s policy limits were $300,000 and we were able to secure the entire policy for our 2 year client.

December 2021: Obtained a $285,000 verdict for a client who was struck by a motor vehicle in the crosswalk. Client initially fractured her wrist as a result of the accident, and then she developed bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and thoracic outlet syndrome in her left shoulder. Defense attorneys fought us on liability arguing that our client was outside the crosswalk, and that she never even got hit by a car. They also argued all of our client’s injuries were pre-existing and that she was not as injured as she claimed to be. Client’s total medical bills were only $22,000. Last offer prior to trial was $100,000, and we decided it to reject it and take our chances at trial. Despite all the difficulties we faced with this case, after 3 days of trial, we managed to secure a $285,000 verdict for our client.

November 2021: Client was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident in April of 2019 when she was struck by another vehicle who ran its red light in an intersection. Client sustained head, neck and back injuries as a result of the accident, and after 1 year of treatment, her injuries resolved. The at fault driver only had a $30,000 policy, and State Farm refused to settle the case for the at fault driver’s policy limits despite our demands. We ended up filing suit, and shortly after our client was deposed, and I wrote State Farm a demand letter demanding the policy limits, or risk having their insured hit with an excess verdict, State Farm finally offered the full policy limits of $30,000 to settle the case.

August 2021: Represented husband and wife who were rear ended on the highway by another car and driven off the road.

Erie insurance who insured the at fault driver, fought us on the cause of the right shoulder injury, but after intense back and forth spanning 4 month, we managed to convince Erie that the right rotator cuff injury was related to the accident. Client incurred $30,000 in medical bills and we managed to settle her case for $95,000.

He was treated for 2 month and racked up $6,000 in medical bills with an orthopedic doctor and a physical therapist. GEICO, who insured the at-fault driver, offered $0 pre-trial because our client’s car had no body damage. We ended up going to trial and we secured a $15,300 verdict.

February of 2024, Client slipped and fell on a wet floor at her place of employment.  During pre-trial preparation, it was discovered that the commercial cleaning company’s employee failed to place a “wet floor” pylon on the floor after it mopped.  Consequently, the client slipped on the floor not knowing it was wet.   Client fell forward on her hands and knees, and she sustained a pinched spinal cord in cervical spine.  She had to undergo a three level cervical fusion.  The case settled at $450,000 after multiple rounds of mediation.

December of 2022, Client was the driver of a vehicle that was t-boned in an intersection by another driver who failed to stop at a stop sign.  After many months of physical therapy, orthopedic visits, and pain management, the client’s lower back pain did not resolve.  The client ultimately underwent an MRI of his lower back which showed a significant lower back disc injury that would ultimately require surgery.

January of 2023, client was rear ended at a red light by another vehicle. The accident was so severe that it caused the client’s stereo head unit to pop out of the center console. The client sustained a serious lower back injury as a result of the incident, and he was an immediate candidate for lower back surgery. Client also was unable to continue working as a public school teacher so he ultimately had to retire early. This case settled for the at fault driver’s policy limits of $100,000, and the client’s underinsured policy limits of $150,000. Attorney Tehrani also managed to reduce client’s medicare lien by almost $25,000 so the client was able to recover this money as well.

October of 2023 – Client was struck by another vehicle that turned left in front of her. Client sustained head, neck and back injuries, as well as trauma from the accident. Client’s medical bills totaled $11,000, and Allstate only made a settlement offer of $17,000 citing the client’s low medical bills and “quick recovery”. Mr.Tehrani filed suit and forced the case into arbitration so his client to get a speedy hearing. After hearing the evidence, and listening to Mr. Tehrani’s client’s testimony regarding the mental trauma she continued to endure as a result of the accident, the arbitrator awarded $43,000, or nearly 4 times the client’s medical bills.

January 2024 – Client was stopped at a red light when eh was struck by a drunk driver.  The client sustained injuries to his head, neck and back.  Mr. Tehrani’s client was a traveling nurse, so it was very difficult for him to medically treat for his injuries, and maintain a consistent continuity of care.  Despite this, Mr. Tehrani was able to leverage the fact that the at fault driver was drunk at the time of the accident to leverage a $100,000 settlement on his client’s behalf.
