Oxman Goodstadt Kuritz, PC is proud to have won top verdicts for it's clients, but often times the ideal result for the client is to reach a settlement that provides the necessary compensation for the injury that was suffered, without the stress and uncertainty that comes with a trial. For this reason, the attorneys at OGK are equally proud when they can negotiate a beneficial settlement on behalf of their clients.

Date: March 1, 2012

Of the $12.88 million awarded to Phillips, nearly $3.02 million was for future pain, suffering and loss of life's pleasures. Nearly $697,000 was for past medical expenses, $28,659 was for past loss earnings, $483,000 was for past pain and suffering and $266,000 was for future loss of earnings.
