In 2005, partner and spinal cord injury lawyer Robert Francavilla resolved a case of a serious accident which resulted in paraplegia to his client. The judgment was $13.5 million, the largest personal injury settlement in San Diego history. The defendants challenged liability, asserting that our client had caused the accident. Mr. Francavilla took depositions that clearly established the defendants’ responsibility, allowing us to seek a full recovery for our client. A life-care planner helped Mr. Francavilla anticipate our client’s needs, including his future medical care, what he would need to support himself, and the type of assistance he would need at his home. After extensive litigation, Mr. Francavilla was able to achieve this for this extremely deserving client.
