Recently, Julie has settled many cases for substantial amounts, including the following:

• A case against a trucking company whose driver was traveling at an excessive speed, causing a collision so horrific that it tore the car in half, killing the driver and its passenger;
• A case involving a permanent injury to a construction worker who fell in a hole (leading to a 21 foot concrete shaft) which had no warning and no secure cover;
• A case against a beer company in a wrongful death action when its driver negligently ran over a 5 year old boy on a bicycle after making a delivery at a convenience store;
• A case in Tennessee against a day care owner for negligent supervision of an 18 month old child which led to the child's death after she was left unattended in a highchair. A forensic medical expert confirmed that the child suffocated after becoming stuck between the tray and the highchair.
