| Ms.
Martinez was a single mother of 4 young children. One day
at work, she was crossing the street and was struck down and
killed by a truck.
According
to the San Francisco District Attorney who investigated
the accident, Ms. Martinez was the the primary cause of
the accident. There were no witnesses to the accident other
than the defendant driver.
Our
law firm turned down a $800,000 offer made during a mediation.
One of San Francisco's most respected judges told our firm
that we would never get more than $800,000 and we were making
a "grave mistake" to reject such a large amount.
This
case settled prior to trial for $1.7 million dollars in
cash.
This case was reported in the San
Francisco Recorder.
