$87K Confidential Settlement For Baby Burned By Hot Coffee

Brian Elston Law won a $87,500 settlement for the family of a baby burned by a restaurant’s coffee. The defense blamed inattentive parents. Brian Elston Law was able to prove the restaurant had no protocol for serving hot beverages, nor for emergency medical situations involving customers. Brian Elston Law hopes this result makes other restaurants more careful serving hot liquid around babies and young children.

“I tried a few other lawyers and they didn’t have the experience in my case. So another lawyer recommended Brian Elston Law to me. He was ready and wiling to help me out in my situation. So professional and stayed on task. So very easy to communicate with they all have such great personalities and stay positive.”

$625K Confidential Settlement For Lunch Break That Becomes Ankle Break

A loyal, high-ranking employee retrieves lunch from his car, then breaks his ankle on the stairs returning to his desk. He waits for the workday to end before going to the ER. He’s initially told his workers’ compensation claim will cover expenses.

Two surgeries later, the claim is denied. Meanwhile, the employee is fired. At trial, the case loses, but Brian Elston Law appeals. The client’s rather complicated medical condition worsens and he dies. Undaunted, Brian Elston Law returns to trial where he works successfully to have the first decision overturned. It is decided that, yes, the client was injured at work. Family is awarded $625,000.

$175K Confidential Settlement For Life Shortened By Injury

After caring for her brain-injured husband for years, a wife gets hit with $18,000 in medical bills for his hospitalization just before death.

Brian Elston Law finds a doctor who confirms yes, his brain injury is what cut his life short. A day before going to court, the case is settled for the amount of the man’s death benefits: $175,000.

They represented me so well and achieved the best possible outcome.”
