Walnut Creek, California – Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, a leading personal injury law firm, is proud to announce that one of our cases, Wilson, et al. v. City of Martinez, has earned a spot in the Top 50 Personal Injury Verdicts in California for 2024. The case, which resulted in a verdict of $8,165,042, ranks as #27 in personal injury verdicts in the state. 

The lawsuit, involving a dangerous condition of public property, was brought against the City of Martinez, stemming from an incident where multiple people were injured when a large tree fell on them. The plaintiffs, who suffered significant bodily injuries, including bone fractures and spinal injuries, successfully argued that the City failed to maintain a safe environment, leading to hazardous conditions that caused the accident. 

This significant victory was achieved through the efforts of Adam M. Carlson, a partner at Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, and Megan T. Burns of Mirador Law APC. Together, they secured justice for their clients in a case against a public entity, which involved complex personal injury claims. 

“We are honored to have been part of such a monumental case,” said Adam M. Carlson, Partner at Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook. “This verdict not only delivers much-needed compensation to the plaintiffs but also holds the City of Martinez accountable for failing to maintain public safety.”

This verdict represents a powerful reminder of the impact that diligent legal work can have on holding entities accountable and securing justice for victims of negligence. To learn more about Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, visit our website at: https://www.cmslaw.com/.
