Real Examples of Real Success

Many law firms will tell you that they can get you the most possible money for your injuries, but cannot or will not show you past results achieved for their clients. As you can see from the below cases, the attorneys at The Bezou Law Firm have a proven record of success that speaks for itself.

Thibodeaux v. Fidel Sendra, M.D.

Medical malpractice settlement

Joseph Thibodeaux underwent open heart surgery and developed sepsis as a result of a surgical sponge having been left in his chest. He suffered and lingered for 2 years and 7 months before succumbing to infection. The case settled for $4.3 million dollars after a favorable ruling on a motion for summary judgment on liability.

Williams v. Maritime Overseas Corporation

Jones Act, personal injury, jury verdict

Jerome Williams, while operating as a bosun on a blue water ship, was subjected to chemical burns of his hands and forearm while at sea. Maritime Overseas Corporation took the position that the incident did not occur and refused to pay anything in settlement to Mr. Williams. After a jury trial, the jury awarded $2 million and eventually paid $2.3 million after exhausting appeals.
