Wrongful Death Case Results

Our law firm represented the surviving family members of a doctor who passed away tragically after receiving a fatal dose of a central nervous system depressant in a recreational setting. Despite the insurance company’s zero offer to settle pre-litigation, we secured a substantial recovery of $4.6 million for our clients.

Runion Personal Injury Lawyers secured $1,000,000 for the family of a young client tragically killed in a collision with a driver who had been overserved alcohol at a local restaurant near 44th St & Camelback Rd in Phoenix. The at-fault driver’s blood alcohol concentration exceeded 0.20. Our firm conducted an extensive investigation, obtaining surveillance footage, witness statements, and electronic evidence that established the restaurant’s role in overserving the driver. Initially, the insurance carrier denied coverage due to alleged exclusions, but reversed its position following our involvement. The case resolved for $1,000,000.

Our firm represented the estate and surviving spouse of a woman who tragically lost her life due to home care negligence in Mesa (Baseline Rd & 48th St). The woman’s home health aide, who was not a licensed Arizona healthcare provider, failed to use a gait belt while assisting her from a seated position to bed. On multiple occasions, the aide neglected basic safety practices, and during one transfer, was unable to support the client’s weight, causing her to fall and sustain a hip fracture. Complications from the resulting surgery ultimately led to her death. Our firm pursued the non-medical care company for negligence, securing a $400,000 recovery.
