Sweet James Secures Largest Verdict in Kings County History: $17.5 Million Jury Verdict for Injured Accident Victims in Hanford, California
Hanford, California – Sweet James Accident Attorneys has secured a historic $17.5 Million jury verdict, the largest in Kings County history, on behalf of two injured accident victims. This monumental decision highlights the firm’s commitment to achieving justice for those affected by serious accidents and reinforces the critical importance of professional legal representation after life-altering events.
The case involved a severe collision in which a City of Hanford tree-trimming truck, traveling at 51 miles per hour, ran a stop sign and struck the plaintiffs’ vehicle. As a result of the crash, the victims sustained significant orthopedic injuries and traumatic brain injuries.
Despite the defense’s refusal to offer more than $7.65 Million before trial—citing the lack of significant verdicts in Kings County since 2010—Sweet James remained unwavering in their dedication to securing justice for their clients. Through expert litigation and relentless advocacy, Sweet James achieved the $17.5 million jury verdict, far exceeding the defense’s offer and setting a new precedent in the county.
“This verdict is a testament to the strength and resilience of our clients,” said Steve Mehr, Co-Founder and Partner at Sweet James. “Our firm is dedicated to fighting for justice, and this case underscores the importance of legal representation in ensuring accident victims receive the compensation they deserve. We are proud to have helped our clients secure this life-changing verdict.”
This victory serves as a reminder of the unexpected risks drivers face on the road and the critical need for legal support following serious accidents.
