  • Lance D. Cline tried this lawsuit to a jury in a conservative, northern Indiana county in 2018. The sixty-five-year-old plaintiff had a history of multiple dislocations in his left shoulder between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five that led to the performance of a Magnuson-Stack procedure upon his left shoulder at the age of twenty-five that prevented further dislocations.

  • Lance Cline presented expert witness testimony from two board-certified obstetricians and a biomechanical engineer with expertise and knowledge regarding physician-applied forces during child delivery. The Defendant made no offer of settlement before the trial. The jury deliberated for ninety minutes before ignoring the medical review panel opinion and returning a verdict in favor of the client in the amount of $1,285,000. That was a record verdict in the county where the case was tried.

What to Do After an Accident

Whether you have been injured in a car accident or as a result of a defective product, the most important thing to do after an accident is to seek medical attention. Calling 911 can ensure that you will be promptly evaluated and safely transported to the hospital via ambulance. Police who respond to the scene can file a report, including a crash report if it was a motor vehicle accident, which can later be used as evidence on your behalf.

Collecting as much information and documentation as possible about the events that caused your injury is crucial. Our attorneys can manage the investigation process as soon as you hire us. We know how to gather necessary information from witnesses, medical records, and crash reports, if applicable. We also manage communication with insurance companies so you do not have to worry about saying anything that can be used against you.
