Case Results

Man paralyzed due to condominium's negligence. Jon Levy represented a gentleman that went to visit friends at a condominium complex on the Intracoastal Waterway. The gentleman was with one other man and two women when they wanted to go for a late night dip in the condominium's pool. When they go to the pool area, it was locked and signs prevented them from using the pool after hours However, just a few feet away from the pool area was a dock that went into the Intracoastal Waterway. The tragedy occurred when the gentleman did not notice that the water was only a few inches deep when he dove off the dock. The injury caused paralysis from the neck down for this 27-year-old man. Jonathan pursued a recovery against the condominium complex for their failure to have adequate warnings informing residents and their guests to not dive off the dock. In this very unfortunate event, Jonathan was able to secure financial security for his client to obtain all the necessary medical care and financial means to live as full a life as possible for the future.

On what appeared to be a normal "wind down" of the day out in the sugar fields of Palm Beach County, Jonathan's client was driving his truck on the unpaved roads of his job site. A large sugar hauling vehicle was traveling in the opposite direction when a "white out" from the dirt road caused that driver to lose his ability to see Mr. Levy's client's vehicle approaching. The cane hauler crossed over the median and caused a head on collision that instantly killed the truck driver. Jonathan pursued the wrongful death claim for the widow, and was successful in achieving this result to bring a semblance of comfort to the widow after this senseless tragedy.

Road crew worker permanently disabled as a result of trucker's negligence. Mr. Levy's client was working on the Florida turnpike in Palm Beach County attempting to fix a guard rail. As he and his co-worker were loading their vehicle to end work for the day, another truck driver failed to pay attention and collided with the two work men. Both clients were considerably hurt in the incident, and one of them sustained career ending neck injury at the young age of 45 years old. Atty. Levy sought to get the man compensation for his medical care and treatment, loss of ability to earn money in the future, and his significant pain and suffering from the accident. Ultimately, Attorney Levy prevailed achieving this settlement so his client and his family would be financially secure for their future.

Slip and fall at client's apartment complex. At an apartment complex where the client lived, a construction crew left debris on the landing of the front door of our client's unit. The client endured a horrible fall, and had a serious back injury slipping on this debris. After several back surgeries and being left unable to work full time for the rest of her life, Jonathan and his client filed a lawsuit against the complex and construction company. After several years of fighting the parties and their insurance carriers, a settlement was reached just before an approaching trial date.

Verdict after 3 day trial for victim on an uninsured motorist. Jonathan's client was traveling on I-95 going home after a days' work. A negligent driver rear-ended the client and attempt to flee the scene. Although the injured client was able to "flag" down the driver, it was later discovered he had no liability insurance to provide money for the client's lost wages, medical care and pain and suffering. Jonathan pursued a recovery under the client's uninsured motorist carrier who would not pay the $100,000 available policy limits. After a 3 day trial in Palm Beach County, Jonathan obtained a verdict slightly over $400,000. Jonathan further pursued recovering the money above the policy limits in a bad faith claim after the initial trial. Ultimately, Jonathan persuaded the insurance company to pay the entire amount of the verdict, as well as attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in pursuing these claims.
