In 2006, this 38 year old gentleman was a pedestrian when a car lost control as a result of a defective brake and accelerator. He was struck in the pelvis, causing severe fractures. Fortunately, there was no brain injury or paralysis, but the gentleman is forced to be in a wheelchair most of the time. Hopefully, he will return to work after additional surgery which will be covered by health insurance.
Total Settlement for the loss of 2 children: 4.5 Million Dollars

The family of the child was awarded 3 Million Dollars.
Total Settlement for Gas Explosion: 3 Million Dollars
A 60 year old woman was killed and a 38 year old man burned over 25% of his body as a result of a gas fire explosion. Mr. Troutman was able to establish that the gas company failed to monitor the system and check for uncapped valves when they came out for out of gas calls. Notwithstanding significant arguments of comparative negligence on the part of the employer who had workers compensation immunity, Mr. Troutman was able to obtain an award for his clients in the amount of 3 Million Dollars.
Total settlement for 58-year-old motorcyclist struck by rental car: $2,250,000
In 2003, a 58-year-old man was driving a 1988 Harley when a car (a rental driven by an English tourist) made a sudden left turn in front of him, making an accident completely unavoidable. The motorcyclist showed evidence of substantial injury at the scene and was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where he suffered a stroke a few days later. The stroke caused brain damage, from which the driver made a surprisingly good recovery. Mr. Troutman was able to recover $1,000,000 in policy limits from the tourist and an additional $1,250,000 in uninsured motorist coverage for a total of $2,250,000.

Total Settlement for a police officer shot in the line of duty: 1 Million Dollars (policy limits)
1 Million Dollar Settlement, the policy limits, for police officer shot in the line of duty. In 2005, a police officer was shot by a drug suspect. Mr. Troutman was able to establish that because of significant drug dealing on the premises of the gas station, the owner was on notice and failed to take reasonable precautions. The officer was partially paralyzed and obtained the policy limits of 1 Million Dollars. This was a very difficult case where a good result was obtained because of substantial background investigation into criminal activity on the premises.
Total settlement for motorcyclist struck by automobile: $750,000
In 2006, Mr. Troutman's client was on a motorcycle without a helmet. A car turned left in front of him and he sustained a mild head injury. As a result, he suffered loss of taste and smell, but otherwise made a good recovery. Mr. Troutman was able to obtain a settlement of $750,000 for these injuries, but it was difficult because the motorcycle driver was not wearing a helmet which is admissible in court in the State of Florida at the present time.
In addition to these settlements and verdicts, Mr. Troutman has obtained jury verdicts against many insurance companies and manufacturers who failed to provide a reasonable settlement offer. There have been additional substantial results in cases involving automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, premises liability, nursing home abuse, dog bites, slip and fall, and other areas of negligence.
