Bob Burke was a legendary coach inducted into the basketball hall of fame. His wife, Jane, is a long-time public-school principal. In short, they are wonderful folks with two great kids.
One night, Bob had an awful trip and fall in a poorly lit parking lot in downtown Charleston. Bob and Jane hired us to help them as Bob had huge medical bills and permanent injuries as a result of his fall. We hired a lighting expert and were able to determine the commercial parking lot was darker the night of Bob’s fall than a darkened movie theatre. It violated every known industry standard and was a dangerous place.
Our team hired the necessary medical experts, prepared the case for trial, and was awarded a record verdict of $4,000,000. It is believed to be the largest trip and fall verdict in Charleston County.
