Allen Allen Allen & Allen

A Hampton jury awarded Christopher Denton $25 million after a cardiologist read his cardiac test results as normal, diagnosed a minor heart infection, and sent him home on over-the-counter medication -- months before Denton suffered a massive heart attack that left him functioning with roughly half his cardiac capacity.

A $24 million settlement obtained for the family of a 33-year-old nurse killed when a commercial truck crossed the center line at highway speed is the largest reported wrongful death recovery in Virginia history, doubling the previous record.

A Richmond jury awarded $23 million to a commercial truck driver who suffered a traumatic brain injury, crushed pelvis, and right-leg amputation when a Moen Inc. tractor-trailer parked in the emergency lane of I-295 pulled back into traffic and was struck by his rig at highway speed.

Allen, Allen, Allen and Allen secured a $7.6 million settlement for a U.S. Army logistics officer who suffered life-threatening injuries after colliding with a disabled pickup truck that a tractor-trailer had left blocking Interstate 64 at 3:30 in the morning.

A Fredericksburg jury awarded $6.5 million to a young attorney left with permanent spinal cord damage after his primary care physician repeatedly dismissed neurological symptoms without examination, producing what was then reported as the largest medical malpractice verdict in Virginia history. The award was reduced to $1.55 million under the state damages cap, and the judgment was later reversed on an evidentiary ruling, sending the case back for a retrial on causation and damages.
