Notable results
When a demolition project at 22nd and Market Streets sent a four-story brick wall crashing through a Salvation Army thrift store in June 2013, seven people were killed; after nearly six months of civil trial, the defendants settled for $227 million, the largest personal-injury settlement in Pennsylvania history.
A Philadelphia jury returned a $45 million verdict in favor of Tamara Breeden, a mentally disabled woman who was confined, abused, and robbed of her Social Security benefits for more than a decade by Linda Ann Weston and two associates.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is unique and depends on its own facts.
