In an Alachua County case, our client suffered 3rd degree burns over her arms and legs after a gas line she was working near exploded. Preliminary investigation by the gas utility company and the Public Service Commission placed blame on our client for burning a hole through a gas line with her hand-held torch. Believing this was not the case, attorney Robert M. Roselli designed a legal strategy which involved hiring a team of top fire and safety experts to analyze the explosion and perform laboratory re-enactments which proved our client was not at fault. Damages were bolstered by obtaining video of skin graft surgeries performed by the burn specialist and hiring top experts in the field of life care planning, specifically for burn victims. The case was settled before trial for over two million dollars.
"This substantial settlement in excess of $2 million was the culmination of relentless and creative litigation on the part of plaintiff's counsel."

A Florida woman filed suit against Vail Resorts, Heavenly Valley and a Heavenly Mountain Resort employee this week after being injured during a ski collision with the employee at the resort in January.
The construction site for a local Laundromat was the site of a serious injury to 19-year-old Ruth Ann J., who was working as a day laborer to earn money while looking for a full time job. She and friends were hired by sub-contractors to work on the roof. While walking on the roof, she unknowingly backed up and fell through a opening and to the concrete floor below, suffering serious injuries. Attorney Robert M. Roselli was retained and a lawsuit filed against the contractor and subcontractors involved. Ultimately, a significant confidential settlement was obtained for the young lady.
Christine B., a 57 year old school teacher was rendered a quadriplegic and ultimately died after nearly two (2) years and over $1 million in medical bills. She contracted Listeriosis from eating contaminated hot dogs and lunchmeats processed and sold by a large supermarket chain. Unlike other pathogens, listeria monocytogenes [LM] may not manifest symptoms for several weeks leading to a delayed diagnosis, long after the food product and packaging are gone. For that reason, LM cases are complex and costly, requiring complex expert analysis of the DNA (serotype) of the pathogen and the eating and shopping habits of the victim to establish the causal connection between the illness and the food product. Contentious litigation and discovery revealed that the processing plant had an alarming history of product contamination that was ignored by management so as to avoid a massive recall. The plant shipped over 1.7 million pounds of product to its supermarkets during this time and it was only after the lab tipped off the USDA that a massive recall was initiated. By then it was too late for Christine and the bacteria attacked and destroyed her cervical spinal cord. Christine was survived by three adult daughters who continue to be haunted by the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness while watching their mother suffer the nightmare of horrors of quadriplegia until she died. After over four years of litigation the case was settled for a substantial confidential sum.
