Our firm handles matters involving personal injury, wrongful death, auto and trucking accidents, malpractice, products liability, criminal law, DWI, drugs, juvenile cases, white collar crimes, civil rights, probate litigation, and appeals. At Kuhn, Doyle & Kuhn, we strive for, and deliver, results for our clients. Here's a sampling of the latest:
INSURANCE DENIALS We successfully represented a widow who was denied payment of a life insurance benefit after her handicapped husband was killed in an automobile accident in Alaska. After extensive depositions of the company's officials in New York City, the case settled shortly before trial for many times the amount of the insurance policy.
NURSING HOME RESIDENTS Our attorneys have represented a number of nursing home residents with claims against facilities for injuries ranging from bedsores to death. The significant settlement amounts cannot be disclosed due to confidentiality agreements.
CAPITAL MURDER We successfully represented a citizen of Mexico who was charged in a rural Texas County with the murder of a police officer.
GRAND JURY MATTERS In addition to handling criminal jury trials, we represent individuals who are being investigated by law enforcement authorities or grand juries. The firm obtained immunity for a person investigated by the Whitewater team of the Independent Counsel's Office.
DEFECTIVE AUTOMOBILE DESIGN The firm has handled cases involving improper design of vehicles resulting in rollovers or inadequate crash worthiness, including representation of a family after the death of a child following a Jeep rollover.
FIRESTONE/FORD EXPLORER We have succesfully handled litigation on behalf of several clients arising from deaths and injuries due to Firestone ATX tire separation and Ford Explorer rollovers.
WRONGFUL DEATH In late 2004, we won a trial judgment for $1.3 million for a couple whose son was killed at a teenagers party.
MASS TORTS We handle claims involving large numbers of individuals injured by defective products including medical devices, prosthetics, drugs, contraceptives, and pharmaceuticals. The firm represents individuals, as well as groups of similarly injured claimants.
APPEALS The firm has decades of experience in civil and criminal appeals at the federal and state level. It has been successful in reversing dozens of convictions in criminal matters and is frequently retained for the purpose of appeal by defendants who were represented by other counsel at trial. We are often called upon by other attorneys to assist in appellate matters and have represented other lawyers successfully in appeals of sanctions assessed against them by federal judges.
The results obtained depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. |
