Silverman Thompson’s top-rated personal injury attorneys has secured extremely favorable outcomes in two tragic and complex cases this summer; a motorcyclist who sustained catastrophic injuries received a $7.5 million settlement, while the family of a young man killed at a construction site secured $1.75 million in a wrongful death claim.

 

 

Motorcyclist Awarded $7.5 Million in Settlement After Devastating Crash

 

In one of the firm’s most significant resolutions to date, Silverman Thompson secured $7.5 million on behalf of a client who was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident.

The victim suffered permanent, disabling injuries after being struck by a car. The size of the settlement reflects not only the gravity of those injuries but also the substantial, ongoing care and assistance the client will require. This result provides the resources necessary for a lifetime of medical support, equipment, and personal care.

 

$1.75 Million Recovery for Family After Fatal Workplace Incident

 

The firm also reached a powerful resolution for the family of a 22-year-old construction worker killed in a workplace accident in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood.

The fatal incident occurred in July 2023, while the worker was placing temporary traffic markings on freshly laid pavement along Falls Road. A 9,000-pound roller compactor, operated by an unqualified coworker, reversed over him, causing fatal injuries at the scene.

Silverman Thompson’s attorneys uncovered serious safety failings that contributed to the tragedy. The roller was missing critical safety features such as a backup alarm, horn, strobe light, and even an instruction manual. The rental company and the employer had failed to comply with basic safety protocols.

Filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, the case involved wrongful death and survival claims and was litigated intensively for over a year. The firm secured a $1.75 million resolution during private mediation just three months prior to trial: an extraordinary result under Maryland’s restrictive damages cap for non-economic loss.

This case received coverage from several local news outlets, including WBAL, WMAR2 News, The Baltimore Banner, Fox Baltimore, and WBAL-TV.
