Posted on September 11, 2023September 12, 2023 by HaggardTeam

The Haggard Law Firm’s Pedro Echarte and Michael Haggard have obtained a $19.5 Million global settlement involving two separate negligent security cases against common defendants. While the incidents were entirely unrelated, the same common defendants owned and operated the two multi-family residential properties in South Florida. Both incidents happened only months apart from each other. The names of the parties are confidential. Because both incidents were covered by the same insurance policies, Echarte and Haggard negotiated the settlement of both cases for the available policy limits of $19,000,000 in addition to an extra $500,000 directly from the defendant property management company. Both cases settled shortly after the respective lawsuits were filed.

$1.25 Million Settlement in Wrongful Death Case Involving County Bus and Motorcycle

Posted on July 17, 2023July 19, 2023 by HaggardTeam

The Haggard Law Firm’s Douglas McCarron has obtained a $1.25 Million settlement in an automobile crash wrongful death involving a Miami-Dade County bus. Because the case was against a count(a sovereign immunity case), it was necessary to file a Claims Bill in the Florida Legislature to finalize the settlement.

Most Plaintiff law firms shy away from sovereign immunity cases due to the statutory caps of $200,000 or $300,000. The Haggard Law Firm takes these cases and routinely lobbies the Florida legislature successfully to pass claims bills such as the Sanchez case

On May 13^th, 2019, Jason Sanchez was riding his motorcycle to work at approximately 7:49 a.m. He was traveling north on SW 107^th Avenue in Miami-Dade County, Florida. As Mr. Sanchez approached the intersection of SW 107^th Avenue and SW 176^thStreet, a Miami-Dade County Bus ran a clearly marked stop sign and entered the intersection. The bus driver drove the bus directly into the path of Mr. Sanchez, violating Mr. Sanchez’s right-of-way. Sanchez couldn’t avoid the bus. He crashed his motorcycle and died. The police investigation of the tragic accident showed that the bus driver was completely at fault.
