Brockman, P.C. A Personal Injury Law Firm, Jonathan R. Brockman has a proven track record of recovering compensation in cases that include car accidents, wrongful death, medical malpractice, premises liability, brain injury and construction accidents. He has 5 offices throughout metro Atlanta. He continues to maintain an active case load because he enjoys practicing law because of the ability to help people often in one of the most critical times of their life. This year has been similar to past years in his ability to help his clients. Jon resolved a number of cases for amounts above initially disclosed policy limits. The first case pertains to an injured client who suffered a talus fracture. The liability limits initially disclosed were $250,000 and the initial offer was $166,000. We filed suit to pursue bad faith damages because the initial offer was woefully inadequate. During the depositions of the party Defendants a PLUP policy was uncovered. The case settled for $675,000. Jon settled a commercial vehicle case where the initial amount of policy limits disclosed was only $2,000,000 and was not offered initially. Accordingly, Jon filed suit to pursue the full amount of the policy and, perhaps, bad faith damages for failing to meet the initial demand. During the course of discovery, another $1,000,000 policy was disclosed. The case settled for the full policy limits of $3,000,000. Jon recently settled a commercial vehicle case after 3 1/2 years of litigation. The collision was caused by an intoxicated driver operating a loaded dump truck. The collision involved 5 cars causing injury to 5 or 6 people. The main issue in the case were the competing claims. Ultimately, Jon resolved the claim for $2,300,000 as a result of his efforts in litigation. Awards such as this enable people to pay off medical bills, restore other losses and start the road to recovery. Perhaps even more importantly, it gives them peace of mind. Prior to representing victims, Mr. Brockman spent the early part of his career defending individuals and entities such as insurance and trucking companies against personal injury claims. This gives him unique insight into the tactics these defendants use and enables him to build a strong case for his clients today. For his successes and his compassionate representation, Mr. Brockman has received a number of honors, including earning the highest peer rating possible of AV Preeminent* from Martindale-Hubbell, holding an Avvo “Superb” rating, and being a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Top Lawyers of Georgia, and National Trial Lawyers Top 100 (Civil Plaintiff),.
