Bremer Whyte Brown & O’Meara is proud to announce a significant, favorable verdict in the San Francisco Superior Court, where our Northern California trial team successfully defended an admitted liability case against one of the region’s premier plaintiffs’ firms. The matter involved contentious personal injury litigation arising from a rideshare collision.
After a month-long jury trial in which Plaintiff asked the jury to award more than $1.2 million, BWB&O Partner Dan LaCount and Associate Ryan Murray secured a verdict of just $158,000—well below our client’s CCP Section 998 offer to compromise of $185,000.
The victory was built in part on critical pretrial work and strategy. Dan and Ryan’s aggressive motions in limine practice severely limited plaintiff’s case—excluding testimony from lien-based treating medical providers and preventing plaintiff from introducing any compelling medical treatment records or billing evidence. As a result, plaintiff was left to rely solely on her own testimony to prove causation and damages.
This outcome showcases BWB&O’s trial strength and our commitment to taking cases the distance when the facts support it. Dan and Ryan’s meticulous preparation and skilled courtroom advocacy produced a verdict that exceeded all expectations.
