Our job as your attorneys is not complete unless you are satisfied with the results, and at Parks & Crump, we have a history of producing results. Our clients and results speak for themselves. Here are just examples of our work.
- The case of Martin Lee Anderson captured headlines around the world when the 14 year old teen was killed at a Florida Boot Camp hours after he arrived. After Parks & Crump took the case, a videotape was uncovered and revealed several camp guards beating the teen to death while a nurse watched. Parks & Crump generated widespread public outcry in this case with marches and demonstrations. Ultimately, the state of Florida settled for $10 million agreement with the teen’s family.
- 2 year old Zaniyah Hinson died after being left inside a scorching van for more than two hours by employees of a church-run day care center in Daytona Beach. The case was settled for $2.4 million for the baby’s mother.
- A former bat boy for the Boston Red Sox was molested more than 20 years ago by the clubhouse manager in Polk County where the team held its summer training camp. He received a substantial confidential settlement even though the statute of limitations had expired.
- A 27 year old Georgia woman was injured after being hit by the president and general manager of an auto dealership who was driving a company car. The case went to trial, and a jury awarded her $3.5 million.
- A 12 year old cheerleader fell and was injured inside a Wal-Mart store in Tallahassee. The company refused to settle for $5,000 and the case went to trial. The jury awarded the girl $250,000. "That surprised the judge as much as it shocked Wal-Mart," Benjamin Crump says.
- A man sustained injuries when a UPS truck ran into his car. The company said the damages were worth no more than $600. The case went to trial, and the jury awarded him $424,000.
- A popular church leader in Thomasville, Georgia, was killed by a drunk driver in a company car. The company told the victim’s family that the life of an African-American man in South Georgia wasn’t worth more than $1 million. The jury awarded his widow $5 million, the largest recovery for a single wrongful death case in Thomas County.
