Settlement in Suit Over Baby's Botched Delivery

Yarborough Applegate negotiated a $2.2 million settlement for a young woman whose baby was born with brain damage and later died. The doctor at the center of the case lied during her deposition, claiming she waited to deliver the baby by C-section because the 19-year-old mother withdrew her consent to have the operation.

Settlement
$1.7 Million

Dram Shop Settlement

The firm won a $1.65 million settlement on behalf of a family whose loved one was killed after being ejected from the passenger seat of a drunk driver’s car. Yarborough Applegate pursued a Dram Shop case against two bars in Columbia where both the victim and the driver had visited and were over-served prior to the crash. Beyond reaching this critical settlement for the family in civil court, the firm’s discovery process revealed dangerous hospitality practices at both bars.

What We'll Bring To Your Case
Hear From Our Clients
My family is so grateful for the guidance and counsel of Yarborough Applegate in the wrongful death case regarding my mother. Attorney Perry Buckner and paralegal Amy Johnson were the professional, supportive team we needed to secure justice. Perry is a knowledgeable professional and strategist who guided me every step of the way to protect my interests. Amy provided endless hours of professional guidance and emotional support. They have access to professionals in a variety of fields who aided our case. In a foreign landscape, grieving, I looked to them for guidance. They heard me when I said that the case needed to be about more than a potential financial resolution: I wanted to effect change in the nursing home landscape. I highly recommend Yarborough Applegate as your partner when you have suffered loss of any kind. Tammy L.
