Earlier this year, Steve Markey and Amy Orsi settled two six figure legal malpractice claims. Both cases were against attorneys who failed to file the Plaintiffs' claims with applicable statute of limitations. The actual amounts of the settlements is confidential.
Recently, Steve reached a significant settlement against a builder and subcontractor as a result of serious personal injury and death arising out of ownership of a defectively constructed condominium. After moving into their condominium, the Plaintiff and her now deceased husband began experiencing various health problems, and both were ultimately diagnosed with cancer. Subsequent to their diagnosis, the Plaintiff was notified that there was an issue with the construction of the condominium community in which she and her family resided and became ill, and that the construction defects led to the development of toxic mold.
Steve also reached a sizable settlement against a Baltimore area orthopedic surgeon in a medical malpractice action wherein the doctor performed back surgery on a pre-teen who suffered from scoliosis. Following surgery, it was discovered that the instrumentation placed in the minor child's back was too short and was not adequately secure. As a result, the minor child had to undergo corrective surgery. Steve resolved several other medical and legal malpractice cases this year.
Amy recently settled a wrongful death auto accident case on behalf of a minor child whose father was killed in an auto accident by a driver who ran a red light.
Together, Steve and Amy have been successful in obtaining several million dollars in settlements and verdicts this year for cases involving medical malpractice, automobile accidents, slip and falls, and contract matters.
