Awards, Verdicts, and Settlements Obtained by
Murrin Law Firm
Murrin Law Firm
Settlement: $147,500
A woman and her two children sustained injuries after an automobile accident where they were struck by a vehicle claimed to be stolen. A subsequent investigation by our attorneys found that the owner of the vehicle was a car dealership that had sent the vehicle to an individual for repair. The Court found that the vehicle was not stolen and was used with the dealership’s authorization. A settlement was reached after a bifurcated trial with the dealership.
Settlement: $200,000
A 50-year-old woman was walking through her apartment complex courtyard on her way to the parking garage. Suddenly, her feet slipped from underneath her and she fell to the ground breaking her arm, wrist and sustained injuries to all parts of her body. The apartment complex was found liable because of a faulty sprinkler system that was spraying the walkway causing slippery moss to build up. The case was heavily litigated until the Murrin Law Firm was able to secure a six figure settlement prior to trial after rejecting much smaller offers.
Award: $400,000
A tourist was attending a rodeo and was invited to participate in a rodeo event. He and others were supposed to stand as long as possible while a bull was let loose in the arena. The last man standing would win the contest. Our client was attacked by the bull and injured. The jury found the organizers of the rodeo liable.
Award: $948,000
A group of investors sued their broker and affiliates for failing to conduct proper due diligence and overstating the investment potential. If properly informed, the investors would have recognized that the investment was unsuitable prior to investing. This award of damages was obtained after an arbitration trial.

Murrin’s availability to the group was beyond the call of duty, and his guidance and advice was thoughtful, conservative and deliverate. It goes without saying and more that I would highly recommend… Murrin in a litigation case, especially in a securities case as complex in which he represented me.
