At Mirador Law, we fight for justice when negligence turns lives upside down. We’re proud to announce that our firm secured two of the Top 50 Personal Injury Jury Verdicts in California for 2024, with combined awards totaling more than $17.7 million. This recognition underscores our reputation as trusted Pleasanton personal injury lawyers who handle complex, high-stakes cases with compassion and skill.
In Jimenez, et al. v. New Haven Unified School District, Mirador Law attorneys Megan Burns and Emily L. Dahm, along with co-counsel Alan Charles Dell’Ario, secured a $9,573,616 verdict on behalf of a mother and daughter who suffered severe physical and emotional injuries after an on-campus assault. The jury found that school officials failed to act on repeated warnings of bullying and threats, leading to a brutal attack.
“The Jimenez verdict sent a clear message: schools have a duty to protect their students,” said trial attorney Emily L. Dahm. “We’re grateful the jury stood with our clients.”
In Wilson, et al. v. City of Martinez, a tree collapse during a community farmers market caused serious injuries to several people. The City admitted fault for failing to maintain public property but contested the extent of the injuries. Megan Burns, partnering with Adam M. Carlson of Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook, helped secure a $8,165,042 verdict for victims dealing with permanent physical and psychological trauma.
“These cases reflect more than just legal victories—they represent accountability, safety, and dignity for our clients,” said Megan Burns, founding attorney at Mirador Law.
Mirador Law’s inclusion in the Top 50 Jury Verdicts in California is a powerful reflection of the firm’s experience with public entity liability, school negligence, and catastrophic injury claims. While our office serves the entire Bay Area, we’re especially proud to be a resource for clients in the Pleasanton and Tri-Valley communities.
