Representative Cases

At the Law Offices of Robert D. Rouse III, we are extremely proud that we have been able to help so many victims and families who have been injured by others. The settlements and verdicts below represent a sampling of the cases we have successfully settled or tried on behalf of our clients. All reported cases were contested and all were collected or are in the process of payment. The defendant in each case was represented by counsel.

Motorcycle Cement Truck Collision

An eighteen year old East Carolina University student suffered a traumatic brain injury when a cement truck turned in front of him as he was riding his motorcycle to class. The case settled at mediation for $1 million, a portion of which was structured to provide ongoing income for life.

Collision with Logging Equipment in Roadway

A middle aged woman suffered a broken hip when she was driving home at dusk on a rural highway and ran into logging equipment that had been backed out across the roadway with no lighting. The insurance company for the logging company denied coverage, denied liability, and ultimately denied the claim. The case proceeded to trial where the logging company settled for $1 million at jury selection.

Traumatic Brain Injury from Golf Cart Accident

A five year old boy suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was run over by his 13 year old cousin while riding on a golf cart with other kids on his father’s property. The case settled at mediation with a structured settlement to the five year old boy for the guaranteed payout of $1.5 million.

Tractor Trailer Collides with Highway Mower

A forty five year old single father of three sons was rendered a quadriplegic when he was struck by a tractor trailer truck while operating a tractor mower on the side of the highway. The trucking company paid its $2 million policy limits for liability. Workers compensation provides continuing coverage and is projected to meet or exceed an additional $4.5 million in benefits.

Tractor Trailer Collision Resulting in Wrongful Death

A 50 year old male painter was killed when a tractor trailer truck failed to stop for a red light. The decedent left a spouse and two children. The case settled for over $900,000.00.

Fire Insurance Claim

Restaurant owner recovered full policy limits at trial after insurance company denied coverage.

Dog Attack

A community college student was attacked by a pitt bull outside of her apartment complex while walking her small dogs. The attack required multiple surgeries and skin grafting to her non-dominant arm and ultimately left her with permanent scarring and some loss of feeling and sensation in her arm. The case settled prior to a lawsuit being filed for $350,000.00. It should be noted that the insurance company initially tried to deny that the pit bull was owned by their insured, but ultimately admitted liability after documents and other evidence was produced by Rouse Law attorneys which proved ownership of the dog.
