Verdicts & Settlements

Pittsburgh Injury Attorneys

The attorneys at Ogg Murphy & Perkosky, LLP have handled thousands of cases on behalf of individuals and families. The majority of these cases have resulted in settlements benefiting our clients. Many of the settlements have been have been for significant amounts, ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to multi-million dollar settlements. The attorneys at Ogg Murphy & Perkosky, LLP have also successfully tried, when necessary, many cases to verdict.

Please consider this a small but representative sampling of the types of cases that Ogg, Murphy & Perkosky, LLP have litigated and successfully brought to resolution on behalf of our clients. Note about the confidentiality of settlements. As you read about many of the results we have obtained, you will notice that specific details are not provided. For example, the identity of our clients and the defendants, the date of the incident, the Docket or Court Number of the lawsuit, along with the amount of the settlement, have been withheld. The primary reason for this is that Defendants and their insurance companies and carriers, through their attorneys, typically condition or negotiate that the details, especially, the monetary value of settlements, remain confidential. For this reason, we can only provide you with the general information surrounding each claim and case. We would prefer to publish this information, and we believe the existence of confidentiality clauses promotes a lack of openness and transparency in Pennsylvania's civil justice system. However, our ethical obligation is to serve our client to the fullest and to obtain the best results for them, even if this includes reaching settlements with confidentiality provisions. It is only with jury verdicts and certain cases can we provide names and amounts. In such cases, when permitted, we have done so.
