Javier Perez v. Caleb David Sunde: Case No.: BC530720
The monies will provide Mr. Javier Perez the medical care and assistance he will need for the rest of his life. Lead plaintiff trial attorney at The Dominguez Firm, Mr. Olivier Taillieu, established 100% defendant liability, although there were no independent witnesses or video to the accident and Mr. Perez had no recollection of how the accident occurred. The only eyewitness version given to the jury was defendant doctor’s alleged negligent free operation of his vehicle.
Attorney Olivier Taillieu’ last words to the jury were an emotive plea, “I now leave Mr. Javier Perez in your hands.” After one day of deliberations, the verdict is believed to have set a new record this year at the Los Angeles downtown courthouse for highest verdict in a mild neurocognitive disorder head injury case this year.
The parents testified during the three weeks trial of their deep concern for Javier’s future well-being. The parents and Mr. Javier Perez expressed much thanks and appreciation to the court, their trial team, and for the jury’s understanding and verdict.
Nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney Juan Dominguez states, “it was an honor to be part of the trial team with lead trial attorney Olivier Taillieu, Maura Gewirtz, and Larry J. Litzky assisting these most noble and humble client and parents, and to congratulate them with this much-deserved justice”
