The Summerville Firm reports that in 2017 it protected or recovered $86 million in verdicts and settlements, much of it through its work in the appeals courts.

The wins for the three-lawyer firm include a case at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in which the judges reversed a trial court that had eliminated a plaintiff’s $1 million win. The case set an important precedent over an insurer’s liability in a case where a company-owned car was driven by an uninsured employee.
