Million-Dollar Verdicts and Settlements

2025

• $76.7 Million Jury Verdict — Premises Liability
  In June 2025, Tyler was a member of the Marko Law trial team that secured a record-breaking $76,727,610 jury verdict against The Kroger Company of Michigan — the largest premises liability verdict in Michigan history. Several other law firms had previously rejected the case before Tyler filed the lawsuit and spearheaded litigation efforts that ultimately led to this historic result.
• $3.5 Million Settlement — Rear-End Crash (Corporate Defendant)
  In March 2025, Tyler secured a $3,500,000 settlement for a man who was rear-ended by a corporate vehicle. Critical body camera footage was uncovered that revealed the defendant was lying about how the collision occurred. This key evidence undermined the defense and drove the case to a substantial resolution.

2024

• $8 Million Jury Verdict — Accidental Shooting
  In May 2024, Tyler obtained an $8,000,000 jury verdict in Lapeer County for a client who was accidentally shot on a farm. The defense argued that it was Tyler’s client’s fault for not ensuring the gun was empty before the defendant pulled the trigger. The jury found the plaintiff 0% at fault. This was a Lapeer County record verdict that beat the prior record by over $6.5 million.
• $4.5 Million Jury Verdict — Pedestrian Run Over at Oil Change Shop
  In March 2024, Tyler went to trial and secured a $4,500,000 jury verdict in Washtenaw County for a client who was struck by a vehicle inside an oil change facility and driven through a closed garage door. The defense’s final offer before trial was just $22,500.
