Attorneys John Eads and Alex Kay of Marko Law secure $350K jury verdict in Oakland County sidewalk injury case after insurance offered just $75K.
We’re thrilled to announce a powerful win by two of Marko Law’s newest trial warriors: John Eads and Alex Kay, who secured a $350,000 jury verdict in an Oakland County civil case involving a dangerous sidewalk deviation.
This victory is especially meaningful—not just because of the result, but because of the story behind it.
Just 30 days after joining the Plaintiff’s side from a career on the defense, John Eads stepped into his first Plaintiff’s trial, preparing for trial in just two weeks. Alongside him, associate attorney Alex Kay played a key role in putting together the case and securing justice for our client.
Our client, an elderly woman, was walking into her physical therapy appointment when she encountered a significant sidewalk deviation. The uneven concrete caused her to trip and fall, resulting in two broken wrists, surgery, and a long, painful recovery.
To make matters worse, the Defendant quickly fixed the sidewalk AFTER the incident—but never accepted responsibility. Instead, Auto-Owners Insurance tried to diminish her pain, initially offering just $75,000 for her injuries.
Let us be clear: her pain was worth far more.
While many firms might have accepted the lowball offer and moved on, we refused to back down. Our team took this case to trial, putting the facts in front of a jury.
The result? A $350,000 jury verdict—more than five times the insurance company’s initial offer.
This is what it means to fight for what’s right.
This case is a testament to the strength of our team and the values we live by every day at Marko Law:
We’re proud of the work John and Alex did on this case, and even prouder to have delivered justice for a client who deserved better than what the insurance company was willing to offer.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to unsafe conditions—on a sidewalk, in a business, or on someone else’s property—you deserve more than silence or lowball settlements. You deserve a team that will take your case seriously and go the distance.
