Silverman Thompson Secures Multi-Million Dollar Settlements for Personal Injury Clients
Silverman Thompson’s nationally recognized personal injury team recently secured extremely favorable outcomes in two tragic and complex cases. The firm’s attorneys obtained a $7.5 million settlement for a severely injured motorcyclist and a $1.75 million resolution for the family of a young construction worker who was fatally struck on the job.
$7.5 Million Settlement in Catastrophic Motorcycle Collision
In June 2025, Silverman Thompson successfully resolved a catastrophic motorcycle collision case for $7,500,000.
The case involved a motorcyclist who suffered life-altering injuries after being struck by a vehicle. The magnitude of the settlement reflects the severity of the client’s condition and the need for lifelong care, services, and equipment. The resolution ensures that the client will have access to the support and care he needs to manage the devastating aftermath of the collision.
$1.75 Million Settlement in Tragic Construction Site Fatality
Silverman Thompson also obtained justice for the grieving family of a 22-year-old construction worker who was tragically killed on the job.
On July 12, 2023, the worker was part of a paving crew on Falls Road in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore City. While placing a temporary line on a newly paved portion of the roadway, he was run over by a 9,000-pound compacting asphalt roller. The heavy equipment, operated by an untrained and unqualified coworker, backed over him starting at his feet and continuing until his skull was crushed. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Following a detailed investigation, Silverman Thompson discovered multiple safety violations. The roller lacked a functioning backup alarm, horn, visual strobe, and an owner’s manual. The equipment had been rented to the victim’s employer, who failed to follow basic safety standards.
The case was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City and litigated for over a year. On behalf of the victim’s parents, the firm brought claims for wrongful death and a survival action based on the young man’s conscious pain and suffering. The matter was resolved during private mediation three months before trial for $1,750,000: a fantastic result given Maryland’s unfair cap on non-economic damages.
