SETTLEMENT REACHED IN TOLEDO CASE

Charles Nichols litigated a legal malpractice case which was recently settled for $82,500.00. The plaintiff was injured when a gang plank collapsed beneath her while she was leaving a Caribbean island that was owned and operated by Norwegian Cruise Lines. When she got home, she sought the assistance of a prominent Toledo attorney who accepted her case. Unfortunately, he did not realize that the statute of limitations for this type of action was only one year. When the lawyer filed the lawsuit almost two years after the injury, the case was dismissed for not having been timely filed. Although the attorney admitted that he was negligent in failing to timely file the law suit, there was much dispute over the cause and the extent of the plaintiffs injuries. Finally, after almost two years of litigation, this matter was settled just prior to the commencement of trial.
