Plaintiffs | Success Record
30 Years and Counting
Over the last three decades, Mr. Morrell has successfully handled numerous cases representing the plaintiff. To provide an entire summary of his highlights over an impressive 30 year legal career would require many additional pages on this website. Here is a short history of some of the law firm’s noteworthy personal injury attorney practice successes.
When representing the plaintiffs:
- Settled a $12 million dollar case involving an injured car driver.
- Handled the first private party hazardous waste clean up case in the State of California, and recovered approximately $4 million from the United States Government, under the then newly enacted CERCLA statute.
- Recovered over $1 million dollars on behalf of an adult Vietnamese family whose father, an accomplished swimmer, drowned in a public swimming pool.
- Recovered close to $2 million on behalf of a Hispanic female who was injured as a result of a dangerous road design, against a public entity.

- Recovered just under $1 million dollars for an individual who slipped on a ramp and injured his knee.
- Recovered just under $1 million dollars in a fire case where the defendants offered nothing until just before the trial.
This is just a small sample of the results obtained when Mr. Morrell represented the plaintiff or injured party.
