Adam E. Carr successfully defended a truck driver alleged to have caused the death of a motorcyclist after the truck turned into the motorcycle's path. The motorcyclist was a 35-year-old small businessman who left behind a wife and young child. The truck driver's employer denied responsibility, arguing that the driver acted outside the scope of his employment. Adam E. Carr recovered a judgment that the employer's insurer was required to defend the truck driver and to pay damages on his behalf.  The wrongful death case then settled for a low seven-figure sum with no payment by the truck driver.

Adam E. Carr successfully defended a teenage driver who had struck a teenage pedestrian in a crosswalk at a high rate of speed.  The pedestrian's treating psychiatrist claimed that the pedestrian suffered a head injury that caused a traumatic personality change.  Using prior medical, school, and other records, Adam E. Carr was able to demonstrate that other factors were more likely the cause of the pedestrian's mental health issues.  Adam E. Carr was able to successfully negotiate a low six-figure settlement within the limits of the driver's automobile insurance coverage.

The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries and needed to have a prosthetic hip.  He produced over $130,000 in past medical bills, and his treating physician estimated a need for future surgery. The jury found that the SUV driver was not at fault, and the motorcyclist received no payment.

Adam E. Carr successfully defended a homeowner alleged to have been responsible for the actions of a dog that was living on the property. The dog had bitten off and permanently amputated part of the right thumb of a nun who had been walking along the public roadway. The nun incurred over $50,000 in medical bills for treatment that included two surgeries. The dog owner's insurer had settled with the nun and refused to defend the homeowner. Adam E. Carr reached a reasonable low six-figure settlement with the nun on behalf of the homeowner's insurer.  He then successfully recovered the funds from the dog owner's insurer.
