Robert A. Karney is a highly distinguished attorney who has represented clients against major trucking companies, the Ford Motor Company, Bell South, Pepsi Cola Bottling Corp., the State of North Carolina, manufacturers in the health care industry, negligent physicians/hospitals, nursing homes, and virtually every insurance company throughout the country. In this exciting interview, Robert discusses his landmark work on behalf of a Plaintiff, which resulted in an $8 million verdict. While on a trip to Key West with her husband, the Plaintiff, who was seven months pregnant at the time, was severally injured when her car collided with an extended boom from a utility truck. Plaintiff was able to prove after extensive litigation over several years, which included many depositions, interrogatories, requests for production, etc., that the Defendant's subcontractor negligently failed to retract the boom in an effort to save time while removing the telephone pools which were damaged during Hurricane Andrew. The Plaintiff's child was prematurely delivered and survived the trauma of this massive accident. His mother, on the other hand, lost 25% of her brain, which has left her in a wheelchair and with significantly impaired mental faculties. It is unfortunate, but as a result of this accident the Plaintiff will require constant care for the rest of her life. Difficulties in this case arose due to the Defendant Utility contracting with their master contractor to remove these poles. The master contractor then hired a subcontractor, who in turn hired another contractor to perform the job. The negligent driver in fact, was actually an employee of the subcontractors' subcontractor. Just before trial all of the Defendants elected to settle this matter rather than face being exposed to an even larger jury verdict. After earning his way through college at Mercer University in Macon Georgia, working construction and various other jobs Robert then entered Cumberland School of Law at Samford University, graduating in May 1975. He began his legal career in September 1975 working with two, then prominent Charlotte criminal attorneys handling their personal injury cases. In 1979 he then opened his own law firm specializing in personal injury and medical malpractice, which continues to the present.
