York Gaskill Gets Results
Millions of Dollars in Personal Injury Judgments & Settlements
2.2 MILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENT
Chip Gaskill and Chris York settled a 2.2-million-dollar injury matter in 2014 on behalf of two minor children who were catastrophically injured in a crosswalk in Johns Creek, Georgia. Each of the children had extended hospital stays and complex injuries. Chris York now serves as the personal co-conservator assisting with the administration of the funds secured on behalf of the children.
$867,000 VERDICT
Our attorneys tried a case in May 2017 on behalf of a gentleman who was served broken glass in his drink at a local restaurant. The restaurant offered $33,000 to settle prior to trial, defending the case by arguing that plaintiff's damages were attributable to acid reflux and not erosive esophagitis. The Fulton State Court jury brought back a verdict against the restaurant for $867,000. No appeal was taken on that verdict.
LANDMARK CASES
In 2005, partners Chip Gaskill and Chris York worked together handling the civil portion of the first known “infanticide” case in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

Success in Defending Atlanta Property Owner
DEFENSE VERDICT
In a case tried in 2012, we represented a defendant property owner in a major building in mid-town Atlanta.

The jury returned a defense verdict on behalf of our client.

Success in Class Action Lawsuits & Appeals
CLASS CERTIFICATION UPHELD
In the summer of 2017 a class action lawsuit, represented by York Gaskill, was successfully certified as a class by the Superior Court of Fulton County. It is currently being litigated in that Court. That case went twice to the Georgia Court of Appeals, and ultimately the Court of Appeals upheld the Trial Court's decision to certify the class. The Class Action status will be updated with pleadings in connection with that Class Action matter based on the direction from that Court.
